Brooke,
Thanks for the gif.! That was a tiny pic but I was able to distinguish what 
you were doing. Appeared that you had 3 moving averages on the chart as 
well. I wasn't sure about what part was proprietary. Was it your signal or 
the MAs? Either way you've found something that works and that's GREAT! 
Congratulations on a successful trade.
J.
