hmmm, not quite what i was saying. there are three positions you can have (long, short, flat), not just two. so if you are long, and you exit, that doesnt mean you are getting short (like a SAR system)...you could be just getting flat. at any given ...

Exits: Our worst enemy

Oil Trading - ETF, Stock?
