10:06 AM – Getting out of TNDM this morning as the technical picture continues to deteriorate. Shares have been (1) posting a series of lower highs, (2) making new recent lows, and (3) trading with the 10 DMA now clearly rolling over. At the same time, my loss has reached roughly 8%, which is about as far as I generally allow a position to move against me under my risk-management guidelines. I’m exiting here and protecting capital.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Your Maximum Loss
• Lower highs and new lows show that the stock is moving in the wrong direction.
• A rolling-over 10 DMA confirms that short-term momentum is deteriorating.
• Once a loss reaches your predetermined threshold, discipline matters more than hope—take the loss and move on.
