If I had done so, I'll be profit stopped at 290 this morning. <br /><br />And then suffer the "frustration" of seeing the Simsci retrace back below 285...<br /><br />Why would I expose myself to this emotional roller-coaster just for a measly 2 point profit? <br /><br />This kind of choppy moves not my market.
