I did the following trade- demo

buy 0.1m USD/JPY 6pm 23 Jan 2104 GMT [account approx US10,000]
TakeProfit is approx 8 pips

disconnected at 12midnight 23 Jan 2014GMT

got up in the morning - New Zealand standard time
platform still disconnected - i.e. approx 7 hours later
closed platform and reopened

trade still going and losing about US900 [94pips] !!!!!!!!

closed trade manually

Is there anything I should do to protect my losses with respect to disconnections?

p.s.my strategy does NOT have a Stoploss
