honestly, i don't think it happens as often as you think it does.. my stops are reasonably tight and if i were to give a trailing stop enough room i run the risk of stopping out below my 2:1 target which will mess things up. I was actually remarking today about how my back half trades have been performing terribly in 2011 and i've decided that I will cut back, take full 2:1 trades and paper trade the back halfs until i'm happy with my result.
I actually had an AMT long at 9:37, it was in play with my MHS long which I had split into multiple brackets since I really expected MHS to run.. Since nic stopped us out in MHS i had some orders to clean up so i just started cancelling. I ended up cancelling my AMT bracket (47.79 entry, .59 stop, 48.19 tgt).. I set up the bracket again and next thing I know I've flattened the trade out by accident. out AMT +5c? I hope you're doing well. I'd imagine you're killing CL with all the volatility the earthquake added.. as for the afternoon AMT winner.. I think I had my first order out before geez. I also cancelled and re-sent it 4 more times, glad I did! <img src="http://puddles.humanfund.ca/20110322/amt_orders.png">
