    $3000 to whatever...

    I'm really bad with entry points, I'm practicing on paper with some to get a better feel. Any advice would be good. Like yesterday when I went long on REV at .93 little later it dipped to .92 a new 52 week low. If you say to yourself: "I'm go long with "ABC" overnight and plan to sell it...
