Specifically though?

Who are your boys?

Ok I just realized something very obvious that I'm pretty sure someone already told me. I shouldn't care about the open and close price, I should care more about the entire range for the day. The day's high and low, and also the open price.

So I had a wakeup call back to reality this morning. At 8:30am I had a call telling me that the new drywall finishers had gotten started and were doing a great job! (I build spec houses for a living. Actually just getting started after doing "flips" for a while). So I realize that I should be...

I'm hoping that many people have gotten infected but had such mild symptoms that they didn't even notice. I heard the head doctor (Fauci) say that his opinion is that people who recovered would most likely have immunity for 1-2 years. (This is not proven, but it's his opinion based on how most...

Why do you say no clue? Schools have been closed for a while now. There are precautionary measures everywhere you look. Perhaps it's not as militant as China, but it's incorrect to say that nothing is being done.

Where do you live?

When this is over, I'll never look at bleach the same way again. Never knew it was a lifesaving chemical. Same with n95 respirators. I randomly found one while going through a storage unit last week.

True, but I think 0.2% and 0.3% might be too tight for any conditions.

True. But just as often, I could win in practice when I would have lost. Truth is that I need more granular data.

Where could I get more granular data? I calculated there's been about 124 million seconds of trading action since January 1st, 2000. I'd love to get that data. But I'd settle for every minute, or 15 minutes, or even hour I suppose. I tried the strategy out the morning and had 3 consecutive...

Except for when they raised interest rates from 2016-2019

The DOW declined the entire year of 2008. It lost nearly half of it's value between late 2007 and early 2009.

Oops. Just realized I did that wrong. I did 2% and 3% instead of 0.2% and 0.3%. So it's TP = 2639, SL = 2625.75

I bought the Micro emini S&P MESM20 @ 2631. I just bought one contract because I'm still testing out the motions. I figured out how to set the Take Profit by just calling it a separate order. Although this only works because I bought a small enough amount that leaves me enough margin to do this...

I re-did the numbers to only include from January 2000 until present. It's much the same. I think what makes most sense to me is to set TP at 3% and SL at 2%. It is more likely to hit TP.

Ten every night? You'd easily get bored. My personal record is 6 in one day. This was in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) back when I used to drink a lot.

I'm in Florida, near Orlando. Orange County has mandatory lockdown of all but essential services. Although I just drove through yesterday and didn't get questioned. I had a good reason to be traveling. My county (Seminole) has restaurants doing takeout only. Most businesses can only have 30%...

Hopefully this is the rest of the world by June. Everything will be back to bullish. We'll feel silly for thinking corporate debt was going to burst. Only thing is that interest rates are so low that might cause some weirdness. Who the hell wants to make 0.7%?!

So should I start on January 1st, 2000? Since these are futures, does this mean start at midnight?
