I moved my Slop tn take advantage of that. My slop was now at 844, proiecting at least haJf the unreali?ecJ paper profits in the trade. The next bar took out my stop at 344, I had costs of $250 in the trade, but had covered those with $63.60 to spare. Add to that the 1276,60 I made on six contracts, and ] had a total of $1340.10, I placed an order to buy a breakout of tiie high of the correcting bar. f considered this bar a correcting bar, because ific trend is stiil in effect due to fact iftat there was a breakout of the high of the bar that made the third segment of the segment count. Notice that as sooi\ as I get a correction, ( begin numbering the segments (jf tfie correction, I afso identify the fiook.

I now had two segments going down. The market was still correcting. The new inside bar established a Ross hook at a breakout of the previous low, I placed an order to buy a breakout of the liigh of the inside bar. J also placed an order to scti a breakout of the Ross tiook created by this inside bar. Some who have seen my style of trading would say Im an aggressive trader. They are correct. When the market is speaking, 1 get very ciose so I can hear what it ts saying. I want to trap every word. By doing liiai 1 also trap its moves. As the cfiart shows, I was willing to go with the market in whichever way it wanted to go. I want to dance witfi it, I go vs/fuire il goes.

Since the Ross hook vas a ijreakout of the highest high of the last throe days, this trade was a randirfate for holding overnight. Average volatility was far too great (or rno to use it for cither my slop loss or my cost liquidation ot)jective. Tfierefore, i used a 10 tick stop for each. Staymg overnight meant placing a stOj loss overnight in th[f Lnndori market. It would either be thai, or exit die trade. Time woutd tel .

I placed my cost liquidation objective at 875 and my stop loss at 865. I waited for tfie next tick. Perhaps tins entry will strongly point out the need for discipline arid poise while trading.
