    They can be traded in basically the same way. I just stick to indexes. However, just be aware there just needs to be the liquidity in whatever product one is trading.

    Maybe I will get around to posting some more stuff here within next few weeks. Just haven’t been in the mood and also on the road. Heading for Texas next week. General directional plans (think trading..initial PT’s ..initial SL’s...) are Texas for a week or two then Louisiana. Then Mississippi. Then Florida..(beaches by then should be nice and warm. It was too cold for swimming IMO in the picture above but a few brave souls dared too LOL). Then after Florida maybe Alabama??? Or maybe somewhere else??

    Maybe I will get back home in time to plant some peas (late planting). And okra. I miss my fresh vegetables.

    All plans are adaptable and flexible (as in trading PT’s and SL’s adaptable) and are to some degree a product of the sun...the rain...the weather...the gumption. My wife likes to nail down exact dates...etc on our movements and I drive her nigh crazy with “we will see”..."not sure yet....” “time will tell..” She like certainty. I am training her to arrive at the understanding that life is not certain. We make general plans ...move to execute them...but there are many potholes...detours...and diversions along the way. Much like trading...initial risks initial PT’s vs actual risks and actual PT’s. Traveling is a journey. You have to learn to find the good and beneficial in detours...and learn to dodge the potholes. As is traveling, so is trading.

    Good to hear from you again volpri. 35 years ago Game and Fish commission introduced gators up here in central Arkansas to control the beaver. I dunno how well it controled beavers, but now we have some big-uns. Here's a story / picture of one half a inch shy of 14 foot long https://katv.com/news/local/arkansas-men-break-state-record-with-longest-alligator-catch

    Enjoy your travels and get that okra planting in if you can. You know you like that fried okra.

    Croc story in news atm.....
    Fearless Aussie tradie surfs crocodile down river
    PerthNow May 17, 2021 11:27AM

    A fearless Australian tradie has entered a new scale of craziness, surfing a crocodile down a river.

    The barefoot larrikin, who was wearing a hi-vis top — “you know, for safety” — and shorts, worked a rope around the beast’s top jaw to help him lead it through murky waters.

    The snap — shared online with the caption: Most Aussie photo I have — shows the man’s pals watching on from a small tinnie beside him. (Tinnie=aluminium dingy)

    I believe you have a higher probability to fade implied PB's at the top of a broad bear channel than a broad bull channel because the bear channel is an implied bear trend on some larger TF. Whereas a bull channel, fading the top of the channel you're fighting against the implied uptrend so the probability favors continued bullishness. Of course, considering the top of that bull channel isn't hitting any major resistance levels or you had very weak bull bars as it made its way to the top of the channel.
