[10:52] {Threei} half lot if sets up
[10:52] {Threei} don't want to get into afternoon trap with too much exposure

[11:15] {magoo} i didn't read it a first..but took call
[11:15] {magoo} hhmmmmmmmmmmmm
[11:19] {dino} hl l lrcx .35
[11:22] {magoo} !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[11:22] {magoo} OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD
[11:23] {magoo} that article was my exact day yesterday...SIGH
[11:25] {dino} wow wbmd
[11:30] {dino} lrcx stop to b/e
[11:36] {magoo} i was being serious vad....could really relate to artcle
[11:36] {dino} to .48
[11:36] {Threei} many do
[11:36] {BillyD} did you become Einstein magoo
[11:36] {Threei} this is one of common issues
[11:37] {dino} think we all can at some time magoo
[11:37] {magoo} especially..i call it "outrunning my loser" by not taking scalp
[11:37] {dino} out lrcx .48, +.13
[11:37] {BillyD} when we think "we know better" than system
[11:37] {magoo} i printed it to read every morning..seriously
[11:38] {dino} l hl ati .17, stop .88
[11:38] {Threei} I am flattered
[11:38] {magoo} your "fatter?"
[11:39] {BillyD} lol
[11:40] {BillyD} Vad, on index type trades when you take the trade and index looks good and then fails......do yous till hold the trade based original stop
[11:41] {BillyD} no matter what index does
[11:41] {Threei} pretty much, yes
[11:41] {Threei} imagine, index drops,
[11:41] {Threei} your stock holds
[11:41] {Threei} what does it tell you?
[11:42] {BillyD} got a winner
[11:42] {BillyD} or good odds
[11:42] {Threei} exactly
[11:42] {BillyD} I have to remember that
[11:42] {Threei} if that happens, you have even better thing on your hands than you went for
[11:42] {Threei} and if not, so what, that was your original stop
[11:43] {BillyD} I tend to tie them too close together
[11:43] {BillyD} u r right
[11:43] {BillyD} again
[11:44] {Threei} it's kind of what one luxury yacht owner said when asked about huge cost of his boat and maintenance
[11:44] {Threei} "nobody buys a boat to save money"
[11:45] {Threei} same thing here - you don't set a stop size to minimize it
[11:45] {Threei} you set it to keep it
[11:45] {Threei} think of it in terms of what determines stop placement
[11:46] {Threei} stop is triggered when the opriginal reason for a trade is no longer valid, right?
[11:46] {Threei} in such case, reason for a trade is:
[11:46] {Threei} - stock following index,
[11:46] {Threei} - index moves up,
[11:46] {Threei} - stock breaks resistance
[11:46] {Threei} now, index reversed on you
