This information may be of interest to virgin sharetraders.

How tough is it to recover from a losing trade, and get back to where you started?

10% loss .............requires.............11% gain.

20% loss .............requires.............25% gain.

33% loss .............requires.............50% gain.

50% loss .............requires.............100% gain.

90% loss .............requires.............900% gain.

Losing trades are a fact of life, therefore it is absolutely critical that large
losses be avoided by using a stop loss - ALWAYS !
