No I was short on a position trade which took me long as it burst thru 1129. This position stuff is for the birds, as I then got taken flat as the SOB went sailing south as soon as it broke 1129. It's like I was saying to Allan. He went long for the day at 1119. The market dipped to 1116. Then ran to 1129.50 and he closed at whatever the close was. So he had no stop. That is risky business. Buy, hold to the close, then sell. No, I don't think so. I may lose on a daytrade but I don't let the trade get away from me......that is too risky.
