  1. Try this for a stop loss...1 tick above the previous high.

    Nice trade BTW...:cool:

  2. Thanks. I will explain what I actually did shortly. I am not good at getting them on a chart quickly like you.

    Just explained above.

  3. Yea, this time your stop was only 2 ticks higher. I guess the
    point I'm trying to make is...if the price breaks thru that
    upper resistance, the buyers are still in control and it's probably
    best to just get out with a small loss and look for another entry.

  5. Breakout - I was just curious. Did your strategy generate a signal at around 11:42? Looks like it produced a couple points?

    Also, again at 12:24

  6. Yea, I would have had a short, but I'm not watching this chart.
    I'm trading pullbacks on a different chart. That's why I haven't
    been posting setups.

    I don't trade div/con setups anymore. I prefer a trend following strategy like pullbacks.
