Hi intermilan04, Let me take a shot at that one. ^_^ At least here, there are *plenty* of stocks with a wide bid/ask spread, even stocks that trade 10 million shares or more a day. It depends on the stock, and on the time of day, and on the overall market. Moreover, even with bids and offers u

Fred, Could you explain as to why 3% wouldn't always limit losses to 3%? Assuming the stock has some volume (at least 100K), and I set stop loss order as soon as I buy stocks...I'm not quite sure of the circumstances where 3% stop loss would not work. My system is a daytrading system so there is

Phsst, I don't like the trade drawdown more than the system drawdown. I used to think that having a large trade drawdown was OK as long as the system drawdown was small, and I think I was wrong. As a daytrader I take and close out positions daily. Imagine having lost 7% on a single trade and ha

Fred's point is accurate IMO If the Trader has spent blood, sweat and tears over a period of years building up a serious trading equity, then a 28% System Drawdown would be demoralizing (only after causing a serious case of "Butt Pucker"). A subsequent post from Ed showed a 'Max Sys DD = -3.6

Hi Fred, Thank you for your suggestion & comment. - Drawdowns 28% is certainly not low, but I actually have a 3% stop order built into my system. Since it is a daytrade system, each day the maximum I lose is 3%. (the 28% system drawdown is the result of series of losses in several days) So I am
