What a stupid day! I lost $5500 plus today. first of all I made about $1500 in the first 15 minutes of trading. Then I had a coffee refill and a snack, went back to work and then put on three trades - and guess what my cute wife came down and suggested that I take my little girl to kindergarten while she took my son for an early doctor's checkup appointment. Sure I thought, why not. Duh, duh.... When I came back all three trades turned significantly against me. Waited most of the morning for a turn. Never came. Finally, closed them out for a loss. But reviewing the charts I could have made some money if I hadn't doodled around at the school - giving a little chat to the kids on how to be nice to their pet hamster. And talked a bit with a friend whose boy was in the same class as my daughter. And then I even picked up some donuts to munch on when I got home. The moral of the story is don't walk away from your computer when you have a trade on: you can't cut loses or do anything. Most expensive kindergarten and donut buying experience in my life. How dumb can I get? Should have had a lobotomy done at the same time. May the trade be with you Steven
