    Adjusting your stop based on volatility

    Well, I use ATR for 2 things. 1 is using it to set my stops and position size. If the 20 day ATR on a stock is 3 points, and my stop is always 1/2 an ATR for every stock and I want to risk 2% of a 100K account, I would take x amount of shares based on those parameters. I also use an...

    CAL this morning. guy stepped price up 4 points

    I was involved in a few other trades at that moment and my mind was incredibly slow from the lack of sleep. It just popped up on my radar so I switched to it. It was running up like crazy and final print at 14.30ish and next print was at 10 something so there wasn't a safe opportunity to short...
