Hi Scott, Sold the Long at 1241.00spx [paper] Scott you are very observant..... And I Thank You for the Council. I have no idea as to the slipage and complications of entering quick trades on the mini's/options. I expect there will be a steep learning curve when this finally occurs. This computer gets upgraded shortly and then a few more pieces to the trading puzzle can be put into place. I could not trade this way picking up the phone and calling a broker....nor pushing telephone buttons. I'm not sure it could be done off the computer either....unless I was plugged right into the floor. That's not going to happen. What I want to happen and what actually takes place will be an eye-opener. But some of these trade would work out....I hope? So you are absolutely correct, I must get closer to the reality of placing orders and following the vehicle I will be Trading. I promise to do this before placing my first Live Order. I've started to work backwards now and look more at position trading over longer periods. The signals from the forks are the same, but the positioning is different. These daily small forks are very useful and are filled with instruction for the eye. Everything interday applies to larger forks. I hope to extend out to a few days if not weeks. Thanks Again Chip
