Impressive Bill. A 100% KHT when it never even covers your spread. Well done for owning up.

In the spirit of honesty, I had taken CADJPY short yesterday. Entered my SL at 7340, saw the chart price go through it so quit for the day. Logged in today to see I had entered the SL at 7740 (I hadn't even been drinking!) and my trade had been rolled over. Having taken the -60 on the rollover I was down another -40. I then watched it move into postive territory for the rollover price, got greedy thinking, ha I'll get you back you buggar, to see it slip back to -40 again. Bill told me to wise up and cut it, so set my limit at rollover price and eventually sneaked out BE and -60 overall.

There are so many ways to slip up in this game. In the past I've bought when I meant to sell, and have traded USDJPY looking at a USDCHF chart. This was a new one though. So I'll be checking my accounts for open positions and orders to open before shutting down.
