--------------------------------------
RUT
Enter if .75% is reached, trail .5% and take profit at 1.5% (or 2.0%)
Remark: Trailing stops are moved in .25% increments
In addition there are good 'scalping' tactics (in hindsight) on NDX and RUT.
Enter countertrend if .5% is reached to get .5% profit, but stop if .75% are reached. This gives a reward to risk ratio of 2:1 and netted 2.75% and 2.0% respectively in that 10 days period.
