Russel is already in a bear market so seeing it down only 4 points compared to 46 on the NDX doesnt surprise me, the RUSSEL has seen such a drop compared to other indexes in the past year.
wow.......who snuck the hidden cam in Storm/Blackguards trailer? very rare footage form a great fade.
RUT's drop has been much steeper than the other market since this all began. er2 just hit 675, flat from Friday. Sometimes it just feels like the market is out to get you.
I am sure all of us can relate at one time being in a trade and right when you hit the uncle point of max pain and stopped out or were margined called out the market did a 180 and made you look like a fool. Anyone who has ever traded has done it at osme point and time.
wow, this dude could have got all his money back today ! here is the golden rule of trading - never use stop loss orders, always average down..... if the market drops some more, average down again, eventually what went down must come back up !
OP did not have a stop loss. And he got out something like 20 pts from the lows. With the higher overnight margin, it was a bit of surprise that IB did not liquidate. With 10 contracts, no way he could have martingale the position.
