B1S2,
if you want crystal clarity in terms of your movement of stops, you should include date and time on each one of the declarations.

B1, just curious why your stop is 1300.75 now when before it was 1285 ? Had your original stop been 1300.75 then you would still have the full short on and have nearly 30 points more of profit.

It is never too late to join the trend....

So if the market goes 10 points higher from here, than it was useless???

Who cares, just let it move 10 points period so I can play.

Much smaller position here at 10 contracts. Swing trade and not position trade.

The time is stamped on each one, but I do notice that what I need to do is copy and paste each one instead of quoting the first one and copying the rest. Sorry. --Will make it better.

b1s2, why do you trade the ES instead of the big contract? isn't there less slippage in the big contract because the minimum tick is narrower? your account seems to be big enough to trade the big contract.
