    I just sold the rest of my ZSL at 18.20. The way this moves I didn't want to mess with a stop.

    I'm not crazy about the action in CMG but it is still holding above my stop and the last support, so I am still holding.

    I'm glad I wasn't jumpy on CMG this morning. Support and stop held and it actually closed in positive territory. I now LIKE this action - although it now has to test the overhead 50-day EMA (see chart in above post).

    I see SLV hit 34.77 this morning but I missed getting in below $35. I just put in an open order to buy a small position at 34.95. Dipping the toe in the water. $35 is a support area - but so is $30.

    OK, I chased a little and bot SLV @ 35.40. Small position so far.

    I know this is catching a falling knife, but I am buying AGQ (3 X silver long) here near 183.

    Yeah, kicking myself on that one too, man that went way further than I thought it could.

    Can you set a trailing stop on a position you already hold? Or does it have to be done at the time of purchase?

    What a difference a day makes.

    Yeah, you can put the stop in any time. I just figured I'd get whipsawed out of a stop so I took the profits. It's amazing that the gain doubled after I sold.
