December 4, 2009:
June 2010 6e Euro futures hover at 1.50/contract. Sat in airport staring at screen. Typed in 45 contracts in little white box. Sat there thinking "pull the damn trigger". Flight attendant announces plane boarding. Closed notebook and went on plane. Just couldn't pull the trigger while being hours in flight. By the time I land, 6e rolls over 170 pips. When I get home, I'm pissed and don't follow up on the trade.
Three months later, 6e sits at 1.35.
$843K of profits. If. Only If.
