  3. 1 fill, 1 short, small profit
    Could have been better but it was not going down as fast as the S&P so I cut it.
    Played large on the envelope and cancelled a lot.
    No ABT on my list. I would also have get cought unless pre-market indicated some sketchy action.

  7. I've been waiting for that bitch slap in the face. I knew it would come.
    2 fills, 2 short,
    1 winner (+0.07),
    1 loser, on 3 layers obviously (-0.82).
    Lessons learned;
    1- know your stocks (It was a retailler and I should have cut it from the list). It's one I added during the week end.
    2- Accept the loss and cut on the rebound. Would have been -0.15!!! Greed, a.k.a. wishfull thinking.

    It took a lot of OO losses for me to realize that when I sat there "wishing", it 90% of the time just turned into a bigger loser. So whenever I feel myself wishing I know I have to cut it right away (or get out on any rebound) and accept the loss. It's like a sixth sense now :p

    But I'm proud to say that because I got over that stage I rarely have any losing days in the OO anymore.

    Best of luck
