    Nice exit strategy. "I don't know".

    You sound like a guy who started trading 2 days ago.

    25.00 ?

    30.00 ?

    At what point do you get out? Or will you just ride this wave into oblivion. VN taught you well.

    this price drivers system is so subjective. just seems like random guessing and then praying the trade works.

  3. Exits are subjective. Price driver remains short JCP.

    Nice action on the weekly but could be construed as a rising wedge ~ instant poof, with the right trigger

    Basically that's what he's doing. Very random trades as he both buys things into free fall (KCG), then in this case, shorts them.

    It's rather laughable to have someone come on here , give out a trade, then have no idea when to get out. Rookie stuff.

    At least those gurus/clowns who sell their trade signals in chat rooms have an exit strategy.

    JCP spent the first half of 2012 in freefall, then spent the past month exploding to the upside.

    Based on the chart, if a trend persisted more than a couple months, it remained in effect for half a year.

    The reaction of price to the latest news was very bullish.....

    i gather he admits to holding trades too long in the past. a logical person would put a system in place to make sure that this vice is taken care of. sounds like surf is trading something called price drivers that still allows him to hold as long as he'd like.
