Warning - Shrek just lost me over 880 pips in a couple of hours

Warning, dont do this.

I was in the middle of placing a trade when my 4 year old son came in and asked if he could watch Shrek. I pulled the trigger, left the pc and put on Shrek. Came back a couple of hours later, found myself 400 pips down. I had pressed buy instead of sell. Good trade otherwise though.

400 pips in the wrong direction + 400 pips missed + 40 spread = I am having a beer now.

Trade Well :whistling

The other day I had two profitable trades active in cable and three temporarily unprofitable ones.

I intended to close the most profitable, but instead, clicked on the icon to close them all. That was a bad mistake. But the unforgivable mistake was not to check when it asked me to confirm; I just confirmed without thinking. -242 pips.


Trading was rather subdued for the rest of the day.

What do you think the damage would have been if the request was for High School Musical?

Hilarymannah,

My stop was at 400, I came back from Shrek a couple of pips shy of the stop, (What, its a good film, quite addictive!) so I closed it.

I was so pleased with the performance (If I had pressed the correct button) that I reversed the (wrong) position. New trade in profit now.

Net, I am well up on all trades of the day now, so I can laugh about it now - just!
