Thanks daedalus for that perspective.

Before I was thinking...wow look at that long swing... when at the end of it, and figuring it had a long way to pull back to 61.8, so I would try a counter trend trade, only to get stopped out, or, figuring it was too soon to enter back in the trend as it may pull back on a second try, and then loose out.

Now looking at it this way, it would seem "more probable" that it won't pullback as much (so not to trade during the pullback), and to enter at the 23 or 38 is not too late after all (I tend to chicken out when it trends past 0 ).

So do I sound like I know what I'm talking about yet , if not, pls set me straight
