Yes. Real trading is when you can convince yourself of anything and to ignore your rules and plan. That's the ticket!! Everyone - feel fortunate that you get to watch someone rip their own face off! LIVE! And in person! And probably not with real money.
FIxed plans and rules get decimated in the ever changing market--- one needs to be able to change as the market changes and never get hung up on ego things like "my plans" surf
If I understand it correctly, you just locked in a 240 point loss. That's rather unusual as most people like to lock in a profit and not a loss. But maybe this is part of your money management that I don't quite get. Perhaps you could enlighten us on this ? JP
Yes, I closed the trade, then recieved/deciphed some information that I should get back short, therefore jumped back in short at 15223. surf
not to defend a paper trade...but if you are any kind of trader you know stopping out is part of the game. trying to humiliate him further is like beating a dead horse.
