6 fills, 3 longs, 3 shorts, 4 winners, 2 losers, +0.07 average A good one. I am giving another shot at stop losses. Plain stops, no trail. May trail latter. Trigger method, 2 trades. Initial 0.75% and I move it or take profits. It's about 30 cents on a 40$ stock. It seems to give me the mental safety net I was looking for to hold the positions and try to get more profits. I was really prone to big losses in my trading after looking at my P/L distribution. I want to try to avoid them. At the same time it's an insurance against operator glitch. I also want to be less chicken on the news and therefore have more fills but without riding naked. Will test for about a week and see from there. For today it did well, moved one up and got hit properly. No one was shaken out.
5 fills, 3 longs, 2 shorts, 3 winners, 1 flat 1 loser, flat net. All mostly flat. No meat. Stops did well, upped and one was usefull on MO. But I still feel I will be shaken out sometimes. I'll see if I prefer that to riding naked. It sure feel safe though.
7 fills / 3400 shares 7 short / -188.00 had stops too tight...it was a classic failed rally i just didn't wait long enough... oh well...
5 fills, 2 longs, 3 shorts, 3 winners, 2 losers, -0.01 (flat before fees). 1 Stop hitted, usefull, BTU.
6 fills, 5 longs, 1 short, 2 winners, 1 flat, 2 losers, -0.04 average. 1 stop shaken out. Raised other stops, usefull somehow but some reversed after that. I may want to move to trail since it makes a lot of orders to manage. Some just red right off the bat. I seem to have an issue with my limit profits. I modiify them and dont see my order as the NBBO! Will have a look at it tomorow. Lean times.
