Jesus.

You will never believe what happened to me. I was using Leo and I'm such a poor typist that I fouled up. I was Long 2 from 1413, closed them out for a loss of a point at 1412. Then took it Long again and rode it up and Closed.

Just before I left the room I looked at my e-mail statement and wondered aloud how it could be so wrong....I didn't buy 10 contracts today and only sold 5, I bought 6, sold 6. All on Leo, because of my phone problems from yesterday.

So I walked out, came back about 20 minutes later and the e-mail was still on the screen. Picking up the phone, I hesitated and checked.....

Damn if that Sell at 1412 wasn't mis-typed as a Buy. I recall thinking what an excellent Fill it was.

Well I'm definitely Flat now.....sold 2 at 1421 and the other 2 at 1422. Must be God's Birthday present to me....sheesh.

Now if it had happened the other way around I would not have been as surprised. Have a good Thanksgiving.
