Scott- A look back on the gaps I asked about this morning (http://www.exchange2000.com/~wsapi/investor/reply-5702224). All were short plays. AOL triggered at 3:39 and would have netted 1/4 at close. CSCO at 10:54, 3 1/2 at close. INTC at 2:51, 9/16 at close. Now...my maximum pain is 1 point, so I would have dumped AOL for -1. Day net would have been 3 9/16, assuming I could get in and out on the button. Using the triggers you replyed with today, the results would have been much better (closer to 5 1/4)...you would have been short INTC nearly a point sooner, and wouldn't have been stopped out on AOL. Can you let me know how you arrived at those triggers, as both seemed to involve prints after the first hour. Also, all of these trades would have been losers before they became winners. Where do you set the pain threshold? Don't want to seem like a pest with these constant questions, but what the hell...if I can make more money by bugging you then you can bet that's what I'm gonna do! As always, muchos gracias, Jay
