dabum re: STR, you replied, in part, >It's all about low risk entries for the professional trader. They aren't concerned about catching the bottom. Manage risk and the profits will come< While reasonable, then I am compelled to ask, "If the professionals are worried about risk management, why didn't they enter the trade earlier? They can set stop losses to limit downside risk at any price. Why is the risk any greater at one price than another?" Second, aside from professional traders, what about institutional buyers/investors? If some of these folks are using FA, why wouldn't they be entering the market? Third, as the price rises, doesn't risk increase? Why did no buyers appear as the price continued to climb (i.e., higher risk)? ==================================== Point of my questions is understand more clearly...why, when, and why? wp
