Just a way to try out your strategies, but I do understand when real money is involved, real stress follows and that's where you make it or break it.

Best test= live money; sure not the only test LOL.......................................
Better make it than break it;
even if an order broken up maybe much better LOL
Look at this way, athletes of course practice, but until they go up against the competition they really don't know how good they are.
Practicing helps but ...

I really appreciate your response.

I also use I -Cloud cloud indicator, even though, my ETFs or inverse ETFs neVer hit the clouds LOL. NOT a stock tip-ETF tip , but I do sometime ''create content''
I also study seasonals+ super trends + trends/ some of which never show up in the past.
I also read ads;

Not a stock tip or member of a union ,as BA is \partly
Good question
I really appreciate your response.

Posting usually involves asking and answering. You almost always only ask.

I look for patterns anywhere.
Sub zero weather finished off my battery, last week.
I called up my auto mechanic , told him my battery charger had not really helped much+ even radio would not work then. ''PUT the battery charger on for 4 hours or more''- Mr Barker barked out a lawful order LOL
He been doing auto wok for all his life , old timer, auto worker , with his own shop. WOW in about 3 or more hours it cranked up
AZO put on a 3 year battery free [ edit- battery cost $200+ bucks]. Mr Barker noted AZO does that for free. Excellent customer service. Not a stock tip.
I like the way AZO has proven excellent auto fix it skills , passed the market place test, from way back.............................................
