Re: [RT] My impresson is that many had a bad day

To be honest, I was short at 1181 1/2, and had six handles of profit in the 
position at one point. I moved my stop loss order to break even right 
before I left to teach a seminar and managed to miss watching the rocket 
leave the launching pad...but I ALWAYS use stops and always try to 
re-evaluate my risk and box in profits or at least get to break even as 
fast as possible on a position without being too close to the current price 
to be in the "noise" of the market I am trading. And today was one of those 
days when scratching a trade was a pretty darned good thing, since I wasn't 
bullish when I left my trading room and didn't see a low risk area to 
attempt a long.

For those of you interested, there's a more detailed explanation of today's 
trade on my website:

I wish you all good trading.

Best,

Tim Morge
