+$29. FRUSTRATING TRADE! I actually timed the bottom on this one perfectly and the setup was nice after a heavy sell-off. What I should have done was sit, be patient and put my stop in at $4(LOD) risking only a -40 loss. Instead I cut it loose after it didn't move fast enough for my liking. NET LOSS for IMPATIENCE = $210. This stock made a late day run along with other coal stock.

Yeah you're right, just under 4 but when I play the coals its usually for a quick breakout scalp. So my loss risk is very minimal. I don't trust those damn coals for an extended period! Ha

stop shoulda been BELOW 4 of course..not at 4.00 exactly, right?
