Hey - you're ahead - I forgot to put in stop/limit too . Do you think we should use buy stops?? A rider would not be in the race until his stop hit. Opinions Blygh

I think Buystops should also be used- It is what i actually have in place on MMSI and HOG- (But cash hasn't cleared.-Looks like MMSI is moving well today!)
I like Buy-stops - I use them to ensure that the move is going higher. You're paying a bit of a higher price- but that's a small net cost increase-like an insurance premium - just ensures that the anticipated move occurs. Always use with a limit though!

It's nice to have these options to put in trades the ways you all are presenting and makes it more competitive

It works! But, If you get it figured out to your satisfaction, and want another format challenge- Perhaps a series of video clips-of the horse race LOL!
On Monday - "They're at the gate- They're off! Tuesday, "They're rounding the 1st Bend," Wednesday "They're in the Stretch" Thursday " They're in the final quarter" Friday, And the winner by a photo finish is >>>>> LOL_ !!! Nice move in MMSI. Although GILD disappointed, but the XBI index moved higher. i should own a small position tomorrow! It surpassed my buy-stop today.

SD, did you buy HOG? I was wondering if you would hold it until tomorrow. I don't have the nerve to own a stock when earnings are coming out.

Yes- I was filled today @ $50.81 @ 10:15 am on a move above my buystop I will put the stop just under the recent range $49.81- This was a small tracking position of just 10 shares- while i test things out. Small Risk -even on a disappointment in earnings.. What i am PO'ed about is that I did not get filled on MMSI- I knew that i was waiting on cash to clear to activate the trades-Apparently- i did not change the auto-fill of Day to GTC for MMSI- and i do not own it here as i should have- Nice momentum higher Blygh, i will have to pass on chasing at this level-

I was hoping you got out. I was thinking you had a .20 goal and got in and out yesterday. Looks like HOG is down in the Pre-Market....
