Dave’s Insight for Wednesday:  Continue to follow your rules…Stay with the trend… The short term counter trend which is down looks to be bouncing up this morning, tighten stops and exit according to your rules…Look for new support bounce entry rules as there were many bull flags last night that will give entry signals today

Dave,

Hello! On the Monday night IWM counter trend trade, when you moved the stop to breakeven, do you do break even on the option so you really do break even (minus commissions), or do you place a "technical breakeven" on the breakout of the high of the low day or something else? Thanks for all your help! David
