x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	With free equity include profit, you can always load more when it go against you (as long as it did not break the pattern)....  The profit then can be used to offset the stop loss to make it as breakeven or a bit Profit or Loss....

x 0   x 1  Alert Admin	This is an interesting strategy. Reducing 20% holdings whenever price move to your favor. Never thought of that. Thanks for sharing. I usually reduce in 50% holdings when I feel price reach the peak and the rest when trend is over. Recently, STI is quite volatile, so kind of difficult for my strategy to optimize profit. Thanks again. Isolator      ( Date: 21-Jun-2011 17:18) Posted: It is not the counters.... I think if you can try to use the position reduction method and trailing stop, you can preserve profit.... I will  usually  reduce 20% of my position for profit each time it jumps or dive... I may end up only 20% of the  full position riding on profit.... With free equity, I can load more whenever I want....  Anyway, just for my thoughts... alexchia01      ( Date: 21-Jun-2011 17:11) Posted: But cannot blame the market. Blame my poor choice of counters to short. Will improve on this the next round

My profit is reduced more than 50% within 2 days, but mostly in this afternoon. Lucky, I'm fast and still in profit. Most of my bullets have been collected back. Time to prepare for the next round

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Looks like there is a possibility of Reversal here. I'm taking 50% of my profit off the table and exit my non-performing short positions. Must reserve some capital to go Long when the time comes. Right now, 50/50 chance of STI going both ways. Next few days, we'll know.
