    Posts i found informative which i will review in the future. Quote from niko: I would cancel the buy stop, because the RET did not go and instead this is turning into a TR, so I will reassess and avoid being sucked inside a TR on a fakeout, as would have been the case here. Am I wrong...

    DB: The exact low of trading range is 67.75, the stop entry price is 70.75. But the loss would be still 2 points if exit at the bottom of entry bar, middle of trading range . Maybe i misunderstood what you wrote in the above? Thank you.

    game: You are trading very well. Thanks for sharing. I need to ask you a question: Why does your checklist let you long around 8:52 and short around 9:11? i bought ES at 9:04 the range top and sold ES at 9:11 the range bottom which i should not have taken. I am very curious the reasoning...
