Trend Following dying?

  1. You don't exit at targets, you trade toward targets. If your target is broken through you stay with the trade until the chart tells you to exit.

  6. Also, if you don't mind me asking. How in the world do you actually trade, while posting on ET?

  10. Huh? But that doesn't answer my question. I'm confused.... Tell me again, how you manage to concentrate and actually trade, while posting on ET?

    Thanks,

    Jason
