I've got stop-setting down to a science, actually. It did take a long time to realize the crucial variable, though, and I ain't tellin'. One of...
Who needs stops when you're selling vaporware? This thread is the exact same run-around as the last one. Hard to believe it's still open, actually.
I agree. If your trading method is built to suit your personality, it should include consideration of timeframe and how frequently you want to...
