Setting Stops

Based upon the comments of one of our readers, we have tried to clarify an element of our systems.  With our ETF trades, we set a stop each day.  Depending upon your broker, execution of your intened stop may be less than perfect.  Go to our BLOG Page entitled "shortcomings and limitations," item #2, and the issue of "slippage" and ETF stops will be dealt with there.

Thanks, Larry, for your insights.
Today's Post with new algorithmically-generated signals will be coming up shortly.
