The Week That Went Up

My DOW futures chart shows the low on Monday at 7949 and the high on Friday at 9428. It will be interesting to see what happens at the 34 EMA, around the 9600 level. Of course 10000 will be the real test.

The key was stopping yesterday after I hit my daily stop. Kept the lid on a bad day and allowed the week to work out fine.

Am I correct that you are now using a 10 point stop and a 30 point target for these YM stats?

No, 10 tic stop, 25 tic target.

I move the full stop and the be sometimes. That and slippage effect the numbers.

Today’s winners were, 27, 26, 25, 25, 25, and 25. Losers 9, 10, 10, and bes 5, 0, 0, -1.

Sometimes you get good slippage.
