That's always frustrating. Use alarms like Mike says. It will happen many many times again. It's part of trading. Good target, I'd have chosen that for a check up alarm (or target if I'm going to be away) , but I've learnt to not be greedy and ...

Which videos in particular were you checking out? Can you post the links? I'm pretty sure I've looked at all of them, but maybe not.

That would have to be your player. None of the guest videos I've looked at have that problem. Try using another program to play them. If that doesn't work, stop using your laptop in the bathroom.
