Trailing doesn't have to be done tick per tick. You can trail it below the last swing pivot. Or above/below the last...

I agree. One thing I'm thinking of is trying a larger range size to slow it down a bit. I think 4 range is really too small for CL. 4 cents of $72 is nothing at all.

Could you talk about exits? Do you wait for either + or - 10 ticks? Often I find myself getting out too early. But a 10 tick loss hurts so it's hard to be patient. And when I am well I get a 10...
