Sorry it took me so long to respond, it seems I got blocked out of the forum by our server (again!)

I don't know what's going on with the upload feature on the forum, but have asked Shaggy about it (I can't upload a chart either!)

The only comment I have on your trade is that it is extremely tight! The EC can make $250 ranges (your risk amount) in about a minute, so you'd have to catch a rather quickly moving market to avoid getting stopped out. The important thing to remember about an exercise like this is that even if you can't afford to trade the market (or if it's a market you'd never trade) setup the trade "properly" to see what needs to be done to make the trade work.

By this I mean you have to allow enough room for the market to move so you have half a chance of hitting your profit target before you get whipsawed out.

Thanks for playing Alan. I knew I could count on you. ;-)
