i appreciate your honesty! I am surprised as it doesnt seem like you would let a loss get that large..even though in the end it worked out

Let me understand. If you are saying that the position size was negligable, then it makes sense. But if you are saying that your position size was large and 35 points was neglible, it doesn't.
