You know what..you must be dense or something..or maybe you didn't read my post...or didn't understand it..

I traded the nq's with only one or two contracts for nine months before I started using more leverage.. In that nine month period, the largest slippage on a stop I ever experienced even in "fast markets" was a one point slippage..and out of thousands of trades I only lost on slippage on maybe half of one percent of those trades.

I took a forty point loss on a stop due to slippage and all I'm trying to do is offer the experience out there so that other traders can understand what happened and can maybe understand the risks bettter..

granted, I made a mistake, and I paid for it. If I'm supposed to go hide under a bush and not talk about it, then I think you misunderstand the purpose of Silicon Investor.

I think this place is called StockTalk so that we can talk about stocks and markets and wins and losses.

why don't you try to be a little less condescending..

I think you're being a jerk.. I had a bad experience, I was upset by it.. I've complained, and shared my experience to try to get a better idea of what happened and to try to get some input from more experienced people.

When people like you simply tell me to stop whining, I don't consider that valuable input..I consider it jerky..

thanks for nothing jerky boy.
