In the case of Century Aluminum (CENX), I was stopped out as this market traded against my Stochastic Sell Strategy. As far as getting stopped out of the market is concerned, I see them nothing more than a business expense. By keeping stops under control, I am able to focus on letting the winning trades develop into their true potential.
The trader that doesn't take stops usually isn't a trader for very long.
Below is the original chart I posted with CENX. As the market went against me, I covered the position at $52.75; just above the pivot high.
