Not on my copy; On your spread sheet you show a buy on 02/11 and a sell on 4/11 for a gain. On covestor(reality) you show a buy on 29/10 and a sell on 4/11 for a loss.

I asked because there have been no trades recently. Sept had 6 or 7 as did Oct but only 1 in Nov and it closed out an Oct trade. I'll have to admit that the thought had crossed mind, that since you took losses on 3 of the last 4 trades, you might be a bit gun-shy. Patience and discipline...

How do you know which 10% of the time to use them?

What do you do when a trade keeps going against you? It seems that you have a plan where when the trade moves against you a certain amount you add to the trade. If the trade keeps moving against you do you attempt to scalp your way out? Do you reach a point where you just give up and...
