    I have a very tight mental stop loss when I am on the sell side. And I actively manage the trade to make sure it does not walk away from me. Very time consuming and stressful.:(

    For a second, it sounded like you are talking about women.

    Best trading instrument is the one which has sufficient but not exorbitant liquidity and that's complex enough to be a hassle for most players. Something like Thai stocks :)

  6. %%Another problem+ i see your points, with penny stocks, some are liquid on bid /ask, but like the real estate appraiser said ''you mean ze rocket can go down also??''LOL''. Miss River @ flood stage is plenty liquid , but still they shut it down sometimes==too much liquid/danger LOL
    You could;

    NOT.

    back filling meaning price retraces a prior move in the opposite direction. another term to describe sideways/choppy price movement.

    pullback - in TA it means price returns to (or close to), the price from where a downward breakout occurred. Non TA traders often use the term 'pullback' to describe a price correction.

    If you learn to predict when certain stocks are going to drop/rise, you can make good money.
