robinhood - that's the point of a stoploss - you can't "tweak" it with any sense of rationale, unless there is definitely some external factor that allows you to reassess the stock on fundamentals or market sentiment. Since you complain there is none, the stop loss is telling you what to do!

You are caught between two risks:
1) You hold and the price drops - this leads to a loss
2) You sell and the price rises - this leads to a loss of profit, not quite the same as a loss
Is your stop loss there to protect a paper profit already made, or to protect a loss from a recent acquisition?
What is your timescale for this share to perform?

Being in at an average of 13.8p, having topped up all the way up from 8p, my first entry (relative newcomer, you see), I am watching the 20p support level as my trigger. Prior to that the SP may dwindle down on lack of news and a bored market. If it breaches that it will indicate a definitive shift in market sentiment and may well then fall sharply - after which point you can buy in again when sentiment shifts back or on good fundamental news, at least covering the spread/dealing costs and being no worse off, maybe better.

It's easy to become obessessed with every daily tick up or down of a share which has been such a source of interest recently - looking at the end of year and then another 6 months out, I cannot see any reason to sell and expect it to perform well over that time scale.

That said, results of the third trial (cue Harry Lime theme!) would be very handy, if only to allay mild doubts that the third time might not be so stunningly successful as the first two trials. After that, roll out will happen as it will, beyond probably most people's powers of prediction.

It's not often one can claim to be invested in a good set of IP-protected products with universal application in a market that is bound to adopt them due to both government pressure on the environment and pure bottom-line economics run by a really good management with only the tip of the iceberg showing so far - 20p who cares? unless you're a short-term trader with a different (equally valid) agenda.

Here stoppeth the lossen (as Niels might say!)

ah sorry prop misunderstood you, I use four brokers- one is an OEIC manager- his charges -don`t ask-astronomical, but its offshore so one pays, then I have a sipp
and peps/isas which I seldom trade so the 1.75% with advice charge is actually minimal. then a telephone a/c with the `friendly` T+ with certificate broker for punting and interesting chats- 1% up to 4k then half % after that-BUT only a tenner to close, then a bog standard internet a/c 20 or so,oh and I use them for rollovers (the spread usually amounts to a charge of 40 or so), blimey there is more,spread betting- usual spreads, I have a few more dormant a/c`s I could probably use if stuck, doubt it tho`.
Now the outdoors calls

cheers.

If its any conciliation, if the ftse had responded this week like it did after 9/11 we would properly be looking at 15p at the moment, the new update from evo was encouraging, so I suppose sit tight, get out, or top up thats your choice. In my case another small drop may tempt me to top up.

Nice to see this thread getting back to some sort of normality

Well done chaps

v. succinct driver!

got to agree , learning new things again, which is why these threads are useful. i think a degree of patience is required. news will soon be forthcoming regarding the third and other trials. there are no problems. before anyone starts accusing me of sticking my head in the sand ,:) i had a very reassuring chat yesterday with seo. relax. it's all good.

Bos - any idea of when we might get some news / Tuesdays seem to be their favourite day to release good news

Baza

nothing definate, baza, just that all was going well and "watch this space".

Oooohh, Bos. You little tease, you.

What colour handbag are you carring today alan , a nice little summer number ?

stockdog, i know you are not supposed to tweak them. All i was trying to say was the minute my stop loss gets triggered there will be a RNS which wud make me an unhappy bunny. (Ihave been in this share since 3.83 and topped up twice to an average of 8.7 p/s---so here Iam feeling a bit smug but also a bit stupid that I have now developped a little love affair with this stock which i know is the worst you can do-at least the missus does not mind about lady SEO)

SEO should be done for bigomy.

A rather fetching fuschia number with large green blooms.

Nice one ,,knowing you it matches the dress perfectly...

Not only the dress but the complexion also!!!

two pretty chunky sells. Not long at this rate before a few stoplosses start popping

i'm hoping i have just caught the bottom.

i think some stop losses have already been triggered

baza

poor souls ... Bos, reckon you have caught the bottom. For today anyway, tomorrow is another adventure.

WT Worked Principle Trade.

what's one of those?
