Everything is random even price itself.

If everything is random how do you enter trades ?

Because I have placed importance on certain levels and trade them. Just because I have placed importance on those said levels doesn't mean that they aren't any less random.

If everything was random, you could not make money considering the house edge. You would be in the same position of a roulette player faced with two zeros. You would always be at a disadvantage. Supply and demand would mean nothing.

covered shorts. went long 1 tranche avg 45
also 1 tranche long bonds 58/25

these are short term trades. seeing if I can get a few points on each with upcoming data spike.

edit: out of both. no spike.

AWN low at 4425.



AMN low at 4407.50. Pascal channel bottom at 4413.



POC shifts are pushing price down, clear trend signals. Two trades, holding runners at b/e has caused me to be taken out. But it is what it is and I am done for today.
