Re: RealMoneyIssues' Account Talk
Yeah, love that 10 min candle that took out my stop... go figure, happens nearly every time... but who has time for a mental stop, work must be done.Originally Posted by Tsunami
And RMI was stopped out with a 13% gain...which is the exact same gain I got on a QQQ calls trade today....hmm, speaking of 13's, there sure are a lot of them here!
Oh, and who would have thought TNA would gain 13% just today, left 2.5-3% on the table... maybe it will drop tomorrow and I will be vindicated...
sorry folks

Re: RealMoneyIssues' Account Talk
IMHO, it rose up pretty fast, would expect a consolidation at some point. BTK is a huge anchor dragging down the NAZ today and that's as good a point as any to start consolidation before a another leg higher. Reminds me why I have bond mutual funds in the portfolio.

Must
Remember
To Set
Trailing
Stop....
I hate it when I lose 10% gains just because I didn't set a stop. Since I have a real job, I can't use mental stops...
I hope I remember this next time
(looks like I might go from up 10% to down 5%, stupid day trading rules)

Re: RealMoneyIssues' Account Talk
Ok, sounds good (not that I condone it). I'll be researching whether the system can benefit from a trailing stop (or other type of stop) after I finish determining the best parameters.
EDIT: Added parenthetical phrases.
