''moving stop to -3'' (bearing in mind my short was from 4379.75) would mean that my stop would be at 4382.75. That price was never hit. It then went down to 4375.75 where i closed the position for +4. When you close a short position at a lower price than where you entered, you make money. I'm not sure whether you're being this stupid on purpose or whether you have a reading comprehension issue, or whether it's maybe a language barrier, but I' don't intend to hold your hand and walk you through every post i make when they couldn't get much simpler, as trading is draining enough for me!
