Time to bring up your original ideas. You presented two margin of errors, the largest of which was Dow 10,654. We have now blown through this level and supposably your premise as well. But wait, you can just keep resetting to higher limits ignoring the fact that every time you are wrong your shorts just lost another boatload of money !!!
Ok so now I see you've picked 78.6%. Strange how this was not mentioned as your "outer margin of error" orginally. Kind of makes one think you're just making this all up as you go along lol.
One thing that could occur is the previous areas of resistance could become the new areas of support in a bull market. So the 10450 or 10650 levels could become the higher lows on the way up.
You just filed a big complaint in the Feedback forum (and got buggered by Baron
) - I'd fck you too, but instead I'll correct your stupidity of not reading the thread before accusing ........August 12, 2010 post right here in this thread said it all in explanation quite clearly - including the 78.6% level ....

Nice. But I think your margin of error (3rd post, DOW 10654) was exceeded a while ago triggering your stop.
Anyway, nice try.

Not so. The STOP for the position is above the April 26 top. Very clearly stated on page 1.
The margin of error post just shows my comfort zone which is the normal area for a wave 2 retracement, i.e. 38.2% - 61.8%. .... once the dow gets above the 61.8% retracement towards the 78.6% level, my level of stress increases along with the chances of failure. The Dow in this case did get slightly above the 61.8% level on high momentum. Yes, that did bother me. But he u-turned nicely.
