Trading Journal Day 20 - Let's Buy Stock
New Entries
I stopped out of my Silver today and picked a couple new trades to replace. A lot of Gold stocks are pulling back already, so the worst of the carnage is probably over. Will we see new market highs or is this a fool's rally? What do You think?

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.
I didn't move any stops today, although I did find and fix a typo in my EWI stop price shown.

What are you using for gold and silver?
Posted using Partiko Android
SLV for silver and GLD for gold, though depending on where the trend is I do miners instead, like GDX and GDXJ.
