wwdd? ride it out. but first it helps to have a serious talk with the whiskey. and to realize that the worst that could happen is you die broke and alone. after that it is all berries and cream.
 
Well burro, you were correct with your thinking on another big drop coming. Hopefully we have seen the bottom and...no wait, Janet hasn't spoken yet...maybe next week.

Hi Rave. I think we still see a pullback on Monday. The magic number is 1867. As long as S&P stays above that number as a bottom, it should bounce to a around 2100 in the short term (within a month). If not, I'll go find whiskey, then berries and cream, then die broke and alone. Fingers crossed and hoping Santa wants to return our presents.

Thanks FS. :smile: It has been a roller coaster ride for me since mid-August. The lesson learned was not to panic and bail. There are some who get out early enough that they can buy in at a lower price and that is good. I usually miss the mark and the market goes back up once I exit. I guess for as long as it takes to get back to even (DWCPF to reach 1058) I'm a buy and holder. In the meantime, I'll be revamping my strategy so I'll be better prepared for the roller coaster...wheeee.

Does anyone know where I can find a good stop-loss calculator, preferably in and Excel format?

Of course, I could ask Tom if he could add one to the forum...Hmm.

I'm sure one of us could tell you the formula, or build and upload one. (For example, What would the inputs be? And what would you want it to tell you?)

The inputs would be the closing price that was paid when you first bought in for the F, C, S and I funds. I would like it to tell me (calculate) what the closing price would be for a 2, 2.5, 3 and 5 % loss. It would also be nice if the purchase price could be set as the break even point and also include 2, 2.5, 3 and 5% gains.

Hope that makes sense. What I am attempting to do is add to my current strategy by utilizing stop loss to minimize the length of time I stay in a losing trade.

I've also PM'd Tom and asked him if he could add something like that to the forum. I think a lot of people would benefit from such a tool.

Thanks and I appreciate your response.

I think I understand...if not, we'll eventually get there.

Do you use the TSPtalk tracking spreadsheet? Would you prefer these calculations added there, or on a sheet by themselves?

I do use the tracking spreadsheet. I never really thought of it, but that would be a very convenient place to put them. That way a person could see where they are on a trade and what price they need to be looking at for a stop loss all on one sheet. Great idea!
