    cashmoney69,

    Trying to understand. Shouldn't one have waited for confirmation after the indecision candle you entered on, and wouldn't you want price over the MAs?

    Can anyone else give their opinion?

    thanks

  6. The candle I bought on was above the 13MA, but yes, I should have had other signals to confirm.

    review:

    This stock is just BS'ing around. I'm not going to tie money up into a stock thats not moving. If it was trending, it'd be a different story.

    review:

    I dont remember where I put stops because Its been so long, and i cancled them more than once as the stock went up. EVERYONE said that the fundamentals on this stock were terrible and they went short...thanks for the 344 dollars! :D . My only concern and major reason for selling is the dow. If it pulls back, i dont wanna give back profit. Still bullish.
