SAP was definitely stubborn. The fact that AAP wasn't an ideal entry was the reason I was being so careful with my exit. My first stop out was a result of my 'trading not to lose' mentality. I was already down from SAP so I was really looking to make back losses. In fact, yesterday's OSIP trade also presented an opportunity for me to make back all my losses by I didn't take it and ended the day red. <BR/>Sometimes I just want to get back to the drawing board and wait for the next day.OONR7https://www.blogger.com/profile/17622886234639917711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325562478910773152.post-72421384867298353202008-10-07T20:32:00.000-04:002008-10-07T20:32:00.000-04:00PMs & PM miners were up early.

SA...hello oonr7.<BR/>Thanks for your comment on my blog. <BR/><BR/>SAP (imo)is very tough to trade. I have been stopped out on it a few times. It can be wild, despite setting up for gap down trades. Today I couldn't see a good enough entry on the 15min so I'm glad I left it alone.<BR/><BR/>AAP > Just wondering if the 1st bar had any effect on your thinking ? I decided to leave it after that one. But your trades were fine. I'm not critising, but the $30 level would have kept me in. After entry, it didn't close above that level ?TraderAmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729865782745541361noreply@blogger.com
