>I have only one more question: SAPE long (5.47, stop 4) Is that right? risking almost 30%?

Yes :)

I think it will test $8. Remember the market moves for a trader in geometric ratios. I could care less about percentages, point values, etc... I'm looking at my risk vs. my expected gain. I also scale my positions for consistent risk. SO, a stop in SAPE would be easily covered by my next 1 to 1 or greater gain. (Even if the 2nd trade is a $2 gain on a $100 stock)

After a loooong base like SAPE did on the weekly. A break of the 20ma (weekly) should launch it. It will probably retest $16-20, but I think $8 will be a straight shot. Then it may take a while to see the next resistance level.

Good Trading!

Just a quick update on SAPE...

realitytrader.com

We took partial profits this morning into the 7.10 area, +1.63 or so. Exit was triggered by an exhaustive move with high volume into the hourly Fibonacci expansion level. Stop trailed up to breakeven on remaining shares for now, and as soon as another swing low is put in I'll trail it up furthur.

Good luck and good trading!
