Manually Setting A Stop-Loss – Market Direction Portfolio

Jan 16, 2014 | Stock Market Outlook

This is an update strategy article for FullyInformed Members who are following the Market Direction Portfolio. The market this year so far has shown that it is more closely resembling 2011 than 2013. We are seeing investor nervousness and market whipsaws that make trading the market trend different from 2013. In 2013 the market direction was simply, up. That made profiting easy.

This year requires a change both to the methods being used, the timing of purchasing and the setting of Intraday stops once the trade is underway. This trade strategy article looks at how I set my stop manually during the day in the market direction portfolio.
