2005 will be my 18th year of trading. I've had medium years, good years and some fantastic years. If you write down your own rules and STICK to them you should never have a bad year.
Tight, stop losses (used ruthlessly) work.
Trailing stop losses when sp hits profit work too, you can lock profits in and let your broker take you out for a while if things look tricky.
Happy New Year to you all, long or short. I've had much fun on this JRVS bb, there are some very knowledgeable and amusing people here. See you 8am 4.1.05.
