    Sooner or later statistics will catch up with you. if you know what I mean :) be careful out there.

    This sort of action (or lack thereof) will clean your clock and whack you out of the market.

    You got very VERY lucky and luck doesn't cut it in this business. TAKE YOUR STOPS...not a shower.

    Michael,

    I left the trade alone (1,500 shares) and took a shower.

    Whew. That's 2 days in a row you've been ridiculously lucky (today's luck prevented a huge loss, yesterday's luck was the humongo pop right when you were going to sell and decided to wait 1 more minute). Forget about riding tradeRX's coattails, you don't need it but I'd sure like to ride yours!

    Be careful, there's a fine line between steel in the bulls and rocks in the head. ;)

    TraderRX,

    You should team up with WAXIE from http://www.trendfund.com
    Both of you call the market perfectly and have
    no humility at all. You guys would be able to kick
    major market ass. And if you guys start your own
    fund, I'd be glad to put all my money in it and
    enjoy life. Please give us some of your realtime
    trades so we can make a few points with you too.

    Keep up the good trading!

    1500 shares down 2 points is a $3000 loss while being up $300 is a good day from what I see. Unless you are right more than 95% of the time you are trading a negative expectancy system.

    Next time just get out the second you can't trade due to a problem. No questions asked.

    How do I go from trading a negative expectancy system to a positive expectancy system?
