Overnight there was a BUY@65.50 s/l 62.50...s/l adjusted to 65.50...stopped out at 65.50....even on trade.

Is there some conflict here between Jagmot and your reaction high low?
See page 59...Jagmot apparently identifies another reaction low at 75.75 thereby adjusting his short from 73.00...personally I can see the 63.00/73.00 trade and by rights should have taken that as it is a "hard 10". I backed off after reading his remarks.
I have to be more careful and will now jot down the high /lows (10 diffs) as that is the second mistake in 2 days.

You meant 65.75. Overnight high was 75.5, one tick away from entry. Now how maddening is that?
Right...meant 65.75...only maddening when it goes the right way
Equally maddening when you are a tick off your 10 point goal

That is why 9-11 is key, 10 is just the average. I personally used the 63 reaction plus 10. Being greedy for 10 exactly just caused you to miss the other short signal that just materialized. "Hard 10 will cause you to miss many trades over time.
I see your point...and it makes sense use the 9-11..using the "11" would have given us a 74.00 which would have given the 10 point profit.
I assume the new trade would therefore be SELL@72.25 s/l 75.25,which in turn would have adjusted stop to 72.25 from +3 point gain.
Question: Would you take the SELL@ 74.25 even though you flattened at 72.25?
