******Mainly Off Topic******* >>The position is as important as action and you have to know what tree you are barking at. Plums are Ok but Coconuts... :-)<< Hi AK--yes the position is important--but knocking down a plum with a stone would bruise it and a coconut, with a stone??:) Let's agree that positioning and choice of object that one would throw needs some thought--yes and method of delivery, is also important. As a boy, I once was using a catapult--sling-shot--just aiming at a particular point on a tree competing with a couple of other friends to see who could get closest to it. The stone hit a branch and rebounded right back and hit me on the forehead--causing it to bleed profusely. I got little sympathy from my mother on that occasion. Now what does all this have to do with trading: let's see: The type of stone--equates to the trading instrument/size of position The method of delivery---equates to short-term or long term position Positioning oneself--equates to knowing when to be long or short
