You are itchy tonight it seems..
I've been holding back due to not being able to watch as much as I want..that trade today was the first in a while, been missing key times to trade, like tonight after the siesta..that will be the chance to possibly fade any rally.

So I have to share this now that I am clear of the issue..
I did the earlier trade and with FXDD you have to square out and match trades to close it out..so if you SS first you have to match it with a buy close to finish. If you dont close it out then the vig continues and you can get into a mess..
In order to finish/close an order you have to manually select the other side and the system closes...
Well I clicked the wrong thing in the order box and thought I was finished, then I come back later and see I was actually LONG another lot in addition to the lot I closed the SS with..
I had to wait it out well over an hour to get out of the long I had, it went down 30 pips as well, but in the end I grabbed almost another 20 pips positive so I ended up over 50 pips between the two..

That is the worst, I have accidentally hit the "reverse" button when trying to hit the "flatten" button, when trying to get out of a trade 2 or three times.

great ....!!!! Watching people just kill it makes me very happy , this is a tough game ... all the quiet ones that are just watching will come out of the woodwork soon.. You are beating the central banks at thier own game...
That 4 hour chart before you took that trade looked like it wanted to break up , but it was a question of how far down will it go before the up swing ... I am getting stuff done this morning and not much time to look at charts ..but should have followed that move with you ...
