thanks Magnum, I think you got it right when you say in live trading you couldn't pull the trigger. I'm not sure I would have fared as well in live trading too so I will demo some more this week to get back the feel, I was always able to pull a 100 ...

well done samer, did you choose 50 TP or was there anything else that made you exit?

significance of chikou — a picture is better than a 1000 words I refer you to post#340 page 23, read and re-read and re-read the pdf document as I did.
