No, to start with the stop loss was killing me, up to 125 trades, no stop loss, all trades have made money. Also I only short sell. I have found it takes longer on average for the market to go up, and faster for it to go down.
What do you trade? Just a friendly reminder, you need SLs...

Aye, works like charm doesn't it , except on the one occasion that it doesn't - and sure as eggs are eggs, one will arrive and you only need the one. Where's your "cry uncle" point then? 25% of your account? 50%? 100%? or more?
Hi wardtom084,well this thread was posting how many you have in a row, move me up to 220 in a row
Hi wardtom084,
As barjon pointed out - sooner or later you'll take a big hit - one which is likely to erase all of the gains made on the 220 winners and may even wipe out your whole account. When that happens - which it will do sooner or later - will you change your approach and use a stop loss, or do you actually believe that it can't happen to you?
Tim.
one spike in the market will take out a stop loss which will be hard to get back.
What if you were long the Dow a few weeks ago? You just hold it until it comes back?

You may stop them if you want, put me up to 303
