{quote} Wow another big one on the FTSE DIVI 30.42, well this puts my trade in a dilemma, will have to make a decision before 16:30 on Wednesday if I haven't closed by then
Hopefully we'll be out by then, if not I'll add and see how it goes, I've a relatively small exposure at the moment and prepared for a longer run.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

I've been waiting for this situation for several months... very curious to see how you guys get out of it. Honestly, no joke. Averaging is always my thing, but I've always been of the opinion that you need a real Plan B rather than hoping the price will bounce back in your direction...

Just keep hedging and averaging...

Position size and bank also plays a part, plus I don’t feel I need to win every time, let’s see how it rolls out.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

I banked a couple of sell hedges on the way down and have an EU short running so looking healthier now but still in the game.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

Single long in play, my only concern is these gaps need to close near historical highs.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

Uploading this here for future reference, and as a reminder of what can happen if your position goes into DD and you're not prepared or your account doesn't allow these movements. Gap filled 6 days later, huge DD. Would you guys care to share what this DD meant to you in financial terms and how did you handle it? Even as a percentage of your account. It would be very informative. Cheers
