    No there's not a stop on this particular trade type, max draw down on the trade type is about 6% so one could place a catastrophic stop based on that.

    if you are that nervous just sell it, this is basically where it entered last Friday, minus 10 cents, so you can basically get out now about flat minus lunch or dinner

    guys regarding AAPL or any

    guys regarding AAPL or any of these RVM systems.  Unless you bought on Friday you shouldn't even be in the trade.  Again I think only a few of you probably bought on Friday because you were notified end of day and it was Friday.  AAPL gapped up on Monday, I hope no one chased and bought the higher prices. I didn't buy AAPL on Friday as I said the other day and so I didn't buy it on Mon or Tues etc when it was much higher than the system entry price from Fri.

    With the systems, the trades need to be bought at or near the signal price, or better.  Never ever chase. Had AAPL gone way up this week so be it, I would have let it go.  With the reversion to mean trades you should never chase - so hopefully no one chased the gap up on Monday.  If I miss a trade I miss it and don't worry about, move on.  That's why I made the comment earlier about if you are nervous why don't you sell because assuming you bought on Friday AAPL was trading about 11 cents below Friday's entry, which is peanuts you can get out now for such a minor loss commissions really.  But if you didn't buy on Friday and you chased it buying Monday's $2 gap up or Wed morning prices that were even higher, then you would be down 2 - 3 now, which should never be the case.  Again the point of this message is never chase - if you miss a system trade and it moves too much, pass on it, don't chase it.  Clearly there's some wiggle room, if system trade is at 240 and it's trading 240.2 then fine, but it's it's too far above the system entry do not chase, because it puts you in a risk/reward disadvantage
