Peter; Thanx I'll save that and keep an eye on it for while, Recently I been focused on trigger points for these knee jerks and I now conclude, while I have found some I can't really trade short term all that good. Expenses are such that you have to hit the tops and lows almost right on to come out. Miss one or two just a little ( and we all do ) then the market nickel and dimes me out of more than I made. I need to be able to hold a position that has a sizable move and that often takes several days to a week so I got to play at least a several day trend over this knee jerk stuff, that's been driving me nuts. <G> Trying to compete short term with the floor traders and program trading is not a winner, if your just using a web based discounter. If I lived in Houston I get on a SOES system. What you sent me may add up to a longer term play, and even with them you need to be good on the trigger, come in behind the curve very much and you wind up stuck in the sand. Jim
