Gotcha. And that is a good piece of advice.

The reason I asked about orders not triggering in your own personal trading is this - you started out trading with roughly $20K USD, correct? That is in my opinion a good chunk to trade with.

I'm genuinely curious if you had ever considered making a larger number of "micro" trades on the swings (referring to going long), as opposed to holding out for longer periods, thus generating more risk.

But I suppose if orders don't get triggered, that's only really a viable strategy if one can sit in front of a computer 16 hours a day.
