To better help me be patient with the trades, I take small breaks now and then from the computer. I am moving some dirt around in the yard a bucket at a time leveling off some areas - checking in every few minutes.
OK, that being said: my terminology was not correct. I actually bought a contract at 884.25, but I already had a short at 886.50 that it covered instead of it being a new postion to go long per se. I just forgot about the short temporarily due to my extra activites in trying to wait on the trades. I just didn't want to type/explain my stupid error. Hope that makes sense.
