Stopped out on the EU.....
Probably not a good idea to trade to the 50% line?
or
Wait till the volume picks up?

I'd wait a little while and when it just went up I'd trade it right away!

Dave,

Once in a trade it all comes down to money management. Once green, your sole purpose is to maintain green.

I posted 2 views... tickchart / 1000 and Kase charts / 25

Sandra,
To build a statistical model you need to do the math!
Dont trust what has been told. (for your own long term sanity)

I had a lengthy discussion with a group of friends in which some of them are traders. It was about statistical edges to use in trading. A number of them keep moving from one method to another, in search of the holy grail. My point to them was, before risking any real money, to do their own statistics and journaling to discover what the edge is. Some in the group just believe everything they read and have been losing alot of money. My example to them was if I told them they could get rich by just trading the higher count of momentum bars, once it surpasses the previous run of momentum bars. I have no idea and actually doubt it would be a statistical edge, but until they take the the time to journal and do the math, they are just throwing their money away. It was something i just made up to prove a point. I referenced you Tro, in the conversation by telling them I highly doubt that you would ever just trade based on someones word. That you have thousands of hours in finding statistical edges.
