New Trade Setup: March 2012 E-Mini Dow Futures

The model portfolio is preparing to enter a trade short 2 contracts of the March 2012 E-Mini Dow Futures.  We want to see trade move in our direction before taking the position so we are entering a stop market order to short two contracts on any trade at or below 12,940.

Our initial stop will be at 13,043.  However, we will likely lower this quickly after any trade is triggered.  If the contract trades above 13,043 before our entry stop order is triggered then we will cancel our entry order.
