    Exactly.  I am getting out on the bounce - the trade looks too much like the trade of August 2011 for my liking.  Will be watching for overbought conditions - 60/89/144 stochastics on a 15 min chart, any day-long 60 stochastics over 80 on a 5-min chart, MACD, RSI 5 on a 60 min chart over 70, ABC wave count, etc. to help find the exit. Also, if it's a decent bounce, I will put a stop-loss just above entry.
