No more than 50% of the size if it was made on a breakout. I keep the same stop level as i would have on a breakout move to minimize risk. If eventually it does confirm I will than add to my position. As far as AGP I will wait for this one to confirm. As you have mentioned many times lately, The markets have come a long way in the last 7 or 8 weeks and I think I will just wait for conformation on this one.

POT and USG were listed for day trades for Thursday's session but POT gapped through (no trigger as per my <a href="http://www.thestockbandit.com/day-trading-strategy/" rel="nofollow">day trading strategy</a>) and USG will be covered in the recap video this weekend. I prefer to have the nightly video looking ahead for tomorrow's setups, and cover the trades taken in a recap format. Hope this helps to clarify! Hey Paul, glad to have you here.

Congrats! It's a process and it will continue, but I know how satisfying that can be to put in the work and finally start seeing the results. Thank you for all the kind words and I'm glad my attempts to assist have been helpful. Hang in there! Hey Mark,

I think I am getting somewhere. My account has broken out of a head and shoulders bottom today. I did your combo university course over the Christmas break and read quite a few books before that. I started “practising trading” at the beginning of the year. It’s been very frustrating. Thanks very much for your help along the way and for putting up with me patiently. I have really appreciated the opportunity of bouncing things of someone with experience. You seem to be very patient and also an excellent teacher and guide. You have probably thought of it, but I think you should put all those articles together and publish them, just as they are, without any messing around. “Essays from the Stock Bandit.” I would be one of the first to buy a book. It would save me scrounging around the web site finding them all, and I don’t like reading off a computer really. I do look for them and read them however. It’s the abstract nature of the articles that I really like because that approach gives me the tools and skills to deal with any situation that comes along, and also to develop any style that I wish. Thanks Jeff,

Thanks for the feedback on the video recaps, I appreciate it. To answer you though, this is a really good question (how long to follow the setups). I'd say as long as the pattern is valid, it's still a setup worth considering. My own go-to list may vary from one day to the next, but normally a stock that still acts well will still be on the Bullish Watch, for example, so it's still worth keeping tabs on in case it goes. Congrats on the LIFE trade, excellent work! My aim here is to share my plan with you, put some stocks on your radar, and hopefully empower you to grab more moves like that on your own. Nice job and keep it up - and thanks for sharing it here as well! Hey Pamela!

So long as it's not emotions and confusion causing it and you're taking cues to adjust your stance from the market, that's perfectly alright.
