CMA Trade on Sep 13, 2011 12:38 from WhaleTrades: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

CMA was holding 23.50 but I was impatient and took 23.55 with stop -10c below at 23.45 Guess what, I was 1 ticked out before it popped 40c! These kind of trades make me wonder about market manipulation

Man, totally bottom-ticked. Could have made the argument to get back in immediately when the level actually held...but I think I would had a hard time doing that after an hour and a half of basically no movement.

Oh well - risk management is what it's all about, and you did that!

thanks greg, remind myself over and over to pick only the best levels. had i waited for 23.50 with -10c stop it would have worked!
