3rd Leg Trading

[Myself °¿°]

I don't know what you mean when you talk about buying both sides...
I'm not
I flipped south last week held it way under water sold with small gains
20:20 hindsight: I should have just held short

Going long, was thinking it would hold and I was lucky to get my short gains
and then I added north at the gap thinking thinking next day DEMAND Cash$ would keep it propped up.
It didn't.
So then I tried to salvage or scramble some of the losses back on an intraday bounce.
It did
but I didn't have a sell order in when the pc froze up on me

I'm not trading both sides at the same time. Are you talking about futures traders?
