It seems reasonable. In a situation like that, I'm either not in tune, or I'm misinterpreting what I see, or I'm applying the wrong strategy to the action. Whatever. But it makes no sense to keep trying until I figure out what's wrong. Three consecutive losses seems about right. I got that from Teresa Lo, who also said that if you can't make money in the morning, you're not very likely to make it in the afternoon, which has also turned out to be generally true. --Db
