My last position just closed. I don't think I'll be taking any more today. Not bad, to bring in 35 pips during the US Session with how she's been moving today.

Ahh...I will say yes, but remember, it's variable, so if the spread at one point is 4 and you have PO between the spread and then the spread goes to .1 (Which is does often), then your order is filled.
I see said the blind man.

I have navigator on demo but haven't spent the time trying to get familiar with it because I have just been concentrating on getting these methods of trading down.

You might find the limit+tto combination order just what your looking for. I use it all the time to get the price I want and SL and TP all in one. You can always cancel the TTO, but in the event she blasts down, your SL will save you. Next time we get an inverted hangman, set a limit+tto to the price of the inverted hangman's opening (YES OPENING) price. Try it on demo, it takes some getting use to, but it'll grab you some extra pippage.

I'm staying out of it. I wanted to take the short at 45, but I just hit my weekly goal after today's session and I'm not about to piss it away on one last trade of the day.

The amateur Drew Kittleson is a sophomore here at FSU. He had a bad round yesterday but shot a 72 today and ended at +6.
