Sometimes it's hard to believe in conincidence. Seems more like an evil
conspiricy! For example, I had a signal last night, one of the most
reliable, to go long at yesterday's low limit. I wait a long time for these
signals. (This may sound kind of wimpy to some of you hotshot day traders,
but it works for me.)
Anyway, I fired up the order entry computer (laptop)... and who could
believe it... for the first time ever Leoweb refused to load. Said some
file was missing or corrupt. Something like that. Didn't appear to be much
rush on entering the order (at the moment) so I call up the tech support,
we try a few things that don't work, etc. Sat on hold for a while. Fool
with the computer some more. etc. This went on for about 30-40 minutes.
Meanwhile the market goes down, hits the my limit, goes a little further
down, then reverses and shoots up 20 points or so.
I can see the mistake... I just wasn't prepared for such a stupid
interruption. Got distracted when I should have been picking up the other
phone. But sometimes you gotta wonder about the timing of "random" events.
We know it's a negative-sum game, but it never ceases to amaze me the
endless new ways in which the deck is stacked against you!
By the way I finally rebooted the computer and now Leoweb works fine.
