    yeah, thats what stops are for, to prevent catastrophic losses. So far I'm breakeven for the day off two trades, but I'm primarily a swing trader. Was invovled in euro last nite and lost there :/

    Only those who position-size too aggressively. For experienced and adequately-financed traders, getting the direction wrong is not that big a deal. Losses from such trades are built into the expectancy of your system/ method.:)
