5min/1h TrendFollowing on ESTX50, SMI, & GBL

Quote from me1969:

Are you still short 1 GBL? If yes, quite a wide stop loss... :confused:

I am... lost control of it... :(
I am now at >2% loss of my equity on this trade;
will get out soon if it keeps rising.
That's for not believing the charts...
The last part of the rally (40->80) didn't look
convincing to me... dead wrong!

I see. That happens quite easily. Therefore I put at least a money management stop in the market.
Don't let it get out of control, there are so many other opportunities. :)

You are absolutely right.. I have no excuse.

Recipe for disaster.

Do not beat yourself up! You are indeed doing a very fine job.
Now, put a stop in the market (below 118) and I will try not to run against it ;-)
