Bloody Hell sorry to hear that Peter, and I was pissed off with a measly £40!

The worrying thing is though my trade was a back trade so the most I could lose was the stake, if it was a lay though and there had been enough money in my account it could have been a huge loss.

Mind you I'd have needed over £20,000 in my account!!

All the same its not good that that sort of shit can happen. Its the first time I've seen something like that I think.

Thats a lot to lose; sorry to hear that.
One way of looking at it is that £294 of it will be offset against the PC?

I should make back a big chunk of that I reckon, but maybe not enough to move into profit on the day.

As a positive thinker that's a good way to look at it :)

Thanks to some aggressive trading I'm +ve on the day again now. But I shall refrain from posting the trades because the forum has banned me from doing so. God forbid somebody dares to think they could do the same. ;)

In this case I think there is a bigger learning point from the red screenshot.

I have felt the exchange has been "sticky" so from yesterday cut my stakes back and turned off some automation.

I am happy to limit the upside in the short term.

Why not post both :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

To give you some perspective on my trading and why you see big totals and little to counter them. Other than the freaky -ve by biggest loss elsewhere was £9.18.
