*Note: We are close to 2 ATRs profit in all of the trades. Once we have 2 ATRs we will raise our stops to breakeven and look for our first profit targets.
***NOTE on Sell Stops: From now on, will use a 2 minute time confirm on our sell stops. That means the instrument has to trade at or below the price for 2 consecutive minutes. If cannot use time confirms, subtract another 10% of the ATR then place your stop.
