Quote from Laissez Faire:

And if you`re averaging a loser, I believe I wrote about that earlier. :)

Thanks for advice LF, I meant to clarify one thing: the premise of the add was not the same as averaging a loser. The trade was a "loser" when 74 was hit, which is where my stop was. I wanted to buy somewhere in the 75.50 to 77.00 range. I could have waited for 75.50, but 76.75 was an equally "good" price for the trade I wanted. I would have had to move my 74 stop lower and add below 74.00 (or for my premise really 75.50) in order to be averaging a loser.

I am at least as adamant about not averaging a loser as you are, but 75.50 was simply the lower portion of the range that I considered an acceptable area to buy. I would not be wrong until 74.

This one could peter out, but I'll see what happens.

You are long here?

- Irrespective of what price action says or any setup says, I won't go long in the face of a game changing news like French downgrade.
I would rather sit back and miss the long trade, in face of such news.

Everything said and done, its interesting that S&P has managed to come back up so far and managed to keep in the top end of today's RTH range. JPM missing, French downgrade still - no proper weakness. Wondering what does it say for the market.
 
Quote from Trvlwanderer:

under the ema 20

This is one reason I am cautious of EMAs, because it's above the 5 minute 20EMA and touched around 78.50 ... I do not have these up anymore and had to load it just to check what time frame you're looking at (probably 15m?)
