    That was the 6-month TL break. A lot of airspace below.

    I use a 10 range chart that gives me like 2 hours back so i cannot see the 6 months TL. Thanks.

    Never underestimate the ability of CL to do the last thing you expect it to do. :p

    I will admit, this is the first thing resembling a pullback since the channel break.

    tzachi, use hard stops and soft targets. As each level breaks, trail a stop (such as just above previous 3- or 5-min bars) and let the market give you as much as it's offering. If you exit at a key level and then the move looks like it still has steam, get back in (like you did). I use the 1-min for re-entries and had one additional re-entry on that move down as it came back to the 86.06 low. I also used the 1-min chart to choose a 12-tick stop, but the breakout was so fast it didn't matter.

    You're not trading to avoid losses, you're trading to make money.

    I don't know how many times my mentor told me all this before I finally spent enough money trading badly to finally get it :eek:

    ND, thanks.

    I use the hard stop for emergency only.

    I still working on the trailing stop and think too that its the right wat to go.
