Yes as I said on Friday, triggered by a hair. Anyway the
sell signal will come in at $40.32, which is just over 3%,
therefore our risk for this trade is defined.
Remember, there are no V bottoms, bottoming is a process,
therefore even if GDX puts in some kind of tradeable bottom, it
won't be an easy V move up, it will be choppy and the first rally
is always sold and you always get a pullback. The move up
will either be a bearish ABC pattern or a more bullish 5 wave.
However under either scenario you always get a pullback, either
as a wave 2 or a wave B. That's why I would always look to be
more aggressive buying on the pullback vs the first entry or move
off the bottom. Also this is why I generally like to look to
sell the first rally because I always know that a pullback will
come either was a wave 2 or wave B. This is also why the GDX
system can sometimes have a whipsaw on the first trade after a
large move because sometimes it get's caught int he wave 1/A and
2/B
close was 41.63

Great advice. What indicators did you use to catch the bottom for the first leg up?
