    Thank you.

    I, for one, had a very different answer.
    I did not realize this position has been in place since April 2 (assuming it is front month).

    Thanks again.

    What is being missed though in your analysis is the time that I save to do other things. Time is a more valuable commodity than money.---but yes, trading opportunities are missed. You are correct.

    Agreed.
    Time... a matter of what one desires or deems important. For now, for me, trading as an occupation gives me what I want/need. Time for outside interests, money for wealth accumulation and philanthropy, personal growth, knowledge of current affairs in many categories. Kind of cool too, successful doing of what others don't/can't/or won't understand... My path, which i chose especially for me! You rest, you rust.

    Carry On!

  6. How do you define an "up day"? Closing above the Open?

    Regardless of your definition, it has happened in the past, although of course rare...

  8. Wouldn't expect too much movement by EOD myself at the moment, but I think we're looking at a positive change by end of day (above 2720).

    I agree, you rust when you stop playing the game manually. Been on automation so long, lost some of the nuances due to memory loss. Have new system to test real time, had trouble trading more than an hour before got tired out, am going to have to trade more each month to keep what I know. But each day getting easier on reading what should happen next and reviewing the stats each night on percentages of patterns within patterns helps much.

    By the time you have "accumulated", you try out all the extra plans of what you always wanted to be doing, you can find yourself bored and return and plan something else regarding trading, as in my case. Problems for me comes into being able to do what majority of people can't do, as you said. So keep in mind when time to "retire", you might be coming back, good to program all of it, so you have great notes.

    I like to reverse Long here but complex H&S.
