Re: [RT] RT:ODDBALL

I remember experimenting with using the max. move against a position that
eventually became profitable within the data range as a stop. But all this
is on another machine on TS40 . Maybe some coder can pick up the ball. I do
remember that it seemed to work OK, but it was an attempt to feel better
that a stop was in the market and I knew what my loss would be if the signal
went bad. It did however take you out of some OK trades.  Sorry I cannot be
more specific . I cannot get at the data without some work.
