I do. Protective stops are the best.

Just like when your position went in your way and you were actually UP by 20+ pts, you could have put a protective stop at breakeven or +10 pts and you wouldn't be at -25 right now.

Nothing beats leading by example.

So whats all the excitement for? All the days economic data was poor, so a blow off top is not in the cards.

Bidding 29.5 on the 1st fill. Adjusting the other add to 1339.25

Current BE on the 2 short positions is at 1336.25 . Adding one more at 1343.5 and 1346. Looking to exit right at BE if adds don't get filled.

not made anything today, but at least saved myself some money with my new experiment rule of ignoring all short signals that my method generates.
Also, its a T-day which I guess makes it doubly risky.

That's alright. You'll make it right back in no time I'm sure. If announcement regarding the ceiling doesn't materialize today, I think we're locked between 35 and 45 for today.
