I agree.

Yes Rtharp, I like to groove to the sweet sounds of Paul the S&P XSquawk guy.

regular pit hours. 9:30-4:15 eastern

Yeah, I've paid attention to all of them in the past, but I personally believe they don't work. At least for me. 50% and full retracement are sort of interesting to me.

The only numbers I really look at are the 50% from Highs and Lows. Maybe I'm missing something?
