Katherine,

This is the Theory, and it is Good.  But in Practice, being able to
identify the B/O and get in before it is too extended is where the
rubber really meets the road.  Hence, I am starting to favor an earlier
entry (and I believe Tom mentioned that he does this as well) because
IMHO only those glued to their screens all day long, with sophisticated
alarms, etc. can react quickly enough to act at the ideal entry point.

Maybe it's not as hard as I make it out to be, but I have not had many
successes with ideal entry points, and I work from home so am seldom far
from my computer.  How about you?  Are you able to repeatably time your
entries optimally?
