Playing & Trading Strategy

One lazy moment meant 5M lost today. Fell asleep real early for once, CET, got up at 00:48 for 2-3 minutes, considered checking the exchange

(this was 15:48 hsx time or 3.48 pm west coast, if you will).  Decided not to bother and went back to bed.

got up at little before 7 am local time here, and see the disaster.

And then I check: When did the news first break? At 3.40 or so, L.A. time, on the movies board.

Had I checked the boards (I always go movies board first) and refreshed, like I considered, I would've reversed positions on two certain major OW losers, and made an extra 2,5 M instead of losing them.

Lesson from "the trading floor": You snooze, you lose..................

A lot of people are taking the same loss on Monday, so, it doesn't hurt so bad. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Aug 16, 05:15

I now notice that I had the wisdom and foresight to hold both Exp & Cops OWs short.. I'd just forgotten that I was riding a long wave on the Facto Aug 16, 07:48
