o,ok. No biggie. so the position is only 150 times bigger than it should be. Like you trading 150,000 shares instead of 1,000. Try hedging that <i>after</i> you put on the monster position.
That reminds me. Didn't the FTSE have a konnipshun early one morning this past week, on an error like this? Anyway, I noticed most of my trades getting taken yesterday and the day before. Some days the floor just seems to turn the NX feature off. Yesterday's sell off was relentless. It wasn't isolated to 3:45 or whatever. Wonder if they were selling all afternoon.
I was in HD long and bailed when the first indications of the market tanking, just after 3:00. I bailed at $25.45 and it dropped all the way to $24.50 just before close. It dropped .50 in 1 minute!
