Hmmm that is sad,traders losing money in choppy sideways market is understandable but in strongly trending markets if we lose money,that is not done.

I am sure many here trade as per chart and trends and so they must be making money.

Sorry to hear that Sexy Trader is no more trading... I wish him early comeback and good luck.

Few scenarios here as under :

1) I buy the stock and the market goes into correction.Here I will keep my stops at 25%.

2) I buy the stock,it appreciates by 50,60 or more % and then the market corrects before I see the stock has run its potential then I keep stops at important pivot levels which is at my buy price + 50 % of accumulated gains.So basically 50 % gains belong to me and I can risk the remaining 50 %.But I am happy to re-enter a good growth stock if warranted.

3) Market has gone up very steeply and I get a Sequential or Combo sell signal,I will sell and look for a better entry points.

The above has helped me over the years in my long term investments....stoploss could be deep but we must have stops to protect our wealth.

Da, thanks for the insight. I have a follow-up question, please answer whenever you have time.

Can you explain how one should invest in a year like 2008, or even better how you handled the stock investment at that time. Considering one is sitting on cash after having exited based on your suggestions #2 and/or #3.

Either follow sequential which will indicate market bottoming out or another strategy I find useful is keep a list of growth stocks which you want to buy.As the market goes down,finally at some point it bottoms out.So whenever your stocks make highest closing in last 50 or 100 days, we start buyng that stock.Those stocks eventually go above 200 days high and into a bull market.
