Learn to write english first...then i can invite you to my office in Hong Kong and we both will sit for a cup of coffee.....then i will explain why I use stop loss when I'm in profit.

anyone going long Cbl....?
WARNING....!!!!....I DONT USE STOP LOSS....I HEDGE...!!!

OK, then how about this version:

Your signature says Warning I dont use stop loss I hedge.

Then why the warning to us. What do we have to be warned about. And why do you show stop(s) in you previous posts. The point of a hedge is to not need a stop loss. They adjust their hedge, if need be.

My english is understood by everyone I know here in the US not Hong Kong. Maybe it gets lost in the translation through the net. You know, kind of like someone giving a warning to others about how they trade??????

I was reading an article earlier and found a reference about the VIX index. According to the author of the article this index reflects the sentiment of the markets. Itīs based on the SP 500 but analist extrapolate its readings to other markets. when the index is below 15 the markets are calm and running smoothly but when is above 20 volatility increase and fear drives the markets.

The point is for the first time this year this index is above 20.

Anybody follows this index or has more info about it??

I suggest you get out now because you obviously have no idea what you're doing and will inevitably lose money. If you can't even identify a trend, the very basic of market analysis, you need to do some reading before you consider opening another position.

The VIX index was changed how it is calculated about 4 years ago. So a lot of ways traders used it historical no longer apply.

Here's something also from Wikipedia:

Often, when commentators discuss the option markets, the VIX is used to represent overall sentiment for equity options. However, to many practitioners, the relationship of the VIX to individual equity options can be easily overstated. It often appears that different dynamics drive the volatility of index options compared to that of equity options, and the two can often be uncorrelated. In particular, the VIX is limited to a 30-day period, while for most non-index equity options, the most liquidity is usually found in the 2 to 6-month maturities. In addition, volatility is often a function of market sector. For instance, volatility is usually assumed to be high in technology stocks, and low in utility stocks. Using a single number such as the VIX to represent the volatility for all equity options is usually overly simplistic.

Today I also misjudged cable and went short in cable and my SL was reached 2 hours ago. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose just dont let losses kill your account. When enterin you have to know where you SL is couse even if you win that time eventualy you will experience mother of all losses.

Dont sell or buy more just exit and wait for better oportunity in comming days....

Lol- Can't what? read more about the markets, identify a trend or close a position? If you are profitable take some pips off the table.Close half & move your stop. An unrealized profit IS NOT A PROFIT until it's in your bank account.
