  3. well, that was just bullshit, you were probably the only bid out there

    when it gets down here, nothing is going to happen until they hit every stop, both long or short

  4. Well, I would be stopped 3 min later anyway, I learned the hard way to not move stops

  5. maybe so, but it was a very dangerous time to put anything on, long or short, with tight stops

  7. there are times when it is just going to bounce around until it hits every stop

    ok for us position traders

    but bad for you who use tight stops

    Not that one is better than the other

    You are doing much better than me so far in November
