Visa sold on stop loss


Today, Visa (V) was sold on stop loss order, which I have already expected to happen. I still consider this stock as a great value driven down by the market and economic situation only as I wrote in my previous post, so I am ready to buy it back when it shows a bullish turnover.
Here is the result:

07/07/2009    15:49:00   Sold  27 V @ 59.59

How many shares to buy per trade to protect your portfolio?


Have you heard advice such as “cut your losses quickly”, “do not risk more than 10% per trade”, “do not risk more than 6% of your portfolio” and similar? I have read about this in many books and I always wondered how to apply this advice to my tiny portfolio to protect it against loses. I always made it wrong and lost more than the advice recommended. But how to limit your trades correctly against inevitable loses? When I started trading a few years ago I was clueless about this topic. Later I created a strategy of money management and I though I finally solved this issue and my portfolio is protected. However a few days ago I realized I made another costly mistake. The mistake that reduced my portfolio by almost 14% within couple days even though my money management should protect it and I was supposed lose not more than 6%. What did I do wrong then?

I made a costly mistake this week, which caused my portfolio lost more than allowed. Unfortunately I realized it too late. Well I corrected my strategy a bit, so hopefully next time this won’t happen again. I am going to write about this topic in my next post.
