HG,

I feel your pain. I was working on the other computer (half expecting a rally until before noon) and turned around and had missed my short entry signal <GRRRR>. I could have still gotten short between 25 and 26 but honored my "system"... out of my entry zone! Only missed 20 point move. If that weren't bad enough, I proceeded to throw money at the market for 7 R/T s getting stopped out every single time. Fortunately, I use tight stops (or unfortunately because most of them turned out to be winners with me on the sidelines). I've got to get this thing refined... I'm so close but yet so far away!

Do you trade the mini? What kind of stop advice would you offer. Thanks for the consolation... misery loves company.

Matt
