I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard gold going through the roof. It probably will happen some time, but I won’t hopium on it.
As far as stops, I have no hard stops set. After the open and before the close I run through the charts for my positions and sometimes the charts of my watch list to see how the stock is acting. Probably something to do with aging, but I find myself being influenced by my mood sometimes buying too much or selling too much.
I only sell on the open if some news that could be negative is shown on ipso’s list. Otherwise I wait for at least the first hour to act. I have quit trading the overnight market because even using limit orders it has not worked for me.
