DislikedI am out of practice at this losing money stuff - i only lost about $400 overnight but it has ruffled my feathers and I am seeking revenge...
How stupid to trade through news while you are asleep and when you are west coast based ! and to put on a stoploss which is big enough to sting but much more could have been eaten easily enough without endangering the account
I will review my stoploss policy today - the huge moves like the madrid bombing yielded me big bucks but if I had been long , it would have rebounded in 24 hours anyway. Hedging only saves the spread and is self delusional
Yes I will rethink stoplosses totally - I have never had a big loss except through stoplosses and my biggest gains were when i left the thing running 10 days without a stoploss or a t/p and never turned the computer on !
ps cable is out of the daily channel now so why would we rebound from 1.96 when it gets there ?Ignored
