Jayson,
since CSCO was not able to break the $17.20 the last two sessions, 
the old method was applied : A gap up ant thats it !!!
Wise, at least.
So, dangerous and perhaps stupid yesterday buys at 16.70 give 0ne 
whole $ per share, just for fun.
Yuki is right, the only necessary condition is to be there, the rest 
belong to the market itself.
BTW, very kind of you to explain all these things to cowdude650, I 
hope he will read carefully your reply...

cowdude650 
Since I am a user and you are still in the trial, I will not try to 
explain anything.
I bought, yesterday, 99 CSCO shares at $16.70.
I sold before a while 99CSCO shares at $17.70.
I will pay the commissions from my own.
The net profit is $99 and I will buy a new amibroker 4.40.
My old 3.50 version was at $59, two years ago, when I didnīt know how 
to make 1$/CSCO share. It was the best investment ever.
I hope you receive the message as is.
