I wonder if a time-stop might be appropriate for these OR trades. Maybe a one hour time limit to reach the plus or minus 4.

I have just been paper trading them. But there have been a couple of days when I really got whipsawed.

You had 3 chances to get out at 91.50 a tick short of +4 above O/N session? Why didn't you take what the market was giving you? I also don't understand the stop placement.

I believe Bruce meant to use that when OR is too big, to keep risk reward in line. Today's OR was not such a case.
