Waiting
After yesterday's sell-off, I've been patiently watching to see what comes next. No trades today but I hit a lot of stops yesterday. No trading system is perfect, and this year has been a tricky one for my system. I'm now sitting on my worst draw-down yet.
How did your list hold up?

Open Trades
While everything else about an open trade is established at entry, the ‘stop loss’ order will be adjusted periodically over the life of a trade. The idea is to move the stops at key price points and let the profitable trades keep running.
Stops adjusted each day are in bold. Only one change yesterday.

Looking for something with a steady growth. I found O and put some in there, but sold it off recently. Hoping it goes back down to get some more.
Also willing to do a little bit of day trading. Something like F from the past. Find a price that it usually hovers around, if it’s below that buy, and sell at the amount.
