      Ah, the number of times that has happened to me.

      Only out numbered by the times a stop loss has saved my arse, and my account being blown, by my bad trades.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        If you're not using a stoploss, you're not using risk management and will ultimately blow up your account.

            Bloomberg: Goldman Sachs’s $100 Million Trading Days Fell in Third Quarter


            Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the most profitable securities firm in Wall Street history, reaped more than $100 million of trading revenue on 36 days in the third quarter, down from a record 46 in the preceding three months.
            Don't you just hate it when that happens, they must have a bunch of slackers there.

            Over at Zerohedge they have a different perspective.

            When a firm's trading performance challenges not only all preconceptions of realistic trading, but also of statistical distributions, one can merely stand back and watch in awe.
            That site cracks me up.

              I'm hoping for a government bailout.
