    What's your rationale for this trade if you don't mind me asking.

    Its in a downtrend and I can't see any signs of strength in the weekly daily or hourly. The hourly looks like a pullback with more down side to come.

    Regards and all the best whatever the outcome.

    I agree about the downtrend in the long term. But today at around 10:30, it bottomed and began an uptrend the remainder of the day. It hadn't done this in the previous several days. Also, SKF backtests well with this strategy. Plus, I am anticipating some profit taking tomorrow with earnings releases in financials.

    Thanks Placebo! I am still holding, but will use a stop to prevent the gains turning into a giant loss.
