    Looks like last high was 73.25 and low was 64.75 (although it might still be going lower as it just hit that level).

    Edit: You are right, high is now 69.25.

    I looked at that high as well. Also just noticed we have ISM numbers coming out at 7. I'm going to keep the brackets on.

    Yes, that's what I would count too, so far a nice entry...

    Edit: I would also take the current 3 pts gain...

    Edit2: Proved to be a good decission, fell back below 63...

    9/3/2008 results

    1 full stop out -3 points x 2 contracts

    -6 points total x $50 = -$300
    2 commissions @ $4.80RT = -$9.60

    Total for the day -$309.60
    Total for the week -$723.00

    Note results from last nights trade will be posted with todays results because the end result did not close until this morning.

    Here is another interesting point:

    Reloading the position. Just like this morning the 63 entry went in the money by 3-4 points (where I would have exited) then droped back to the entry level and took off again, going up as much as 5 pts.

    This double entry could have paid off at least 3-4 times in the last 6 trading days if I recall correctly, I know yesterday the short did return to the same level. So maybe worthy to consider...

    For the time being the low is now 51.50 for a short at 61.50. What to use for the high? You could use 68.25 and go with a ROT x2 for a new long at 48.25. I'm thinking about staying out of the way until a "fresh" high is made.
