Re: "you have to measure Bob based on a strict interpretation of his instructions, otherwise it would be subjective." Breaking the above into several thoughts yields this analysis: Do you really mean me when you use the word "you" in the sentence? Why should I evaluate the trade using some entry point other than my own? The words "have to" in your post made me think. A cottage industry seems to have sprung forth centered around evaluating Bob's advice. Some people have certainly made money by evaluating Bob's advice. It's also fun to evaluate Bob's advice, IMO. But do we "have to" evaluate Bob's advice? For some, the answer is probably yes. Some people are so personally involved with criticizing or supporting Bob's advice that it has developed into a personal mania, and thus, the words "have to" take on a psychological meaning. You mention that the analysis has the potential to "be subjective." I agree with that general idea. However, using my entry point of precisely $76.25 plus a negligible commission for my assessment will force me to be quantitative in my analysis. Best wishes, I2
