Hi John

I am so pissed. I entered a euro trade when all signals were in my favour and thought I'd chance 10 pips as it could have been near the end of a run but it was retracing and I got in after a retracement to sell. I set my stop at 10. VT accepted and then it didn't execute for whatever reason so no stop. The currency wasn't racing anywhere so no reason for it to requote or ignore it. Then sods law the euro went north instead of south and I was at-15.

I tried to get out again. Nooo lets play with Desiree today. It ignored my request a second time to get out and eventually after banging ont he get out button it took me out at negative 31. If it was around an announcement when things go mad it would have made sense but on a regular trade with not much activity it made none. And joy, 10 pips later - it went all the way back down and I would have made a healthy profit. I was trading the smaller time frame so didn't want a stop larger than 10.

There I was consoling Leigh at his two losses yesterday and what do you know I go and do the same today. Now he's consoling me. Feels like a see-saw around here today. Not in the best humour right now. I've closed VT and will try again tomorrow

Have a good evening Desiree
