Looking at JPA reminded me of something I wanted to say....
In this type of trading,if you are disciplined,you really care 2 hoots about the stop losses.Once you get your entry and exit strategies right,you take your stops if hit knowing that you can make multiples of that the next time around.
Fear doesn't rear its ugly head......But Greed absolutely does!
It is Greed that you have to guard against.......1 LOT in JP is equiv to 750 shares.4 lots is 3000.......it is trading at 137.5,stop is 148.Meaning if you take your profits here,you earn +30k.....And your mind tells you take it,we will think of tomorrow when it comes.And then mistakes are made in entry and a huge mess is the result.
Train the mind to look at the Trail Stops.......entry is 165,stop is now at 148,meaning +17pts definitely in the pocket.Meaning +51k is definitely in......don't mentally work out the current price.That's not yours yet.
If you had taken your profits here and there......you miss the big move,and in trying to reenter and stopped,you even lose what little you have made.
Stick to the plan.....Keep the mind at the trail stop.Rejoice in the +17pts you made.Not the value till close today.
