I actually had a clicking error today...I could have kicked myself. We were pushing toward 2750. we pushed over 2740 briefly at 9:03 and 20 minutes later at 9:23. 20 minutes after that I was expecting the same thing, so at 9:40 I put a quick buy order in. Sure enough we went up from 2730 to 2753...Unfortunately, I had clicked the radio button for sell rather than buy...I caught it before it made the full run up, but still...I played it exactly right and still lost..DOH!

I am hoping there will b a chance to get in lower next week before the big one...but it seems like when I think that, the train goes blazing by whlie I stand at the station.
Im going to step back, a nd rethink my strategy. I am raising my lot sizes and thinking more short term trades are going to yield some decent change, so long as I don't over trade.

one thing I will NOT do, is hold long over the weekend.
There's a Bull USD conspiracy out there

Oh man I had a horrible one of those today myself. Hasn't happened to me in a while and then it happened at the worst possible time with a bunch of positions in that all got wiped out for a loss.
Fortunately I was able to quickly recover and ended up making up for that mistake in spades...

Either way, a sell at 2730 would still have been a good position thinking longer term. I would have kept it and just held it over the weekend. Hindsight is 20/20 though!

The best thing that can happen to you is to find out where you're wrong.
