I did not think for a minute that the losses were caused by the insider trading. Surely no one can be that naive. In fact my stop loss kicked to reduce my losses. There was nothing wrong with it as it did what it was supposed to do.

It would seem that most people on the board really want to point out peoples errors and get excited at peoples failures.

Trendie that was the word I was looking for.....If I didn't know what I was doing, I guarantee that some of the guys on this site would have pointed me in the direction of making substantial losses and then probably told me I was a complete idiot for following their advice whilst laughing.

There was certainly no constructive feedback on this.......like you may want to expand your stop loss during volatile periods, you may want to reduce the risk so that during volatile periods you wont need to close the position earlier and can sustain some losses.......the trade was correct but unfortunate that you got closed out during the volatility with the stop loss.

No...........it was you are wrong. you got wrong..you dont know what you are doing....we all do.

It's better newbies dont come here for any advice...unless their willing to ignore 80% of it or have very thick skins.

Just as an aside, I would have thought a major pre-requisite of learning to trade was having a thick skin??

God forbid it might actually be a CONVERGENCE of factors rather than just one. That wouldn't go down well with the 'we want all our information in soundbite size' crowd would it now.

Still looking for excuses.

If you want I can tell you that it was a great position and I'm very sorry it went wrong for you and that this time the nasty markets really were unfair.

Point being it was a big number and you got caught, I don't really care for the details of your trade but perhaps you ought to look at why you were willing to run this position over a number that was widely rumoured to be a market mover.
