  2. 1. exactly

    2. CAT was on my daily long watch list due to a strong daily pattern. I noted it's gap up and how it held at it's highs while SPY was selling. I kept an eye for it to give me an entry on a higher low idealy at the same time as a SPY reversal bar. I was quite happy with this trade, possibly a 10 out of 10 if i were to rate it.

    I had a great RTM trade this morning on WIN that was so nice I pretty much am ending my week on it. (i don't post my RTM trades)

    heading out for lunch, summary to follow tonight. thank you for your comments.
