Walt, I start with "x" lots, and then scale out as the trades move positively. I also use trailing stops and hard stop losses. The Ever Stopping VIPER

Oh, I forgot. Why is it that traders will pay for the sunday, saturday, hockey, basketball, nascar, etc tickets to watch sports on the sat or cable but wont pay for high quality charting? The Ever Venomous And Clark Howardesque VIPER
