Actually,

1> No I did not....too busy pulling my hair out, and

2> Printing the Ticket as it is XMitted is a terrific idea. When I did not get a Fill on my Stop I checked the Ticket and that was the first I realized that I had mis-typed the Order. I would have been Long the sucker all the way to the Low and not known.

When I did realize, then I messed myself up as in my haste to "fix" the mistake I entered orders to Sell more than I wanted to so in effect I missed the Sell because of botching the Stop that I thought was "in". (Soon as I realized I OverSold I just covered everything at Market and tried to get my composure back.)

Spent the rest of the day playing catch up. Not a smart move once one gets a bit shaken by not one, but three errors in keypunch in a row.
