HUH? We randomly poked the noisy pig during research and it fell into the blanket?
Is this your logic?
You said that the system was not mechanical.
What is your mechanical system doing during LOW volatiliity, opposite of what you are now calling extreme volatility.
When are you going to start charging for subscriptions? I want to be your first "paid up" subscriber. I've been saving spare change that I have found on the Subway.

how could it possible be not mechanical when he had buy and sell limits it definitely was based on some kind of calculations?
_________________________________________________
My method is neither 100% mechanical nor 100% discretional.
I actually use both based on certain criteria I outlined in the
2BC Trading Plan. Those on the HOT LIST have the "FULL" disclosure on the entry & exit criteria.
Remember that Technical Analysis is just one form of analysis used to read the market.
Characteristics of TA are
1. Discretional
2. Mechanical
both derrive thier value from some form of TA.
Econometric modeling is a form a TA on a Fundamental scale.
You can both quantify & qualify these methods when backtesting various strategies on an ongoing basis. Stop loss mechanisms can be "mental"- not placing the physical stop loss order in the market . or "physical"- an actual working order in the market.
You can derive your predetermined value when backtesting these various models. It is my belief when trading one should be able to have the flexibility of going from discretionary entry to mechanical exits.
Thank you for your question.
