Please don't take this the wrong way. Do you know how to put a trailing stop loss?
I'm really new to stock trading, and I do it as a hobby to learn the ropes. Started in July, put in $72, and my portfolio is now worth $122. I keep learning new things, and I tried "Stop on Quote" today for the first time (set at my purchase price) to assure that I didn't lose the $20.50 that I used to buy this stock, as I was worried it would drop significantly. To my bad luck, it dropped to $20.30, triggering my sale, and then began to shoot up...
