Hah! Good approximation indeed... By done, I mean as long as prices run in my
favor, I stay in after the pattern worked. If they stop, I try to evaluate
quickly if that's a short term stop or a major stop, in which case I jump out
market. Short term meaning we are still in my pattern unfolding, major, meaning
we are now proceding to move to the next pattern.

It's like pulling a shoe string: When it starts resisting you start proceeding to
making your knot, but not before..., and not after...
