TLT - chart discrepancy. Your stockcharts chart shows the July
29 high as 141.42, but TOS and Google Finance say 141.68. It's
enough to make the trendline different such that price clearly
broke the trendline yesterday but then fell back inside again.
I am long in my IRA - do you have any thoughts on where to set
the stop? I don't mind it being a little loose, but I am not sure
that I want to go all the to the lower trendline. It's not a big
enough position to warrant two stops on 1/2 of the position.
Quick reply: Your stop should be determined at the time of entry
based upon your risk tolerances. Price action remains
contained within the pattern (no decisive move as yet under either
scenario). Maybe it stays range bound until Yellen speaks but
it could gap big depending upon what she says...decide if you want
to hold thru such an event.
That's for you to determine based upon your objectives and risk
tolerance since we are not aware of those specific factors and
cannot provide direct investment advice. Hopefully this addresses
your question. I certainly don't view yesterday's move as a
decisive break of any such trendline (it has yet to even take out
the prior highs).

Currently it's at 139.57, 10 cents below yesterday's low. Guess I'll leave it there.
