I'm beginning to see how this works .. you wait until a support level has been definitively broken so there is better odds of the downtrend (in this case) continuing. If it continues much below the 198 level, it just might go to test its prior lows of Mar 17, in which case the trip back up again would be a gift

What would signal you to exit this kind of trade .. say if it gets to 198.70 and just stalls .. do you watch volume/price action & on which timeframe. Do you have a trailing stop, mental or otherwise?
