CCME - Fat fingered earlier this morning and got another 2K shares at an average price of 14.88.

I made a mistake this morning. I was set up a GTC order for the shares I added two days ago. Instead of SELL, I mistakenly put in a BUY order with a limit price of $25. Thanks god that Schwab converted it into a market order, otherwise I would be $20K in red immediately on this trade and have to wait for 2-3 weeks for it to break even.

I know that I shouldn't drink coffee and trade with one-click at the same time, but on the other hand, I am actually happy with this trade. Now I need to set up another GTC SELL order, should I put the limited price at $25, or $35?
