Alastair, it is good to have some rules in your trading and live by them. Using STOPS in my trading is a must, and I can see that your policy towards them is very similar. I am still "tweaking" as far as the STOPS go, but feel so confident when they are in place. While watching Market Depth I would rather say, "looks like my STOP is getting hit", than "Crap, the stock price is going down. I need to rush and put a STOP in". What I could improve on is, instead of putting the last STOP in before I get hit, just selling the stock and taking profit at a pre-determined level. In that way, I won't get enamored by the stock and greedy for more dough.....probably the worst thing I could do. I am also feeling very confident with the TSE. Lately, I have not seen any significant volume on a stock listed on the VSE and ASE that has interested me. Merry Christmas! Regards, Wisam

<On the TSE your stop becomes a market order> TSE also allows stop-limit orders where your stop becomes a limit order and not a market order.
