DislikedOk.. let me give you guys a good laugh
So i have like 3000$ deposit in my account... just started
I made 100$ for the day
then i saw an opportunity to scalp in gold...
So i shorted it... with a TP at 1$ and SL at 1$ ... 0.1lot
Close the pc and went to sleep
When i woke up i realised i had been stopped out..
But.. instead of 0.1
i had put 10 lots
.. so i lost 10x1x100 - $1000 that day itself...
and the rest as they say is historyIgnored
Similar scenario a while back for me, my trading platform is a java based engine which runs an autodownload from the web whenever I run it.
It defaults to a standard lot size 5 times my normal acceptable risk %.
Of course, I place a trade without checking what I thought was set as the lot size and it goes the wrong way to the tune of 5 x my acceptable SL value.
On the brighter side, I made it back within a couple of weeks so I am sure with the help of the Warriors all will be returned to normal soon.
It only ever happens once
Cheers!
