Trade 2
Long BIG this stock had a major fall yesterday. See trades for 25th.
And it was running up nicely.
Entry 29.76
Stop 29.65
As it moved up I raised my stop to 20.70 and was stopped out for -.06
This goes to show that losses are a part and parcel of trading. Not all are winners. But the key is to keep losses small and wins big.
