Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)

BUY signal the week of 1.18.11 at $326.58. My first stop was $259.28, so my risk (R)/share was $67.30. Closed Friday at $498.50 with a $498.33 stop. My new stop for the coming week is $485.02. The percentage gain on this trade is +52.6%, and the reward-to-risk ratio is +$171.92/$67.30 = +2.55.

I took a -$45.71/share haircut on ISRG Friday - it closed just $0.17 above my stop. Would it have been better to be stopped out? I guess we'll find out this week.

Losing Trades: 1 | 20.0% | -$34.90/share avg.
