still have no idea what happened. of course, i understand the technical aspect of the run/short covering/etc- still, it happened pretty much every market at the same time, to include all currencies. my point: there was a trigger.

anyone know?

as an aside- my stop limit got lept over (10 point spread between stop and limit on sgxnk- never had it jumped b4. so, yeah... between that an my stop limit (20 fucking points!) being lept in HSI put me in a 'goodbye to your last 2 weeks of solid gains' position. thankfully, my add near the top in sgxnk saved my ass. i'm far from happy, but about as happy as one can be now that i'm down 'only' $2500. that was not fun...
