This is a big issue in my view....
1. Cherry Pick the best trades, trying to avoid potential loss situations, or
2. Trade EVERYTHING reasonable and let stops control losses.
If you're thinking "#1" the market is pretty good at leaving you in the dust.
If you're thinking "#2", you will sometimes get wrung through the Veg-O-Matic when you'd have been better off to just sit on your hands.
I think you have to play this by ear. Both are good and bad at times.

I remember hitting "300" posts... a significant number to a professional bowler, you know.
Now at 5000, perhaps I've said too much.

Never, not possible (laugh)
That said, may I respectfully ask why you've been posting almost non-stop for more than twelve hours straight?
I'm here at the desk due to a kick-(butt) headcold that won't let me sleep, or do much of anything other than look at dead charts while blowing my nose.
Here's hoping you just feel energetic today while the spirit came over you in good stead![]()
