  2. Thanks for your interest Smallstops, I appreciate all feedback and dialogue.
    1) yes, my second trade from yesterday was a good entry which resulted in a loss.
    2) my plan is pretty simple allready. I only add to winners
    3) eh? yes, trendtrading
    no, up trends and downtrends
    4) perhaps there is, I always think I'm a machine though :)

  7. i made some money, but it wasn't perfect trading
    perfect trading would have been the entry at 78.07
    leave the 77.78 stop untill after the first pullback and then the add at .12
    then move the stop to 78.00

    then i would be still in 200 shares

    disadvantage is: wide stops
    and letting winners turn into losers
    both things i that i dislike
