I need to be careful

I screwed up my vlo play. VLO was nicely up by more than 2$ when I was trying to close the call I had bought(a couple of days back) for some profit. I thought I had placed the order but apparently I hadn't gone past the preview order. Now, VLO has retraced and I am back at break-even. This sucks. I really really to double check my orders.

Yeah, be careful bro. I don't relax until I see the order has been executed.

Hope you made some good $$$ on FTO and XTO.

Thanks BD. Yes I am certainly going to be more careful next time onwards.
I made $60 each on both XTO and FTO.
Not bad for investment of $250 each.
In retrospect - had I held, I would have made more than $160 on each. But, I just wanted to lock in the profit.
