Trading Journal Day 33 - Is Silver in Flux?
Silver in Flux?
After discussing silver with @silvertop in the comments a couple of days ago, Silver pulled back on its trend and I was stopped out of EXK. Will it continue or become a good prospective short?

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 today are in bold.
