Get Rid of Losers Early

April 30, 2017 by Don Roth

After gains of 22%, 15%, 2% and 14% on our last four closed trades, we finally have to cut losses on one.

Quick reminder: small losses are actually a good thing. No one is right 100% of the time. But if our losses are small, and our gains are larger, then we’re happy and very profitable.

So… time to cut losses at 6% on PSA.

Sell it and take the 6% loss. Price has broken support.

Hold all other open positions… which are all profitable as of right now.

Trade Smart,
