8 situations, Previous, and last outcome: Machine picks.
AAA, A ,A : A
AAB, A, B : A or B
ABA, B, A : A or B
ABB, B, B : B
BAA, B, B : B
BAB, B, A : A or B
BBA, A, B : A or B
BBB, A, A : A

This way the machine is able to outguess you.
53% of the time instead of pure randomness (50%)

This is simple frequency of sequence patterns.

Also we can see the letter "e" is the most likely letter.
Then if we have to guess a two letter sequence knowing "e" is the first,
We can then look for the most likely two letter sequence beginning with "e"

It's said :
1. er
2. en
3. es
4. ed

A quote from a famous guys say something like:
You won't need more than 4 variables, parameters.

The above machine has 3 variables,
Each variable has 2 states.
2^3 = 16 outcomes.
It's a lot already.

I used to think about markets this way,
2 variables: Order flow and liquidity,
2 States: Negative or Positive.

4 outcomes:
+ Order flow and + Liquidity -> Bullish
+ Order flow and - Liquidity -> Neutral
- Order flow and + Liquidity -> Neutral
- Order flow and - Liquidity -> Bearish
--> 50% of the time the market is not trending.

But one can take highs and lows for example:
2 Variables: High and Low
3 States: Inferior, Equal, Superior

8 outcomes :
Inferior High Inferior Low
Inferior High Equal Low
Inferior High Superior Low
Equal High Inferior Low
Equal High Equal Low
Equal High Superior Low
Superior High Inferior Low
Superior High Equal Low
Superior High Superior Low

Tradovate is a bit buggy.
The DOM is not working anymore.

I can create order via Chart but not DOM.
They've updated it and now it takes forever to scroll it.
And when you scrolled it it kept coming back to the last price.
But it looks like they've kind of solved it. But the scroll is tougher now...

I don't like their Charts neither.
Mostly because you can't go forward.
There is kind of a wall so it's constraining.

Also it consume too much computational resources

Not a good web platform really.
Limited, Buggy and heavy on resources.

But it’s free.

This morning, I set two limit orders,
One @ 2600, One @ 2500.

Then we reach 2500.
Remove the limit, hope to shop lower @ 2475.
Turned out that 2495 was the low before the "rally".

Then we reach 2575.
I decide to sell 1 contract. Too early ... Get out
Then I believe we won't reach 2600 so I finally sell another contract.
We move up. up. up. up. Slowly but we finally reach 2600. Sell another contract.

Average price 2587.25

Risky but I believe the price is due for a little correction at least.
2500 looks like a good target but I play it safe. I go for the POC just below @ 2555.

The rest is history yet to unfold.

So you are short 2 contracts now? What is your average fill price?

Generals always fight the last war
means that military strategy often focuses on what has happened rather than what will happen.
“There is a tendency in many armies to spend the peace time studying how to fight the last war”.
