That's why I forget about the trade after it's placed, and the stops are in place. Nothing to worry about if it's a done deal.
I agree, it would be nice to have a fire and forget more position-trader approach however I found I was making > 40% more money using a dynamic stop I devised. Once I knew this worked I found it difficult not to apply it to everything so old school stops became the past. What I often do is pass swing trades past a certain point to my trading assistant who's job is to close the trade as efficiently as possible.
%% OMG, i had more fun daytrading; but much more profit in swing position trading/investing.I believe , knowing the way markets work, Don Bright Daytrading Co had some daytrading millionaires , but that does not help me LOL
update... all three of my swing trades are doing great. ES up 60 points, YM up 600 points , NQ up 130 points. So SO much better than the crazy day trading. I have my stops in place.
