optimistic, the grind is in part from VX, recovery, etc.

maybe following on asian footprints, seeing their turnaround

position buildup possibly, but the grind from below is not rushed

able to retake. honestly hard to know so just put limit orders at lows and capture shakeout, enough but not to much size and more spread out

interpreting this as a mark up, and waiting for a sale

neutralizing antibodies is the key word, this was front-run

not often does r3 get passed, expecting retrace at least

the index vol earlier this year presented a good case study

which led to seeking vol in other instruments for further examples

was tinkering a little in FX land, watching the USD/ZAR coaster

and also from a more swing-like, HODLing perspective in stocks

realizing that the criterion were universal, screening for aspects

where range was really just a vol function, tied to relative duration

the trader can select via size and time a comfortable level of risk

tied to levels which are a decent guideline alongside visual areas

can now appreciate the granularity of micro sizing, in futs and FX

a grey area still is options, greeks, curious about charting these

the defined leverage is interesting, but even better, hedging holds

sort of avoiding these sites and affiliated, turning to tradervue and wordpress for entries instead
will say stuff is looking a bit faded, but another injection or oomph could continue the ride

quick test of mt4 seems ok, data feed a bit blippy, but better sizing and risk for learning

5day

found mt5 server connect with low latency, ea auto things, hedging etc, needs backtest env

other positional hedges.. sell longer term c, buy st p.. use only 1/2 position since delta 2x
hedge the hedge with more st counters..
watch vol, timing more critical for leg out.. but can capture using a sell lt p to reduce delta gradually
no matching c, used to increase pos eventually when closing out initial hedge

looking at vac, still like the attempt using subunit strat only, since offers more instant im response

lots of attempts at full spike, good responses, but safety better in ad and synthetics

//

also have to make note of the auto method, not quite fan due to assumption of mkt condition, changes eventually needs tuning.. so unless from ground up black box is hard to manage

there may be utility in using it for searching, as there are countless inst, but even then the results would require top-down context to unravel what is meaningful

//

though lt nrg seems ok, st seems fady, wierd sharp v wants pb
strangely, ng is better off, sort of telling on sustainability, cleaner tech

//

dixie test via eu tl, sometimes these nfp pumps sell off, esp at top of lt range
