It seems it setups happen when they are not to close to one another are better
I have noticed this too in backtesting.

what I think happens when you get a quick thrust down it doesn't get all the orders and it rotates back to get them. it happened so fast I don't know how you moved your stop to +1

Good trading everyone....Sierra charts has an awesome break-even button. Use it quite often. Harry check your transact platform it may have the same. I place my trades through sierra instead of cqg as i like to trade on the chart.
