The markets are at have been making new High’s.   Also, the nasdaq has been lagging compared to the SP500 and the Dow.   Therefore, we are going to setup for a 240m pull back trade to keep our risk low.     The entry would be 3582.36, initial stop of 3569.99, and a preserve mode of 3623.93.    This is roughly a max risk of 12.12 pts and a min. reward of 41.79.    The min. reward/risk would be 3:1 i.e. 300%.     Here is the chart setup:

Unfortunately, the trade didn’t triggered.  The entry was missed by less than 2 pts.    There are going to be some trades that we don’t enter because the entry was missed by a couple of points.  We are ok with that.    The reason is that if we had our entry 2 pts higher.    Our risk would be 14.12 pts and the min. reward would be 41.79.  This would be less than 3:1 reward/risk.    We don’t want to trade a system unless it gives us a min. 3:1 reward/risk.
