Added a new 19 flat panel to my trading computer and forgot to disable my execution software. When I looked up, I was short 9 contracts ES that was starting a strong bull rally . Almost as much fun as having your stops gapped over.
Ouch! Strong rallies (bull or bear) are hard to swallow when you're on the wrong side.
