    Dest's keys to physical health

    I don't really know. I'm not sick now, don't take any drugs or supplements, and when I have been sick the Canadian health care system kicks in. My only cost is health care insurance when I spend the winter in Arizona.

    My method works. My account balance does prove that. I'm posting because I'd like to see more trades posted in real time so I'll post mine. I'm not sure what you are objecting to. If you don't get any value out of the thread don't waste your time reading it.

    Yes I'm aware of that. The exercise is to see if doing the exact opposite of a common trading method would be a viable strategy. I doubt most would follow it in real time as the losses will be much larger than the wins

    Just take the hit. One of the drawbacks of a set it and forget it system. I usually have the stop in my plan not in the market but for this exercise I'll use hard stops.

    sandp500trader Challenge: Stock Trades.

    Below is a list of stocks I will trade if they get to the entry price. I will place stop limit orders so that the order will be triggered when the stock trades at or above the entry price. The price I enter at will be limited to ½ % above the entry price to keep me out of gap situations. ( with...

    My Trading Plan for this exercise; I will trade a couple well known trading set ups. A 3 to 5 bar reversal and a hammer pattern. I will look for 1 to 3 risk to reward. I will scan the market EOD for stocks that have made a new swing high then dropped for 3 to 5 days. Entry will be with a...

    sandp500trader Challenge: Stock Trades.

    I’m starting this tread so we can stick with stock trades. The “Opposite You” thread can trade options, forex, futures and whatever. All of that is outside whatever trading expertise I have. I’ll post whatever trades I’ll take before I take them.

    You read it here first!

    Why bother to post at all if you are going to change your positions without notice? Not much credibility here.
