If there is a correlation between both, be patient, you should be in luck at some point :sneaky:

Talk about traveling :) Also, when someone says: "so, one told us that you do some kind of electronic trading?". Hum, I say "let just say that I manage my own investments".

One of the best thread in 2022 so far. Thank you for taking the time to write it. I wish I understood that few years ago. Best!
