Hi Scott--

It's a moot point now -- given that the globex has closed almost flat

When I was posting earlier it was down 5-6 points

But if I had gone at 36-37, I'd have placed a stop at the 32-33 level. The 28 level would not have made sense from a risk/reward stand-point for a trade such as this one. At the 32-33 level we'd be looking at a risk of 4-5 points on the downside vs 7-8 on the upside with a much greater probability that the trade would be successful than a loser.

>>What thought process do you go through on this?

It's basically a combination of the intra-day charts and the daily charts in terms of support levels
