My intention with this presentation… as a student of Lee Tanner… to use DFP Sell Rules...

I bought ACIA at the 2nd attempt to BO at the $43.10 BP and it was a fast mover so I needed to study the sell rules carefully so that I wouldn’t hold on too tightly in an attempt to keep profits. I kept hearing Lee’s voice saying that the point is not to realize your gains but to hold a big winner.

I didn’t buy at the first Breakout so I didn’t experience that pain of an 7 or 8% loss. So these are my model steps to hold onto this Big Stock.

I worked with the Decline From Peak Cushion Tables all the way up and it’s been a learning experience.

This is an exercise in using the Decline From The Peak Rules, however you could use the IPO Sell Rules instead as detailed below.

Happy Trading!
