GLENO34 There is no right answer. It ia a matter of odds and probabilities. Has the trend changed to up? List your evidence. Will the trend continue down? List your evidence. If you end up with a 50-50 chance either way then you stay on the sidelines. Then each person needs to decide on his risk tolerance. If the odds are only 60-40 the trend down will continue the risk is high. If the odds are 80-20 the trend down will continue the risk is not so high. So you decide you will only place a bet when the odds are in your favor by a certain margin. That way you know the limit of your risk and all you have to do is win more often than not. Now all you need is a way to calculate the odds. heh heh
