No doubt. And I recognize it sometimes. I try guard against it

Haha. No I can take it. Remember, I was in the business

Giving the stock enough rope to back off and then bounce again.

OMFG! Lol yes, keep moving up the stops

Ok, fair point. I don’t have a process for moving up my stop. Maybe keep it 5% below market? Or maybe that’s too close. I want to be able to give my winners room to run.

I dunno, is that the right way to look at it? My cost is $515 (really $512 on the remaining shares I have after the sale of the 10 at a $30 profit).so my risk is it becomes a break even trade. If it moves higher I’ll keep moving up my stop

entry was 515, so risk was $21. I moved entry up to 512 how do you get 33? I’m pretty much ensuring that The trade doesn’t go from winner to loser. With a profit I feel I can be a little bit looser and give it some more room. Does that not make sense? No next exit target stock has been on a...

Sold 10 shares UNH, @ $546.31, which is 25% of position, hit my target which represented a 2:1 r/r. Raised stop from $494 to $512.00 Still own

LOL OK Stoney, got it….I think. thanks ;-)

Bought XLE @78.66 Building tight base on low volume stop at 74. Initial target $88

Ok, I’ve lurked long enough. Can someone explain to me what this thread is? are these recommendations? Stonedinvestor who are you? (I don’t mean in real life) is this your journal? just looking for some context

And as far as huge capital, why? Why can’t you position size in a similar way as if you were swing traipsing. When you say “trapped for years” to me , that’s investing. Position trading is “trading”, for longer time frames than swing but less than investing. I think I just answered my own...

Hmmmm…. I think you have ;-)

1. FOMO 2. The pure raw need to DO SOMETHING. Serously. yes. I’m a noob.

Every time I I log into ET I tell myself, don’t waste time, just read the threads that might help,you learn how to trade better. Then very often, I run across a thread like this and I just have to read it for pure entertainment LOL. I just can’t stop. It’s like the Seinfeld episode, where an...

BOUGHT 200 shares XLV @ 141.28 Stop at $135 Target (initial ) $155 rationale - broke out of base (not sure if its base or cup , one mans base is another mans cup :) ) Targeting 155 for partial sell (then will re-examine chart) for 2:1 R/R

Why not? TD has the sim account hooked into the market inreal time.

Sim I own it in cash account not trading it long term money

Watchlist stock… USAK. Low valuation, selling seems way overdone. Looks like recession is priced in. But looks like a falling knife here. I’d consider buying it around $13.25, with a tight stop, if it got that low.

I did have a hard stop in. And got filled at 250.11
