Cripes, I lifted my mouse to wipe some crap from underneath, and I bumped a button on the side. It's a gaming computer my kids bought me and has a mouse with too many buttons(apparently). I hear the fill tone, look up and am long 20 ES at 4659. No clue which button I hit, but it bumped my default setting by 4 times, or looks like it clicked off 4, 5 contract trades.
In the second I figured it out, it was a point against me, but immediately popped back up. I bailed with .25 profit. Had I waited a second longer could have had a point, or possibly 8 pts on a quick up move to 67.75, but that would have meant another 1 point of heat first. Also, goes against my rule of if I make a mistake I get out, take a few minutes to settle down, figure out what I screwed up and then move on with the day.
Anyway, that's my couple minutes of resetting, and ready to get back to it, but first changing out to one of my basic 2 button mice.
Peace
