The Art Of Trading Alerts Service Performance For The Week Of May 11th

This week's lesson is something i have known for a while now: I am just hoping that you guys see the lesson learned this week: Keep your losses very small and eventually the winners will come and they will get you in the green. Never be stubborn about taking a small loss. How many times did you think about taking a small loss on a bad trade but instead decided to "ride it out" only to come back a few hours/days later and say "fuck! i wish i took that small loss!!"
I think about that on every single trade and know fully well that what ever trade i am in could be "THE UGLY ONE."

This week we took 15 trades: 8 losers and 7 winners. We ONLY had 2 big winners on monday and these two winners have put this week's performance in the POSITIVE! Had you invested $10,000 into each trade, even in a below average week like this week, you'd still be up over $1800. All it took was two winners to get the job done but for that to happen you would have needed to do the hard thing and sell the trades that were not working WHILE THEY WERE SMALL.
