DislikedSorry to hear that, if it comforts you i burned one of my accounts in the beginning by forgetting i had an order placed, and i didnt have a SL placed like you didIgnored
Usually I have a rule that no SL is used unless I'm walking away from the computer. I trust myself enough to execute.
I think I placed that order like 2-3 days ago. I didn't see it because I had minimized my awaiting orders window to make room for stuff I wanted to check out.
Best part is that had I waited like 4 more seconds, I would of been down about 40 more pips I think.
At least I hit my limit on my big position and got out of my short around 2250 on the EU. So it's not all terrible.
Got to admit your mistakes, learn from them and move forward.
Only expectation matters . . .
