For a longer term trader I think it makes perfect sense.
I just wish I had the patience for long term trades, because i really see the opportunities.
Like Monday, the last trade I made before tax season really hit hard, I was short @ 1.3386 with the biggest lot size I've ever made, a fantastic entry point. But as the time went along I put my s/l lower and lower and I finally got stopped out @ 1.3372 for 14 pips gain.
If I would have had my s/l @ b/e and with patience I would have had more than 200 pips.
And my account would have grown...
Because seeing an opportunity to grow an account by 30% and pass on it is beyond me.
And I don't buy the "I'm impatient" argument. Because I'm the most impatient guy I know. But if watching paint dry is the price to pay to grow my account, then so be it.

Crap. I thought for sure I could pull it off.
Yeah it's not really me. It's just a dummy...

I'm know you were busy with tax season. But had this situation come up outside of tax season, would you have taken advantage of it?
And I don't buy the "I'm impatient" argument. Because I'm the most impatient guy I know. But if watching paint dry is the price to pay to grow my account, then so be it.
And maybe I should follow a course in "watching paint dry"?
Do you know a good college for this course? If possible online degree course?

I don't know, time will tell. I hope I learn enough from these situations.
