Devastating after hours trade...SCREWED!!

Quote from oldtime:

it only happened once. With IB. It traded through the stop where I got stopped out and moved away. The IB chart clearly showed my stop. I checked and double checked and fell asleep when the market moved away.

When I woke up I had been stopped out. I checked the chart and it never traded down to my stop and called IB. They said check the audit trail. Sure enough it had a higher stop.

Then why didn't I get stopped out when I was watching it and it traded through that higher stop?

No big deal, because about twenty minutes later it traded way through both stops so I came out a little better, but shit happens, hopefully never again to me. It never happened before and it's never happened since. I just don't like calling eyewitnesses delusional.

I'm glad I can share with you my personal misfortune for your appreciation.

Thanks for asking

This isn't whining? It's whining in my book.

I guess you have a different outlook on things. That's fine. But by essentially supporting the OP (who is a freaking idiot), you must be grouped in the idiot circle too. Sorry.

And by the way, note how the OP has gone silent after he got freaking lucky on his short cover. Pretty much says volumes about this whole thread.

I also got lucky, but I didn't go silent.

You are correct, I have a completely different outlook on things.

I'm proud to be an idiot.

May the circle be unbroken.

no need to apologize, I forgive you.

otherwise, I accept your apology, you freaking freak you (hey, nothing wrong with being a freak, a lot of us idiots are, you should join us sometime in our circle.)

Funny, but I don't recall IB paper statements.
ever heard of Stotler? They had paper statements, and the money in your account wasn't worth the paper they were printed on.
