<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.> 

Most of them are like you say, but I have a friend who is a 
swing/daytrader that held short for a 20 pt loss of $354,000 on a 
few large contracts before he folded last summer. He still had an up 
week, but that took a bit of a bite out of it.  One time he held for 
a 60 pt loss on a few contracts. It took him several months to 
recover. He usualy saves a lot of money on stop losses. He almost 
always can get out break even, but as you see, not always. LOL
