Tues.

1:00pm CDT - 3rd day in a row with a loss in crude system. That happens but today was very frustrating and profits would have been $2000 higher had crude traded down just 1 more cent to 80.96 to fill my limit order. My system does not allow for moving a stop but I did anyways because I knew I would be not be a happy camper if I took a loss after so nearly being filled. But when price didn't move all the way up to stop, I shorted again and later got stopped.

I am fully aware of the argument that I risked 53 cents to make 1 additional cent. But I know that I can find a much greater number of cases where that risk pays off. It boils down to the trailing stop argument, to trail or not to trail...
