    =1.12 * 1000 = +$1,120

    Net:
    $-230 + 250 + 1,120 = $1,140

  3. Will short .76 stop .83

    EDIT cancel this order... will re-evaluate around .85.. I think they need to trap some longs buying a break of 15m bar high first.

  4. The funny thing with these counter-trend trades, I would have actually gotten a better entry price had I waited for confirmation.. it kind of petered out near .20, and I could have gotten in at the same or better price and not had to take heat. NoDoji is reading this rolling her eyes and saying "DUH!" :D

  5. Well I feel better at least that I would not have been filled by 2 ticks anyway if I had left the order in place. The question is, to buy .30s or not?

  7. on an A up day, longs are always easier, so 83.30 long would have given some nice ticks, although one had to hold longs for some time.

    I missed the long though also. I have been using acd system for 9 months and every time , i do not follow it to the T, it makes me pay.

  9. Beauty of A up days is, price has not come below 83 - a up level since 9.45 am or so.

  10. It will come below it at some point though- when i have no idea.

    If i had just bought pullbacks for longs- i should have done OK. but execution is tough as i have seen plenty of days when price pullback way below a up level- on failed A up days
