Knowing When To Tighten The Stop-Loss On The Market Direction Portfolio Trade

Jun 6, 2014 | Stock Market Outlook

The push higher this morning in stocks following the jobs numbers may have overvalued the indexes somewhat. I will not be surprised to find that we close lower on Monday after the past several days of gains. As well, the market direction jump today is probably the last jump for a day or two so I would expect a pull-back Monday or Tuesday. We may even give back some of the early morning euphoria and close off the highs today. Stocks though can always surprise and because of that I like to adjust my stop-loss depending on the outlook for the markets.

To profit fully from trading market direction, it is important to understand when to begin tightening the stop-loss and when to keep it wide so as to avoid being taken out on small dips when the market will simply move higher again.
