Don't Do What I Just Did!

I have been trading quite a bit recently on @steem-engine. I honestly just do it for fun and to make some extra tokens and some extra Steem, obviously. Lately, I have been doing rather well, making much more trading then I do blogging.

However, I have been getting really relaxed about my trades and not double-checking them before I send the trade. So obviously, I did something really stupid today, I switched the two numbers in my sell order somehow!?!? I put the price where I was supposed to put the number of tokens I was selling. Luckily it wasn't terribly far off in price. However, I sold more tokens than I wanted to and at a much cheaper price than I wanted, so that sucked pretty bad.

I mean it was only about an 18 Steem loss, so about $4 worth at current prices, but it still sucks! That's about a week of blogging for me, so believe me when I tell you I definitely learned my lesson!

So yeah, this is me reminding you to double or even triple check ALL of your trades, even the smaller ones or else you might be making someone else really fricken happy while making yourself pretty fricken upset! LoL.

Anyhow, be careful while trading & Take Care, my beautiful friends.

Of the countless pitfalls in crypto trading, switching fields was not the one I expected! 😂

You should be mindful of everything you do, and even more so when it comes to moolahs! Glad you didn’t have to pay too heavy a price. Live and learn. 😃

Yeah, it definitely was one of the more stupid mistakes I've made in trading LoL.. I can't believe I even did it to be honest! I am usually really careful about stuff like that so it caught me off gaurd for sure. Like you said though, at least it wasn't too heavy of a price, but it was enough to be a great reminder for me to be more cautious in future trades.. Thanks for the extra tokens ;) It is much appreciated. Take care friend

On Thursday I went to sell stocks BUT pushed the BUY button instead! Ooops! Suddenly I had twice as many shares in a stock that I wanted to sell. So a quick sale of twice as many stocks fortunately NO LOSS but glad I caught it in time as the stock began to tank five minutes later. It happens.

Thanks for telling me that, it actually made me feel a bit better. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who occasionally makes dumb mistakes, LoL. I'm glad you didn't have to take a loss tho, call that a win ;) Take care friend.
