| | Although the system enters on dips, it is a trend following system that lets profits run to high levels as evidenced by the fact that the average winning trade is more than $2,000. | | | The "Big Dipper" entry strategy is similar in logic to the "25 x 25" system in that both are intended to enter in the direction of a strong trend during a minor correction. | | | The "Big Dipper" trading system uses an entirely different set of trend indicators and a different entry trigger that is much more sensitive than the "25 x 25" system. |

| | Still, I considered it a big feather in our caps to net our two Dipper projects. | | | A big reason I do this site is because it's a blast to hear from the next generation of players who are always excited to read about the last. | | | With fewer clubs, and higher prices for everything, as well as a myriad number of other reasons having to do with changes in society and the inexorable march of history, it's not possible to re-create the sort of wide open scene that existed in the 70's and 80's. |

| | The Big Dipper is not a constellation itself, but an asterism, which is part of the larger constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear. | | | Yet we could easily imagine with our friends in England that it represents a plough, or we could liken it to a chariot or some other sort of wagon as people of many nations have done from the earliest times. | | | Most people regard the Big Dipper as the leading star group in our hemisphere of the sky, and most astronomy books often use it as a jumping-off place for locating other stars and constellations; useful signboards to show the way to other features of the evening skies. |

| | Subsequent recordings have seen Big Dipper move even further into the college-rock hard-pop mainstream (Slam contains an ambiguous cover of Mott the Hoople's "All the Way from Memphis"), and their initial, odd bite seems to have softened. | | | Boston's Big Dipper came together in 1986 when bassist Steve Michener and guitarist Gary Waleik (both from the original lineup of the Volcano Suns) joined up with former (and future) Embarrassment vocalist Bill Goffrier and local drummer Jeff Oliphant. | | | The Heavens LP, which shows the group beginning to rely more heavily on layered vocals than string-croak, features such college-rock classics as "Younger Bums" and "All Going Out Together."
