Your problem is that you did not repurchase when it went back =
through your
stop loss point! Many investors and/or traders fail this basic =
test.

Subject: [CANSLIM] DFXI again
Bought DFXI on 3/28 breakout. Sold for loss on 4/4. Sat back and =
watched the
stock surge higher, now hitting new highs on volume. Kicking myself =
for
following CANSLIM rules.
I know WON says this will happen but nevertheless it is =
discouraging. It's
happened many times to me already. Each time it makes me want to =
throw
CANSLIM out the window.
I'm trying to ignore my emotions and do a constructive post-mortem. =
Did I
buy wrong? I don't think so -- it was a nice cup-handle breakout and =
I
bought within 5% of the pivot. Did I bail too soon? Maybe. I know =
you're
supposed to cut losses at 8% period. But in this case on 4/4 it =
dropped
below 8% only intraday, then it surged to recover above the pivot.
In reviewing past similar trades, intraday activity has often been =
the
cause. Many times a stock will shake out intraday only to recover =
before the
day is done.
So I wonder, should the 8% sell rule be applied on closing prices =
only? In
this case, if I waited until the end of trading on 4/4, I'd still be =
in DFXI
and enjoying the ride.
Or maybe, should you simply ignore the first hour or two of trading =
during
the day? It seems to me in many cases, early trading is very =
volatile and
it's probably best to just sit on the sidelines until after lunch.
