QUESTION: Dewey writes “Stock charts showed BA hitting $344.35 today, which is below the stop loss limit you have. But it still remains in the open listing after the close of the market today. Am I missing something?”
ANSWER: The Rules require that the Investment Close below the Stop Price. Also, we will warn you in the Daily email if an Investment if probably going to Close Below the Sell Stop Loss point.
