Harald, I think that exists the good and the bad move(s), only that. I agree that strategy, as we know it, aid very to understand a closed position, but only because the human mind does not have the capacity of analyse with more depth a position of this type. That is valid also for the opened, semi-closed, etc. positions. Regards, Paulo Soares
