Yes, I did.  Thank you.  I do need to use some of that for position sizing.

My problem at the moment, is that my buys do not seem to be buying as I intended.  Even my initial buy does not look like it is buying on MA crosses.  My incremental scale-ins are not working at all.

Any one see what I am doing wrong?
