Don't you think stop losses are particularly difficult on options plays? The spreads on many I own are ridiculous.

Does anyone on this thread buy calls, and if so have you discovered a way to put in a stop loss without getting stopped out unnecessarily?

Thanks to all,

Caroline

>>William D Gann Rule #2 Use stop loss orders.

You say set a stop loss 3-5 pts away. Wouldn't it be more in line to do it as a percentage? ie: WLA trades is trading in the $170-$180 range, and CPQ is trading in the $24-$30 range. Clearly a 5 point swing is more likely to occur in the WLA priced stock.

Sorry for not posting a rule, I'm just in a learnig stage.
