Hi jamie,
I read your trades. Can I say that your exit strategy is always looking for a lower high for Long position (higher low for Short of course)?
Great blog. Another good source to learn day trading.
Hi Gav,
Thanks. The lower high is usually my first clue that the stock is going to come into some weakness. I'd rather exit while I still have most of my profit and get back in later if the stock looks well positioned to rally into the close.
