Don't be too downhearted - I lost 77 today! Pretty poor. However, in my defence I was stopped out on a couple of trades which were (for a short time) profitable as the ADSL went down for an hour (apparently Nildram had a "core network failure", whatever that means!). In any case, I should have stopped when I was +20... Maybe I should make this my daily target. I agree with what someone said above (think it was Atilla); I also seem to become more risk loving when I'm "winning". Must remind myself to be extra careful with my next trade after a winner...
You have the phone number for your broker written on a notepad on your trading desk though, don't you, so that even if the electricity blows you can cover.
My SB firm has gone down twice in the last week and I've covered a trade at the market immediately by phone. (with the comfort of a separate data feed while doing this).
