I would like it to tell me (calculate) what the closing price would be for a 2, 2.5, 3 and 5 % loss. It would also be nice if the purchase price could be set as the break even point and also include 2, 2.5, 3 and 5% gains.

    Hope that makes sense. What I am attempting to do is add to my current strategy by utilizing stop loss to minimize the length of time I stay in a losing trade.

    I've also PM'd Tom and asked him if he could add something like that to the forum. I think a lot of people would benefit from such a tool.

    Thanks and I appreciate your response.

    I think I understand...if not, we'll eventually get there.

    Do you use the TSPtalk tracking spreadsheet? Would you prefer these calculations added there, or on a sheet by themselves?

    I do use the tracking spreadsheet. I never really thought of it, but that would be a very convenient place to put them. That way a person could see where they are on a trade and what price they need to be looking at for a stop loss all on one sheet. Great idea!

    Ok, let me get this straight. Oil closes down 0.69, which causes the S&P to close down 31.18 points and the DOW to close down 253.25 points. Uhh right...

    Sometimes I get the feeling that we are merely the pawns in a gigantic Ponzi scheme and that someone we don't even know is raking in the big bucks...

    Sorry kids I guess we're just going to have to cancel Christmas...
