Thanks Dave. I'm sure a lot of people got stopped out of their trades on Fridays mini flash crash. I was up big on XLI on Fiday morning before going to work. Fortunately, my little Dave voice inside of my head told me to tighten up my stops to "preserve profits". I managed to save 75-80% of the profit by doing so. I'm back in XLI this morning at 22 cents above Thursdays high. But price action seems to be flat, so far. Now gotta go to work.
