Son of a bitch, was watching for a short setup and left my desk 15 mins ago to make a smoothie! Sorry guys for not announcing it...

Crap!

Sometimes trading on the Ninja ChartTrader can be a mistake. If sometimes you zone out a bit that is. Woke up this morning to see I had entered a trade that I don't remember placing. Tried to close the trade to later see that I had double placed the trade. Before I knew it, I am out over $500.

Back to only trading the on the DOM

I feel your pain. Last year when I first got my IB account and was using the DOM, I had at least a dozen buy/sell mixups, limit/stop mixups, and leftover pieces of positions that sucked money out of my account.

problem was I was experimenting some stuff in the Demo but obviously must have entered something on a live chart and TADA! At least with a DOM, they color code it for us dummies so we know which system we are on.

Really pissed at myself!

Covered @ .95, not much of a new low there.

The 2-tick failed breakout (.85/.83) was a decent long signal, smacking myself for not jumping on it. Taking time to post here distracted me a bit. Shorts waiting for a breakdown of .85 got trapped, good long fuel there.
