Even if you were R100k up I would have closed it, because as you said, you "accidentally" opened it and do not know what it is or how it works.  IMO and from my limited experience, that is not the way you want to trade.  First start small and familiarize yourself.

 

But yeah, that is just my 2c.  Looking at things, you might hold it and end up with a profit, but still - you do not know what you are doing at the moment and than in itself is more dangerous I think.

Thanks AJS. Just started with it and the not know  that 1 pip = R50. Thanks

Just remember
Cash R50 per pip. R5000 per 100 pips. R50000 per 1000 pips.
Mini R10 per pip. R1000 per 100pips. R10000 per 1000 pips.
Micro R2 per pip. R200 per 100pips. R2000 per 1000pips.

If you just started IG will let you take 1 Micros for now but in a week min will be 2 micros at a time, so double that break down.
And learn as much as you can. Take AJS comment serious

Thanks so much guys.

Those cash are wild if you have a small Acc rather close remember it's R50 for every pip it moves. Market will come down but may be choppy.

is filling the gap on 46300ish (T40 Futures) not more likely tomorrow if S&P500 dont swing lower tonite?

 

I mean day after their labor day is up 12 of last 18 times and even just a marginal higher than the last 2005 shld give bears some cause for short cover then perhaps the much needed pullback just to cool off (not the implosion we expect on ours!) - so I will short on any reversing from that 46300ish gap close area, probably tomorrow
