That's where you and MJ differ. TIME!!. MJ had a time stop in place. The game ends; you win or lose; accept your loss and wait for the start of the next game. If MJ did nothing the game still ends. If you do nothing the game continues. Only you can end the game! (I suppose your broker will...

Ya got to remember that even when MJ failed someone else gave him a pay check. Whether he made the game winning shot or not didn't affect the amount of money he made. Who is going to pay you when you fail????

I get a much better sleep when I have a stop in place.

FWIW; I would like to see the quotes of a blocked poster when someone else replys to a post. It gives the response some context. If I had overnight on ignore then Noah's post (#6) wouldn't make much sense. Seeing the quote makes it very clear.

Nefarious .:sneaky:.. LOL.:banghead:. Meaning: wicked or criminal.:rolleyes: You got me!! :sneaky: I'll try one more time. I don't want to know or care about the dollar value of your trades. I don't need to know the number of shares you trade. The kind of numbers I'm interested in is how much...

[QUOTE="margin_gamble, post: 5647907, member: 534060"] Give it a rest with trying to box me into your framework of trading. It won't work. OK I'll leave you alone. Just trying to get some context. Ride that trend!!!!

I don't care what your position size is. What I'm trying to figure out is your method of determining how much. I used 100 shares because its easy to figure. (like %) So if your initial size was 100, how big is your add on

Damned if I know. Maybe they lied to us. I'm looking for an opportunity to trade bitcoin. Being able to trade 24/7 looks to be a critetia I would want. I was surprised at the fees involved when I looked into where I might open a crypto account. It doesn't look like those trading crypto from...

How do you position size these add ons? IE: If your initial position size was 100 shares how big is your add on?

Nope

Don't know, I'll check.

There are trading commissions, deposit fees, withdrawal fees and the spread. If one is planning on moving bitcoin to a cold wallet then there are fee's for that. Depends on the exchange you use.

Can't trade ETFs when the stock market is closed or over the weekend.

I gotcha!! It's the way I trade. Pyramid as the trend moves in your favor. I just respect my stops. Take a quick loss then reassess. No law says you can't jump back in with a better entry.

Anyone trading btc from Canada? What exchange are you using? What fee's are you paying? Are you moving your btc to a cold wallet? Any fee's involved? Looking around I was disappointed to find a fee or a spread of around 1.5% for buying and selling. 3% per round trip is hard to overcome if you...

Well with your first stop of $314.63 you were risking $0.97 per share With your stop at $319.13 you are now risking $5.47 per share Looks to me like your risk has increased over 500%

Have I got this sequence of events correct? Friday you started a short position in QQQ at 313.66 Tight stop at 314.63. An hour later you decided to ignore that stop. This morning you had a cast in stone stop at 316.55 15 minues later you uncast it. Now at the end of the day the stop is moved...

If I need a certain amount of money on a certain date in the future, I'd just as soon have that in cash. I know that fiat depreciates over time. It's why I speculate. I move from cash to assets that are increasing in value as opportunities present themselves. I don't hold assets that are...

I'm keeping an eye on it. I'm a momentum speculator, I don't usually take a long position under the 200 ma. TLSA might close above it today. We'll see.

What I don't understand is the thinking when it comes to moving or rather removing a stop. At some point in time the stop was chosen as a point where the market would prove you wrong. Posting in real time possibly fires up the ego and makes you want to be right. Moving a stop shows that being...
