Thanks very much, Mike!

The question is….what are your indicators predicting about the future here on Feb 11?


Joe K had a great saying about his charts and the mentality of trading.

He would say “they call it FUTURES not PASTures” for a reason.

Actually, when the rsi is around 50 and the price bars are trading between the moving averages,I set a close stop. I have an automated stop using Think or Swim, if a crossover  or RSI below 50,it sells

Sounds like a great strategy that can work in strong moves in one direction like this one, Mike!

Great trade!


Note that using the same strategy on a short last year, would've taken the trader out in Sept, then barely out in Oct. from the RSI nudging above 50 but its been clear sailing, outside of a close call with the early Jan RSI dropping. 


However, the entry point of your long, from a spike bottom and powerful crossovers in your indicators in November was pretty dang decisive and it's been a 1 way train to Profitsville after that with the powerful,  sustained upmove.
