As a result, it’s only natural that Bandit is the word I use to describe my style. Rather than let long-term themes try to develop, I’m far more interested in compounding my money at a faster rate, making sure it’s doing its job whenever I put it to work. I love to catch the quick-hit moves. [...] [...] I’m a short-term trader, and I don’t at all mind getting into and out of most positions over the course of just a few days.

I usually try to determine at which point a pattern will have failed, and then set my stop according to that. For faster movers it may be 6%, for slower movers it might be 2%....just all depends on the behavior of the stock. Hope that makes sense! Jeff Hey David,
