JK, I learned a lesson on XYLN...Thanks for your input...What I learned on XYLN was that the neckline was at 15.00 and I did not pay attention to the violation.....Remember I told you that if it moves above 15 we cover...As long as we stayed below that level, all was safe...But once that level was violated, we were to follow our disciplines and cover...I can read stocks well, and tell you buy and sell points, but MY PRIDE has destroyed me on many potential successful trades.....To admit you are wrong, that is tough...I have now decided that I will start putting in buy stops after I enter any position..That way i will be taken out whether my pride wants me to stay or not...REgards, Mark 1.
