    No art to it, member I'm an idiot... Just arrows and text that's predrawn. I use AutoCAD in my real life just so I can draw a straight line-------------------------------------- :p

    Entry was at 8:36cst... And I mistyped my sell, should have been 989.75. Was late afternoon when I looked at the money transfer and thought I had been awarded an extra 50 bucks cause I'm such an idiot. Shhheee lol :confused:
    How was the traffic today in the city?

    Scrutch:confused:

  3. Not bad. Thanks for asking. Lots of security and barriers though. Guess they knew I was in town:p

    I'm sure they saw you coming... :D

    VT, if your bars start the data at the time then the time I gave you is going to be off a minute. Mine starts the data before the bar time, i.e. data starts at 10:00 and bar is stamped 10:01. Most data starts with the time stamp. eSignal a bit weird... :confused:

    Cheers,

  5. Giving it a whirl today, Tuesday June 24 in the year 2003.

    Think the "Consumer Confidence" number is announced at 9:00. Will lay low for a while.

    VT... Just a thought here for you to kick around...:eek:

    Set target for 1/3 position @ 2pts
    When exit 1/3 position move protective stop to break even plus
    Set target for 1/3 position @ 4pts
    When exit this 1/3 position move protective stop to entry plus 2 1/2pts
    Trail remainder of position with 2 1/2pts (apx.) protective stop

    GOOD TRADE :p

  8. Thanks. Good stuff here. Little trouble following you. Are you making this statement based on trading only 1 contract or multiple contracts??
