Correct me if I'm wrong, but your "real-time" updates indicate that you pulled your stop on this just as it hit your stop to the tick then moved...
A few additional thoughts: 1) Targeting liquid stocks with higher prices tends to also help (requires fewer shares obviously) 2) While there...
Understood. I only meant to suggest that a target that is 2x ATR is harder to hit than one that is say 1.4x ATR. Of course, then you need to...
DT3, I personally think your idea is worthwhile to incorporate if it fundamentally makes sense in your brain and it suits your beliefs and...
Lescor, How would you explain best why you had such a large exposure Friday? - A larger number of OPG orders than normal, and then they go...
A few other things to keep in mind: 1) If you have aspirations to trade bigger size and potentially more symbols concurrently at any given...

And how much would this theoretical trader make with a $30k account? $10k? $20k? $30k? $40k? $50k? $60k? $1 mil? And don't reply with . ....
Two points and i'll leave it alone . . . 1) My point of view (backed by empirical evidence) is that everything changes eventually and you have...
Wilt, I shorted BP . . . first time in a long time I put on a sizeable trade based purely on gut instinct. But like many things where the...
