Closed 80% of that one. Order reset again.

Rinsing...repeating.
Closed half of what was left there. Just trying to get a few more in the bank.

Still an often hotly debated sore spot around the markets in Londontown?

EDIT: Food markets I mean.
i think the EC let the UK traders use pounds and ounces again if they want to - so merciful bananas still have to have an angle of 110° at the curve though , or else they all go in the bin

M5 is ripe...but like yourself...going to hold out.

Could be a nice correction, but wouldn't mind another stab at the high. Decimated volume now, though.

Depends...

.....as an example...if the concept was to buy at the low and sell at the high (assuming one could program that) it would work forever without a tweak, because we would all love to buy at the lowest price and sell at the highest price.

Throw in a bunch of averaged math and you are (imo) hoping that future conditions appear as the past.. and it will not hold up.

also depends on how realistic it was designed and built with in the first place. If you put on rose colored glasses lots of pain. Look at every positive as a potential...
Gotcha! So which base platform would you recommend for that?

Not he, to which you speak, but...TradeStation's Easy Language is nice.

Have never had a reason to use it extensively, but been familiarizing myself with it of late. Puts mql to shame. Actually...SHAME.

.3% shy of what I wanted on the week, but all things considered (lowest volume week of the year thus far)...I'll take it.

Carrying a bit of red on EU, but nothing to panic about...I'm sure gravity will assist me next week.

Fak all else to do...so here till the close anyway.

Temperature plunging fairly rapidly in Toronto. Too late to take back what I said over the last 24 hours about looking forward to snow? Can we just date on mountains?

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
