  Thnx for the replys....." ".....Now that I am answering you guys questions, I can realise that I am putting the cart before the horse, I need to plan the sell BEFORE I buy.  Checking on my recent slew of failures I am breaking alot of the rules that I have already learned (paid for). 
  Here is one of PKX, I think this is just bad luck.  I see most of my other stop-outs were carelessness on my part."


No problem glad I/we could help! And your exactly right, you need to plan your exit before your entry.

What I like to do is use resistance and support levels for my stopouts (resistance for shorts, and support for long's). This works great for daytrading, but I havn't tested this on a daily chart yet.

Here is an example of a short on a 10M chart, with a stoploss level set @ a resistance level:


This is what I do, but I strongly recommend you test this for yourself before you use it.

Hope that helps, and goodluck with your future trades!

Hello,

I am a new customer so bear with me :). I just started using the BackScanner with the "BackScanner Overview" video (at http://www.blocks.com/ContentBase/ContentHitCounter.aspx?contentid=72) as my guide, and I noticed that in the video there is the ability to select "Manual Start/End date" (figure 1). In my BackScanner I am unable to select the manual start date (figure 2). How can I gain the ability to select manual start and end dates?
