I don't have the book, however I bought his workshop about 10 years ago and it was well worth the $400 or so - the book is only $150. BTW, most of the more popular trading books, including this one, can be found at barnesandnoble.com for 30% discount.

Assuming you have Dinapoli's book, you need to 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 failing.
Earl My system is based on fib retracements and Dell is sure retracing! I figure there are 2 choices: 1)It will bounce off the retracement and resume the uptrend. 2)It will start a new trend and go lower. At this moment it is oversold, so that gives me two choices. 1)It will resume the uptrend. 2)It will re-test the high before a new leg down and a new downtrend. That says to me in the short term it is going higher.

So next I need a signal that it is indeed going up. Then I set my stop at the low of this retracement. Then I set my target based on fib ratios. (I'm conservative and use 1.618.) Now I just let the price happen and either I'm in or out.

Here's a couple of questions: what would you use as your signal that it's resumed an uptrend? Would you use the after-hours low or the trading day low for your stop? The after-hours low is a couple of points lower than the trading day low.

And just generally speaking, am I on the right track?

I really appreciate any comments, feedback and wisdom you all might share!
