Does the island reversal that kicked off the left side of the cup have
any implications to canslim?  The failed bottoming patterns? (I see a
failed double bottom transforming into a failed inverse head & shoulders
bottom)  That large spinning top the day before the big drop looks a bit
ominous as well.  


I agree with Gene.  One of the purposes of hard stops is to remove
emotions from the equation.

Seems like you are in "hope" mode.  Not a good place to be.

Gene,  I don't see this as a bad thing.  This is
another tuition fee.  I look at it is way, I will make
a lot of mistake.  It is better to make the mistakes
sooner than later (because I use less money now than
later).  I would like to get as much experience and
lesson learn out of this as possible.

On your second sentence, you are saying that I should
put hard stop or stop limit on all my trades?
