    Yes, you're right about the stop. I don't know if I can accommodate a RR > 3, that would require getting in near the support. It might be a better approach to incorporate elements of chartists and play support levels. Oil seems to be happy to slice thru S & R levels very easily.

    This was an early exit, I intended to hold til 94.90,
    I lose my nerve, looking at the screen too much, my focus narrows into the tick by tick torture

    As noted above, "I'm not much of a chart reader but respect the fact others can be good at this art."
