Quote from coolweb:
PLAN:
I have broken up my styles into two kinds of trading:
1) Investing
2) Trading
With investing, It is usually with smaller companies, smaller companies have wider spreads, harder to control stops.
With smaller companies , position size has to be 1/2 of normal trading size.
If I see a company I would like to invest in , I would place a position with a 0.3 - 0.4% stop lost.
If I see a company I would like to trade in, I would place a position with a 0.20% stop lost.
The larger the dollar amount of the stock, the better my risk reward ratio is .
What's a stop lost?
