Why not wait and see if it holds or some type of action at the level before entering instead of stepping out blind? Best not to have static levels, let the chart show, would be better imho, to reduce size and allow extra room instead of limiting ...

Mamood, My first mentor was at one time a professional blackjack player, today the man can not walk into a casino without the camera's spotting him. After mastering the game, his major quest was to play at the tables without being noticed by his ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

That would be my thoughts, starting with 10 consecutive opening losses through 11 consecutive opening wins or 11 total wins in the 30 set, every permutation divided by the total possible, however this figure needs to be weighted for the 60/40 as the ...

A "hardcore" mathematics question
