Well, I don't think I got as much as I could have. I was hoping a break of 996 would send us down hard, and it did not. The TICK was improving slightly and that had me nervous. I decided to hit the cover button if the ask got back to 997 and it did. Filled at 997. I have a hard time with close-outs. I think I might have to forget about trying to get more than 2.5 or 3.0 points and just close out like I originally was....by buying into weakness or selling into strength. Trying to push each trade is limiting my gains on the off chance that this might be the 10 pointer. Not a good theory. Hmmm...good thing I bailed.....probably another good shorting opportunity about now....over 1000 and no, I am not hitting it again...yet. EDIT 10:01 - My method is on a buy right now, but I don't like the looks of it much....
