Difference, once again, between using the close when there are long candle wicks on high, low or both (in this case) and missing the move. Anal-retentive types will just stick to what they see the majority do. Safety in the crowd mentality.
When I'm shopping for a new car, of course I check the technicals (speed, braking & MPG in that order) how fast it goes and stops and secondarily how much does it burn doing it. No EV's for me just yet. Fundamentals like comfort and reliability are a given nowadays - no need to bother.
