put the trade and forget it

today is a perfect example. Bought SPY at the open and put a stop order, then off see the doctor.

if I were monitoring the trade, probably i'll be in and out for couple of rounds and loss some.

what a nice close now.

Will sell it tomorrow open.

How would that happen if he placed a stop loss? Don't bother responding. We all know you don't have a response.

OCO orders and walking away is a good idea for a lot of traders.

So you're using 5% (loss) stops for swing trading SPY! How did you fare in the last couple of weeks?
