    Current BE on the 2 short positions is at 1336.25 . Adding one more at 1343.5 and 1346. Looking to exit right at BE if adds don't get filled.

    Good job NIN! Adding wasn't necessary this time, because if you did, you'd be called a "Loser"

    I can't believe you're serious about the big move down. Seriously, What's the catalyst?

    I think it's eudaemon pushing the buy button as we dipped so later on, he can call the traders that scaled their shorts "losers" :p

    A freak move indeed. Good thing I exited before you guys did, otherwise, we'd be fighting each others at the 1315.75 level.

    All your points are quite valid. We don't really know though why he chose 1314 as an entry point for a long term trade, since that is not a safe breakdown point and still within the 6 month broad top that has to resolve either way. Also there are no adverse news to support his bearish stance. We...

    You're also at the mercy of the biggest variable of all when positioning yourself for big moves...volatility. Get that wrong, and you may get stuck right in the loss zone that's between your entry and your stop for quite sometime. It can frustrate even the most seasoned trader. Or the market...

    Well, it went - 37.75 from the profit peak, but just -15 from his entry. However, if he's like most long term traders gunning for at least 2:1 R:R, then his stop is quite justified. Of course, all of us traders like to justify our stops by making our targets at least twice as much before we...

    Gutsy move Volente, but I like that. I hope it works out for you, or we're both going to be on that list, lol.

    Oh, we're gonna rally alright, that's for darn sure. The year end rally in my opinion started at yesterday's low.

    With AAPL's strong move in the AH market due to strong earnings, along with positive expectations that most companies will report better than expected earnings, I believe the down move for tomorrow will be quite limited. Therefore, I'm adjusting my exit point to 1317.75 which would be the entry...

    To add a bit more to ammo's already sound comments regarding averaging; No one knows were the high or low is going to come in. That is why a swing trader must allow a decent amount of room ( measured by the volatility of the market, risk tolerance of the trader,as well as account size) for two...
