It's one of the biggest benefits of having this Blog.<BR/><BR/>Btw, I'm at my hotel in Geneva reading Reminiscences; awesome book! I can't believe I've had this book for YEARS and didn't start reading it till now. I'm going to read it, and re-read it.E-Mini Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254731622932971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-13546186193382787542009-03-30T18:12:00.000-05:002009-03-30T18:12:00.000-05:00I was just giving you a hard time, man.

However sometimes those pullbacks are actually trend reversals and that's when I get in trouble. Anyway, you know what you are doing but I still had to take a jab at you because I'm a jerk like that!Stanhttp://www.tradetolast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-21240114832871997712009-03-28T13:36:00.000-05:002009-03-28T13:36:00.000-05:00Hi Stan, you're absolutely right, I should not...Hi Stan, you're absolutely right, I should not have added to the losing position. On the positive side, I had a hard stop-loss level on the entire position, the trade was in direction of trend, and I added to it when it moved in my favor as well. <BR/><BR/>But I understand your point; I should follow what I preach, and this is the first time in months that I've added to a losing position. I actually wanted to mark up the charts and analyze that specific trade to see how the P&L would have looked if I just exited the position with a 2-point stop-loss and re-entered at a lower price but I still haven't packed so might not be able to get to that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for keeping me honest :)E-Mini Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254731622932971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-87154935131981733162009-03-28T13:02:00.000-05:002009-03-28T13:02:00.000-05:00Enjoy your trip - it sounds like a good time!

Hopefully I'll still be around by the time you get back! :)<BR/><BR/>Your trading is looking stellar so hopefully this two week break will make you even better.<BR/><BR/>However I am disappointed to see you, of all people, adding to a losing position! I can hear you cautioning me over and over again for doing the same thing! I expect more out of you. :)<BR/><BR/>Lates.Stanhttp://www.tradetolast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-57152814050255242082009-03-27T14:10:00.000-05:002009-03-27T14:10:00.000-05:00Thanks Michael!Thanks Michael!E-Mini Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254731622932971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-12261006745422797162009-03-27T14:03:00.000-05:002009-03-27T14:03:00.000-05:00Dubai,you lucky dog, I'd really like to see that p...Dubai,you lucky dog, I'd really like to see that place, looks like a cool place to visit.<BR/><BR/>Have a good trip!!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12820356330478517307noreply@blogger.com
