According to Wikipedia, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a member of the cat family (Felidae) that is unique for making up in speed and stealth what it lacks in climbing abilities.
Cheetahs are outranked by all the other large predators in most of their range. The death rate is very high during the early weeks of a cheetah’s life, and up to 90% of the cubs are killed during this time by lions, hyenas or even by eagles. The cheetah has a 50% chance of losing its kill to other predators as well.[6] Cheetahs avoid competition by hunting at different times of the day.
Prey is stalked to within 10 metres (33 ft)-30 metres (98 ft), then chased. This is usually over in less than a minute, and if the cheetah fails to make a catch quickly, it will give up. Running at high speeds puts a great deal of strain on the cheetah’s body. When sprinting, the cheetah’s body temperature becomes so high that it would be deadly to continue - this is why the cheetah is often seen resting after it has caught its prey.
The Cheetah is smaller and weaker than it’s competition. In fact it is smaller and weaker than the prey it hunts. [I]Doesn’t this sound like you and me?[/I]
The Cheetah is much faster than it’s competition and and employs stealth and retreat tactics when necessary. [I]What can we learn from this?

The Cheetah will either quickly catch it’s prey or it will break off the chase. [I]Sounds like a stop loss.[/I]
Speaking of big cats and numbers. There are only 6 to 8 thousand tigers in the world… Imagine if there were only 6 thousand people and 6 billion tigers… :eek:
What do you all think of a price break through the past one day open or close? I already worked out the probabilities of a break through the high or low.
Cheetahs are outranked by all the other large predators in most of their range. Because they are designed for extreme bursts of short speed at the expense of both power and the ability to climb trees, they cannot defend themselves against most of Africa’s other predator species. They avoid fighting typically and will surrender a kill immediately to even a single hyena, rather than risk any injury, as anything that slows them down is essentially life threatening.
The cheetah hunts by vision rather than by scent. Prey is stalked to within 10–30 m (33–98 ft), then chased. This is usually over in less than a minute, and if the cheetah fails to make a catch quickly, it will give up. The cheetah has an average hunting success rate of around 50% - half of its chases result in failure.
Cheetah do not need indicators. They focus on their prey(price).
The cheetah kills its prey by tripping it during the chase, then biting it on the underside of the throat to suffocate it, for the cheetah is not strong enough to break the necks of the four-legged prey it mainly hunts. The bite may also puncture a vital artery in the neck. Then the cheetah proceeds to devour its catch as quickly as possible before the kill is taken by stronger predators.
Take your profits while you can and before the market takes them back.
