I just got home from a night out at a restaurant with my 9 year old son. The missus and the 18 month old daughter stayed at home.

In these situations, I like to go out & leave everything running so that when I get back from dinner, I can dive straight in.

So - I sauntered in & walked over to my office area and the first thing I see....

.. BABY TALC ON MY OFFICE CHAIR.... :-0:-0:-0

At this point, I am thinking the worst, so click a key and see this:



Yup - she managed to initiate a short trade on the 6E, where I have a default emergency stop of 20 ticks.

The thing is, the 6E was in a clear uptrend at the time and I can't really understand why she initiated a short at that point.

Bu99er....

Hehe, expensive dinner. I have similar fears of my cat walking on my keyboard and placing trades, so I usually lock my desktop when I leave my office even though I live alone.

I thought you were a dog man, Mike?

Anyway - I shall follow your sage advice - even if it is a bit late. I was going to wire my office chair to the mains but I think the lock will work better.

The cat was my ex-wife's and she left without him. I prefer dogs personally

Wife leaves, cat stays. Seems like a good deal to me.

Still - if you don't like the cat so much - just buy a dog and let nature take its course.

My dogs love to play with the cat. One in particular, Molly, plays all the time with my cat. It is truly something to watch them. When you see a dog running down the hall, with the cat chasing after, it really brings a smile to your face

Then my cat will stand on his two hind legs and swat/punch at Molly's nose, as Molly tries to get in a playful nudge every now and then but is terrified of the cats claws so has huge over-reactions to every move the cat makes...

lol, good times.
