    It seems I had an uncancelled bracket order hanging open in the market when news hit.

    I thank my lucky starts for quick reflexes and the fact that the market let me out with more than double my typical target.

    I think I am done for the day. I heard the "stop filled" as the bar blew up and my heart is still booming from the adrenaline hit.

    I don't want to post the chart as the trade was not at all according to my plan. The prop firm warned me when I signed up that Tradovate will do this from time to time (fail to cancel an unfilled bracket order, or even fail to cancel one side of the bracket) and that I should always hit "exit all and cancel" but I forgot to do so at some point.

    Here is the closed profit for the day. I take no credit for it.

  7. We need some good luck, too, @flash crash. Enough bad luck in this game. LOL. :)

    Market's in a tricky spot now, IMO, and it's an early day. Personally, I wouldn't enter anything here unless I "had to". Probably no trading for me until Monday.

  8. I think @theapprentice once said, "When in doubt, go long.", so maybe that. :)
