That's Kylie from Fantastic Mr. Fox, one of my favorite movies ever. That's the look Kylie gets when Mr. Fox is explaining his plans. He just loses connection and zones out. Yesterday's price action made me look just like that, LOL!

I think the entire time I've traded CL I only used 2-3 pip stops maybe 3 or 4 times. It always feels totally impossible
