  2. Where do you put a Stop when you are short and the Market is making all time highs? Any Stop would be at an imaginary level. That should tell you more than anything, your trade direction is bogus. That might be a lot of thing but science it isn't.

    Playing devils advocate here; what if we run 500 points in the next few days without a pull back?

  4. Its just pretend trading, no stop needed. No snap shot of any trades just some typing on a message board trying to act like a trader. If it corrects any they always say the added more and then closed out their position on that pullback, then they slink off.

  8. hey stock,

    i can withstand severe adverse excursions due to proper position sizing. however, i do have a "throw in the towell"level that is way less than 500 points !

    closed out the dollar longs at a loss today. holding profitable DJIA long into friday morning, trailing with wide stops to lock in some profit should it reverse. climbing slowly and cautiously out of the hole......

    best,
