Dumb Trading Moments....

List of dumb moments in my trading career. Today being one of them.

1. Ever get pumped up to trade, pour over your charts, create a trading plan, and get all in the focus just to find out that the markets are closed? Well today was one of them. lol

2. Triple clicking buy buttons just to find out that you now own 3 times your usual holding size.

3. Completely forgetting how many contracts you had on until the close.

4. Short selling on a downtick (not allowed in Japan) Ended up writing a full report to the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

5. My monitor went blank once and I panicked thinking it was a blackout and had my position liquidated. It turns out my pc went to sleep from inactivity.

Anybody have any stupid trading moments?
