DislikedStop losses were the major cause of me losing money when I started this. Since I stopped using them I dont make the big losses. The big players 'sweep' the market and trigger the stops and return to where they were.
Al queda playing the market isnt the norm and is a bit too conspiracist for me anyway - most market moves are caused by previously undiscounted events that had not been noticed.
The crash from 2.11 was simply the market 'catching up' with UK fundies that had been apparent to me for months.
The technicals of the market are far from perfect in it's discounting of events because it simply does not know enough.
Why wasn't the sub prime thing discounted while it was building ? because the market either did not know or did not trade it. The fundy was there but the techies were blind.Ignored
