The good tradable stocks have good up and down patterns.
When my broker goes on vacation he gives me weeks notice, and make sure I am set up to go with a reliable broker that will understand my needs while he is out. Ugh! I guess I just gotta complain every once in a while. Bottom line, your broker is your key to successful trading, even the best of strategies can be ruined by inefficient brokers. This would have been a great place to exit the put.
Also, one needs to know how to read technical indicators and how much to trust these. If it should do this, then get me in for a bearish trade. There I go again with too aggressive of goals and looking to burn out.
