I know you know this--- That's why my stop is above that.
By the way, I am still holding the "fun trade" short that I made (2 contract short at 1404)
Makes up for those fun trades that got puked for double digit stops in the past.
Quote from Buy1Sell2:
Of trading account balance yes. However, I think the time has come to clear up my exact entry short because the numbers are throwing everyone off and I want you to understand what my stop loss is in actuality. --As you know I had not been posting regularly for a while and as such I had not been posting real time trades. I don't like that when people don't post real time so I chose to announce that I was short when the hourly chart went negative and I sold at at 1416.75. I will reveal here now though, so as to clear the water, that my entry short was on 12/27 at 1488.50. I didn't want to reveal this because I think it is disingenuous to post non real time, but right now I need to bring it up because everyone is having difficulty with the 100 point stop out. The stop started at 28.5 pts. I hope that clears things up. For purposes of calculating gain on this trade though, let's use the 1416.75 number because that is where I posted real time. --
Could you please clarify this position. Thanks.
