Similar experience. Giving the trade more room doesn't
seem to matter.
I generally trade stocks priced under $20.00. I find stops to be
quite helpful when price moves quickly, either higher (protects
profits) or lower (keeps loss to a minimum), but when price drips
lower and approaches technical support, I seem to always be taken
out
at the bottom. Placing my stop either
just below, 5 cents below, 10 cents below, or 20 cents below what I
deem to be support doesn't seem to matter. The stop seems to
act as a magnet just before price reverses higher.
Frustrating.
The thing about Jobs I always have a hard time getting past is
that he was also such an ass, the stuff he did against his pregnant
girlfriend, the way he treated employees etc. He was a great
man, archived a lot, but was an total ass. Though maybe
that's just a common trait amount people who achieve a lot, great
CEO's etc. I told my wife, I'm too nice, that's why I'll
never get anywhere LOL. You gotta be ruthless I guess
here's a clip from
Pirates of Silicon Valley. It's kind of creepy both Steve and Bill Gates, funny
Bill Gates was once asked about this movie and he said 'yep that's
pretty accurate how we were' LOL though I think Bill looks acts
like a psycho killer in this scene ha ah, Here's
another clip
otherwise there's some really funny scenes from that movie
but I can't find them
Anatomy of a frustrating trade:

Anatomy of a frustrating trade: When you get nicked out of a trade by .05 and then it rips 2.00 in 10 minutes! MOS. Venting!
That's why I hate stops,

That's why I hate stops, market makers see my stops and take me out every time, sometimes to the penny! More than just frustrating!

Looks like Market Maker was hiding in the bushes.
