Well, that's a tough one. Ummmm, well, I guess I would refer to my previous post where I point out that I only have 1 open position @ a time. I keep a tight(.15-.25) mental stop in place--depending on the price of the stock. And I take what the market gives. If the beast gives 50 cents--great! If it won't give a nickle, well that is its nature--I'm not going to fight him. I know this is all too vague, but it reveals a lot without saying too much. Every trader--as M-T points out--must make their own decisions and become independent to be successful. Please don't take this the wrong way. By no means am I promoting M-T--I hate paying every month, but I've learn true discipline and concentration since being there. I can now filter out all the noise from the market and focus on making successful trades.
