David,

I can't Say that this doesn't "Piss Me Off" <<smile>>
I've just lost $100,000.00

I've seen other Contest Posts that verbally state intentions without using the 'GTC' or 'XXX' or 'YYY'

<<That's obviously what you meant it to be>>
Correct....isn't there any room for "warnings"....?

If I'd called in the order to my broker he would have said..."You want to do What? Okay, you want to use a stop...here's the correct usage....'GTC'.

However, the mistaken terminology is printed and I am responsible for knowing correct procedures. I will look back over the trades....try an understand what has caused this "Brick" to fall. I will PM later.

Only better trading can come from this...Right? <<smile>>

Chip

TO entire thread.

How sould you feel if we started a separate thread to post contest trades and kept this thread for discussing futures trading indicators and systems.

It might be cleaner and easier. Comments welcome.
