RE:Maybe I was wrong to get stopped out
sounds like you need to decide if you want to invest or trade. Sounds like you want to buy and hold but never see red. Are you selling high too or just holding unless you get stopped out at a loss? If you're selling the high for a profit then good on you you're trading but if you're constantly stopping out of an attempt at a long position then you're going to keep chipping away at your bottom line.
