John,
Your first catostrophic stop loss is $3000 or 12 S&P Points? Whew.. that
takes alot of balls to trade that level of
a stop. My inclination is to get it down to two points or so.. no more than
that. I can see you might have to make
a system do this kind of stop loss if you aren't looking at the actual
prices during the day trading it. The
day traders I know who are successful don't have more than a 2 point stop
loss and when in doubt they get out
at 1 or .50 at best. But they are purely discretionary traders that work off
of price and pattern.
