    TOTW What's the dumbest trade mistake you ever made?

    When i first started trading i traded some silly exotic commodity, a metal i think, but i hadn't noticed that the spread had widened ridiculously for some reason (from something like the usual 5 to 100)!

    Yes i remember. I contributed from time to time and it was excellent in its day. I would say i found the thread to be a benefit to my trading. I also think i vaguely remember your jokes but the less said about that the better.:D

    Shame about this trade. It did go south but not before it spiked me out with a gravestone on my 15 min chart. I've attached a chart. 'A' screwed me. I took 'B' and it hit for +15 but i decided not to take 'C' because i wasn't convinced which was a mistake because it hit too. Target for that...

    lol...out for -11. I made 5 trades yesterday and finished up 2 pips under for the day but i had my chances - whenever the trade showed a reasonable profit it turned and went the other way. It may be a week for taking modest profits.

    In my head, i'm sure i had a sell signal after it had gone through the trendline but i'm buggered if i can find it now on this chart! :eek: Its a little bit concerning how different companies charts/prices can give trendlines that are just different enough that you might sell on a break or...
