Sorry to hear that, man. I had prices gap below my SL before too, sucks when that happens. 112 pips is pretty insane though.

Apparently another earthquake hit Tokyo just about now. Strangely not reported by the major news networks.

2011-03-12 Coming out of the trading week and programming mindset, it just hit me that the comment above comes off as rather mercenary in light of the tragedy and loss of life. One can sometimes get too entrenched in work.Sentiments aside, look for infrastructure plays. Steel and sand probably. Going to hell one trade at a time. Sigh...

2011-03-11 "Black Swan" event, massive 8.9 Richter scale earthquake hits Japan about 3.5 hours back.(0630 GMT) JPY strengthened across the board insanely. Had it happened in trading window, v16 smart SL logic would not have caught it. Test to failure for this. Implement 3rd layer hard SL logic.
