Out of SBIB and Results for January...

Sold SBIB after it reached my stop loss and then some early in the trading session. These last two trades, although I still eeked out gains, sure did suffer from major 'slippage' or the price change between my desired stop loss and the price at which I was able to sell given my trading 'windows'. In the end, I remind myself that this about the method, not the money. If and when I am able to trade a more reasonable system, my stop losses would have saved me and I would have been much more profitable. Right now I am just perfecting my system, and making some money...So, sold 12.59589 shares @ $12.010 for a net of:

SBIB: +$2.53 or +0.843%

Also, with the close of this trade, I can report January results. Given all my critiquing this month, I am very happy with my results. I did give up 50% of my monthly gains on the SBIB+HOTT trades, but a month in the green is a month in the green.

January: +$8.63 or +3.51% (4 winners out of 6 trades)

We'll see what February brings...

For now,
