Finally ... lol

...don't get me wrong but that is exactly the problem when a trader like you post exact trades, it just feeding the "Muppets" and trolls. There is better value for laugh watching them treading water ....

sisse

The biggest problem always is that they don't have proper MM and don't understand where stops should go. That's why I rarely post exact entries. Today ended up a bit of a discussion between proper traders and you can see immediately how the muppets copy it in the eurotrash thread not understanding risk or confirmation of moves with momentum to use as scaling in points.

Ah well, lesson learned. I will leave my plan here for all to see this time, but won't be doing it again.

Covered a few more partials...and closed my lowest one for +2.

Where to cover is what I'm wondering, too. May flatten soon...think I've had my fill...but would hate to leave some on the table. May cover the lower two and leave the top running on BE.

Yesterday's 63, both PTL and I mentioned it a few times here.

Still the key here.

OldQuant,

look at these when you get a chance.

first I tried to compile a volatility based on the daily closes, but quickly realized that the problem is when you get the mean, the difference is going to be the highest at the end points, therefore the standard deviation is also going to be the highest. First graph is the volatility purely based on the daily.

then to solve that, I started calculating it based on the hourly closes to get the daily average. just started working on this, so more stuff needs to be done. but I like where this is going.

now.. I guess just to eliminate the averages and get the extremes.. filter the data and get some sort of index..

what are some other tricks up your sleeve ?

I always have floaters the wrong way. They don't bother me as long as the ones going the right way outnumber them...
