check the section on objectives. A security makes its targets when it's trending 
strongly and fails to make its targets when its consolidating or

    <DIV>My system is based on fib retracements and Dell is sure retracing! I 
    figure there are 2 choices:&nbsp; 1)It will bounce off the retracement and 
    resume the uptrend.&nbsp; 2)It will start a new trend and go lower.&nbsp; At 
    this moment it is oversold, so that gives me two choices.&nbsp; 1)It will 
    resume the uptrend. 2)It will re-test the high before a new leg down and a 
    new downtrend.&nbsp; That says to me in the short term it is going 
    higher.</DIV>
    <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV>So next I need a signal that it is indeed going up.&nbsp; Then I set my 
    stop at the low of this retracement.&nbsp; Then I set my target based on fib 
    ratios.&nbsp; (I'm conservative and use 1.618.)&nbsp; Now I just let the 
    price happen and either I'm in or out.</DIV>
    <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV>Here's a couple of questions:&nbsp; what would you use as your signal 
    that it's resumed an uptrend?&nbsp; </DIV>
    <DIV>Would you use the after-hours low or the trading day low for your 
    stop?&nbsp; The after-hours low is a couple of points lower than the trading 
    day low.</DIV>
    <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV>And just generally speaking, am I on the right track?</DIV>
    <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV>I really appreciate any comments, feedback and wisdom you all might 
    share!</DIV>

RT's,

     Two other books that a like are "Trading for a Living" by Dr. Elder and
"The New Commodity Trading Systems and Methods" by Perry Kaufman. Elders'
book, at least for me was good with psychology and Kaufmans' with everything
else in trading.
