Re: Dumb Trading Moments....

You'd think I would learn (or at least be a carpenter and measure twice). AAPL setup very strong. Short in the order window for 1000 shares. Executed and lord have mercy....a buck in a hurry, then another, then the third. Absolutely perfect setup and trade Well, the limit order was set for 10 cents higher than it should have been (.10 below support) and never filled. 3k gained and lost in my mind. Getting pretty damned good at "not" watching the P&L screen, LOL!!!!! Maybe I can program code that will allow a wav file to let me know I actually entered the trade. Something like "hey dumbass, you're up".
