  6. On that subject - I seem to recall you throwing in the towel near the very top last year and I also think I recall a comment about life being better afterwards? Would love to hear more on that.

    On luck:

    I've had both bad luck and good luck this week. Monday morning I had a limit order which was 2 ticks from getting filled for a nice profit and it turned into a loss which compounded and turned into a bigger loss. Later this week I had a trailing stop 2 ticks from getting filled before price reversed further in my direction.

    Sometimes luck can be about being in the right place at the right time as well. Most of us ain't around 24/7, so often you can be "lucky" being around when a move is just about to start. Happened earlier this week one day I was working remote from home. Had my biggest single in a long while.

    I lucked out today as well. Just as I took a delayed lunch break I recognized a bottom that was worth buying.

    EDIT: Realized my stop was in the breakout / retracement level, so adjusted it a bit.

    EON Kid and schizo like this.
  7. Maybe I should re-consider trailing stops. LOL. Am I the only one using them?

    Likely to be smaller range / back and forth chop today in advance of NFP Friday.
