Mate, if i ever run into you on the streets remind me to buy you a beer.

I think i've learned more from this thread about trading in general somehow, than I have from actually trading. It seems I still have a LOT to learn. :)

I never even considered hedging! And, I always thought that higher leverage was better because of a specific way I trade on my other account (don't worry, its a safe method, no more risk than a low-leverage account).

But you have shown me at least one instance where leverage can be a pain. That's really cool.

Also you just made me realise some other things which may actually save my butt in my other account. Hard to explain but would be happy to do so in another more live medium.
