wrong trade

  1. With TOS it’s important to use the (+) (-) to increase decrease values. I’ve manually entered numbers without hitting the RETURN key. The system doesn’t recognize the new value without hitting RETURN.

    Please. Anyone who's been an active manual trader for 20 years has made mistakes.

    Anyone who's been an active automated trader for far less has made mistakes.

    PS. Anyone that tells you they have never made mistakes is full of shit :)

    I once hit my own stock bid. I entered an order to buy 500 at X. I wanted to enter another order to buy another 500 at the same price. I was using Redi at the time. I found it faster to click on the bid to create the order then switch to buy, as clicking on the bid creates a sell order. I forgot to flip it to buy.

    oops.

  6. I wonder if anybody has bought some "cheap" weekly options on Thursday for a 1-day trade and then finding out on Friday that the market is closed due to the Good Friday holiday.

    Holidays don't fall on a Friday very often.

    no need to read further than this.

    those who cannot trade or admit failure become brokers.
    arguing after facts is ueseless unless introverted.

    trading is still.

    Hah. Nice assumption. I made a good living for 25 years. Are you even 25 years old?
