    ----Profit/Loss ratio: 2.1 : 1---i never understand this ratio. based on what it''s calculated? based on target vs loss? imo -pointless\useless.is there probability involved in this ratio calculation?
     
  4. Breeakout target over stop loss, VAR has already moved a ggod amount through the confirmed price so P/L is going to be lower (less profit) and target may be a little conservative in this case.
     
  5. for this gap-ups, I hate it. I like big thrust up bars chart.

    I am kind of thinking buy it. easily clear 75, tgt is at 75 to 77.
