Ken, Having the discipline to exit when appropriate...my downfall. It is so psychologically displeasing to admit you were wrong...when the trade goes against you...my natural tendency is to deny what is really happening and hang on, expecting reversal. How many times has the reversal never come to be. Boom, $$$ down the tubes. I marvel at Mark, he sets those stops and lives by the results. Good practice for all of us...and I'm not talking "mental stops"...maybe I'll find a way to start to do the same. Anyway, GainsKeeper, even if not perfect, saved me at least it's value in time saved this year doing my taxes. My daytrading career was only 3 months...amazing how much money you can put at risk in such a short time. The new margin rules took me out of the game...at least for now. Let's try to get healthy in this odd ball market....somehow. I still love the leverage of the penny's.... John
