Quoting myself here and just a thought about my error. This is exactly the reason I have automated placing trades as there is the risk of making errors when manually entering them.

This is my routine:
Run IB Trader Workstation
Run Amibroker Exploration, saves trades to a spreadsheet,
Open a secondary spreadsheet which automatically retrieves trades from above spreadsheet, it connects to TWS, calculates entry/exit price and number of stocks to buy.
A button press sends the trades to TWS

Little input and avoids silly errors. Only input is to delete trades that are above my capital. Could probably automate that too but haven't bothered (yet).
