Abe,

One request if I may - can you please turn of the shadowing on your text? It makes it very hard to read. Just uncheck the 'Drop Shadow' box on SnagIt and it should keep that format going forward until you change it again.

No problem.

One idea Abe that just hit me - you *could* take a look at reversing a position when you take a loss. I'm just looking at your previous chart, but had you reversed and gone short on that failed long, you would have had a nice short trade. Again, this would require more testing and such, but just an idea to consider. Sometimes being 'wrong' can turn into being 'right'. ;)

I agree Brownsfan. The thought crossed my mind to reverse the position but I was concerned that I might get into over trading and impulsive trading. I'm also used to logging a trade right after it is finished which allows me to record it more accurately.

Unintentional trade: For some reason there was a buy limit order that did not get canceled so it triggered 2 buys at 13230. Quickly sold them at 13231. +1. +1. I guess I should log this also to make it accurate.

Abe,

When using the OEC software, there are a number of protections on the DOM to avoid this.

 

You can use either of the cancel buttons (each above the bid and ask) or the cancel all, which I use a lot to be safe. So once I am completely out of a trade, I will hit the Cancel All Button to avoid the situation you just described. I would get in the habit now of hitting that button.

On the DOM as well at the bottom are any resting orders as well:

Also, you should be using the main screen on OEC - the part that is separate from the DOM and you can have an Open Orders window up. If you see something there, you can also hit cancel all there as well!

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
