It was certainly a strange way to get there--but you came out ahead and that is what matters. Am curious as to how much latitude you give when you place your money management stop -- I think that you once stated that you do use a stop just in case the trade goes hay-wire. Yesterday you went long at 54 and it traded about 15 points lower at one point. For a day trade that seems like quite a bit to risk. Do you use a fixed number of points, a percentage, some thing based on support levels or a more esoteric method-- before getting stopped out?? Anyway, congrats on the trade.
