    Day 7

    short 1 at 1900
    cover 1 at 1866

    Act according to plan (half-half)

    Make a silly mistake today
    Market close at 5.15pm normally I exit my trade at MOC which is between 5.10pm to 5.15pm.
    Silly me playing around with the system putting in a buy order at 1866 and withdraw it and changing it all of a sudden I am filled at 1866 and I was surprise. Filled at 5.02pm so figure do not want to short back since I need to cover in 8 mins time. Market close at 1859.

    Anyway I have top up my account with a bit extra so it could cover the silly mistake I make today. Any idea how to prevent itchy finger.
