Thanks, Rols. I tried to have a quicker dinner than usual 
I actually use ADVFN feed and just use Fins to trade.
By the way, the DOW chap is trying to go up and it's now 7 points away from my stop. There's still one hour to go and I'll leave the stop as it is.

Well, it's now at 11110 and it may not stop there. Could anyone help me with a sentence in English please. What do you mean when you say ''The place has a spring in its step.'' The context is a BBC reporter visiting the headquarters of a party that just won an election.
Thanks much,

It is pointless thinking like this. It's like saying you should have shorted at the open - well you didn't and hindsight is always 20/20 in this business.
You made your trade and stuck to your plan. You might have skipped dinner, got light headed and made a mistake. Credit where credit is due I say and compliments to oneself are a good thing. Regret is a most useless and unnecessary emotion in this instance.

You're absolutely right, rols.
Could have skipped dinner had my missus not been with me
Anyway, I am just learning here and of course there was a bit of regretting as well
Remember I've been in this biz for only three months.
Good trading,

hungvir said:Hi Split,
I am a bit confused here
As I use market price, when it's triggered then I'll definitely be out. It's just a matter of time for Fins to locate the triggered order and sort it out.
I would be very suprised if they don't do the same with 'their quotes' trigger. I assume it's an automatic and computerised process so it's the kind of ''the computer says yes/no'' sort of thing
Good trading,
Hung
Hi Hung,
I try both for exits because I can't make up my mind which is the better. I know that they don't always follow a market spike because I have , sometimes, found myself still in a trade when, if I had had a market stop, I would have been out. I'm not naive enough to believe that they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, though.

On a closer look, it was actually not a double bottom on the RSI (I needed a magnifying glass to spot this ). Rather it's something that resembles an inverted head and shoulder. Anyway, the DOW looks certain to close up a number of points from here.
Anyway, rols' comments really pushed me to prove that I can not only regret but can also trade it right But no, I am not going down the path of proving myself to anyone.

Three months! Well I take my hat off to you. I assumed you were far more advanced. Never regret a winning trade IMO. Every winning trade ups your percentages and more importantly your confidence. The one day as if by magic you will make a trade and KNOW it is a winner before you click the mouse.
All the best
