>> I thought you were very bullish on DELL? << I am. But the market isn't bullish on much of anything right now. >> If all you are doing is picking up 1/8's and 1/4's and 1/2's on your trades, << My lowest scalp so far has been 3/8, not 1/8's and 1/4's. I have had a couple 1/2 pointers and two 1+ pointers. In a normal market I probably wouldn't even bother with trades less than a 1/2-3/4, but this is a market where you MUST take profits! Everytime I haven't taken a profit in the last few weeks it quickly disappeared! If the market recovers I will lengthen out my trades to 1 point and above. >> then you are taking some very big risk with the amount of money you are playing with! << I am trading stocks that I wouldn't mind holding if they go against me short-term, such as LU is doing now. I would have gotten rid of the other 700 LU shares at a profit too if I wouldn't have been dinking around on this thread! Back to work...
