in a sense, i'm holding out for 30-40 cents of potential profit (current price 10135) on my (half) short, but risking a fair amount (say $1.50 dollars) in the process, which perhaps doesn't make sense.
Wondering if i should trail the stop...
reckon there's considerable support at 101ish, but if that is taken out, could mean large falls in the days to come, maybe price goes back to 4 digits.
Not read all of this thread, but to the OP:
You're 18 and are entitled to spread your wings. Continue trading and see how far in the world you can go.
Basic maths is enough for trading. Fast mental arithmetic is really useful.
Carry on trading, and learning and trading. Give yourself...
