I'm also still getting used to the electronic order placing with the mini. Monday I tried to sell 2 to SAR a buy and wound up buying instead of selling. Yesterday did alright on 3 trades but today I made the BIG MISTAKE of not having a stop in after I stupidly sold at 1281 shortly after the open. I tried to get out at 1289 but missed that and didn't get out until 1296.50. Rest of day managed to scalp a couple. But it was a costly mistake for me. I keep telling myself that I'm paying my tuition, but didn't know it was going to be so severe.
