by hindsight I think I went against a downtrend on 5 min chart. but I really thought it would go up. maybe I should have waited for a bit more confirmation.
hello, Banda. I'm so sorry about your loss. I myself know that I'm a newbie trader and I assumed that everybody else also knew about it so it didn't occur to me that sb might actually follow my trade. I thought the extremely small size I used was itself evidence of my cautiousness which could only be resulted from inexperienceness. last night's E/J trade was an experiment of a new idea, I guess you wouldn't have followed me if I had mentioned this before the trade. I feel sorry for your margin call. I'll try to make sure in the future that this won't happen again.
