    Just discovered your thread recently and it looks like youre kicking ass so good on ya!

    Just wathed that last SKF trade and yeah.... always painful to 'almost' hit a target then come all the way back.

    Do you have a point that you move your stop up to even pre calculated? Or once it starts coming back heavy do you punch it even to ensure its not a loss?

    It seems that any targets being altered during the trade is pretty intuitive for you (from reading some past posts about moving your profit target lower)


    I am sure we are all curious about any other wacky bets you get into this year so keep us posted on those as well!

    Happy Trading
