In the Entertainment business … Some people risk it all to become stars and/or superstars … and some are more business minded and elect to work behind the cameras where the steady work is … less money but continuous … it depends upon ones strategy ….

PS …. The Olive garden sounds nice … more inclined to lien towards a sparking tasty snap in my lettuce and nicely rounded curved firm tomatoes when covered by a mixture of light low-fat creammy blue cheese table dressing ….

<experience traders, professional or amateur, would consider putting stop is the final step of opening a trade.>

Some good traders put in the Stop before they open the trade.

I disagree that the optimal mindset is self-assurance that one will make a killing, but to each his/her own.

Some put 1/2 point, some 1 point, some even goes to the great length of considering 7%...

Some use TA to find a likely support or resistance area and base their stops on that, rather than an arbitrary number of points or a percentage.

Even further, some find the stop FIRST using TA, then decide how many shares they can take based on that risk using an acceptable percentage of account size for a loss.
