I think it was at the time they were picked. Sometimes though, if the pattern is a bullish triangle or a triple top, positions can be taken on the break even if the RR isn't the best. Reason is; usually the stock takes off after such breaks and taking a partial position at the break gives you an opportunity to participate in case it doesn't pull back. If it pulls back, add more. I'm always spunky :-)

Hi Lost, Although Jan didn't request listing what the actual Risk/Reward ratio would be she did want us to list the Price Objective, Actual price of entry, and price of sell stop/limit. Example: 127.0.0.1:3456/SI/~wsapi/investor/reply-9533742 I think I figured MRK at over 4 to 1 RR. Some other people had good risk rewards listed also. Some had sell stops set very low which hurt their RR but maybe they just like to give their trades more room. It wouldn't be a bad idea to list the RR ratio with the other info. next time ....IMHO....
