Patrick,

I see that you're using a defined box size for TRE. I gave you % box size. With traditional box size a $5 stock must move up 30% to $6.50 to score 3 boxes when a $50 stock gets 3 boxes with a mere 6% move up to $53. Fixed box size is somewhat better than traditional, but suffers from similar shortcomings when you have significant moves like TRE has had.

I haven't used traditional box size in years, and I've tried to evangelize some of the piffers wrt % charts, but so far I've only convinced a few of 'em. % charts would have given you a few entry opps on TRE before now. With % box size I don't need to try to determine what the most appropriate fixed box size might be.

Try it, you'll like it.
