<How do you define your exit points? Any thoughts?>

Defined based on the circumstances of the trade....basically how I entered it and what I was looking for.

A scalp may have a 2 point stop, a trade put on for another reason may have a 4, a position may be 6 or more.

It's subjective and has a lot to do with number of contracts, sensitivity to risk at the moment, and downright "feel" or intuition. I guess in my heart I shall always be more intuitive than anything else. Well, here we go.

Side Note? I was just booking a trip to Seattle and noticed a special $98 fare price from New York to?

Puerto Rico.

Talk about your unfortunate timing.

Hi Scott--

I will be out for part of the day.

Will look to day trade this on the long side when the opportunity presents itself--and if I am going to be around long enough to do so.

System went flat yesterday because of the size of the reversal for a gain of about 7 points.
