Trade that got away 09-Oct-2006

by Gav Leave a Comment

Though I was not trading today, I kept an eye on any potential nice setup. I saw a setup in E-mini Russell 2000 futures. Though final target 161.8% fib level was not achieved, It did hit 138.2% which was good enough to cover commission and bag some profit.
