Hi LPS5; The last time I remember busting my "allocated risk" on a trade (actually it was the margin limits), it happened due to some unknown keyboard error. I wiped out the DELL book for a couple price levels, ending up with about 6x my equity in DELL stock. I sold it back to the market with around a $500 overall loss, as I was on the right side of the trend, but it was the only time I have actually had sweat drip down my back while trading. -- Carl
