Dont worry, I didn't think you were trying to impose your style on to me
And Well done on your trade![]()
I sometimes think of stops like a Golf handicap (not that i've ever held a gold club!)
The good players have a low handicap.
Good traders can have tight stops, as their entries are so good.
Rookies like me might need a bit more breathing room, lol.
I dont know. Like I say, nothing is set in stone and im always looking to alter and adapt things in the hope of improvement so I take your comments on board, as I do any traders who post their trades in realtime and aren't complete nut bars.

Stops are gamed by HFT. I understand a hard line in the sand but trying to do them on an intraday basis will slowly but surely chop one up. Trade reasonable size with a reasonable account size and you won't have to use them.

Great trade.
I somehow messed up my calculations, so I had not updated my 50% level correctly, but that is exactly where we bounced.
Did you play the bounce off there or was it another trigger?
