Divine Intervention +1061$ (50pips on 200k)

Just to make this clear. I don't advise anyone to do anything like what I did last night.

I was in bed and couldn't sleep cos it was so damn hot. Bored with playing yazzy on facebook against myself I decided to try my luck in the biggest, most liquid casino out there: FX

My plan was to take a 100k position short and hold it for 10-20min. However the initial position went against me by 23 pips when I decided to load up some more short. Then it went to up some more. I decided I take a quick nap and hope it would get back to around my b/e in 30min or so.

Well. I went fast to sleep and only woke up 8 hours later. First thing I thought: Oh shit! My position! I looked at the P/L area of the software and instead of finding the ugly 350$ in red I found 1061$ in the black. I closed it of course. 50pip gain on 200k...

Lesson of this: Luck, luck and more luck. Don't try this at home!
