Nope.  I hit 'Buy' and I meant it.

And here I thought I was the only one who thought mtgox's most important feature on the website
was rather clumsy and prone to mistakes. Stupid tabs to sell or buy. Too easy to make a mistake.
Or maybe I am teh dumb.

lucky mistake, how much are you up from that so far?

I haven't done it on Gox, but have got the BTC quantity & price muddled up on Bitcoinica when setting limit sells up resulting in a random amount doing that, luckily it was minor - it could have been major though I do tend to extra double check those & not make them too drunk

I would like the green & red highlights on Gox for the boxes though & it showing in the total amount box too or something when selected
