How about a Bull Flag Setup on PAY?

Was ACN a bear flag setup? or really a Bull Flag?

Good morning DAVE! It is another beautiful day. I love it when the market breaks out. Of course, I wouldn't even know about a break out if I was looking at one without your well trained eyes. I may need to move my stops up!! Hope you enjoy your day! Judy

Even amidst the rain and snow, yes it is a glorious day! I have managed to capture the breakouts on SINA, NTAP, WLP and MU this week thanks to your generous guidance, wisdom and insight.

On another note, I am 40 trades into the suggested 50 paper trades for the Bullish Gap Strategy presented at the 4-day Live and am wondering if there is a particular reason why there is not an exit rule for a stop adjustment, as there is in the Bullish Breakout and Swing/Flag Strategies?

A grateful disciple, diane e.
