OK, I didn't look at the chart that closely. So we have 37.38 divided by 11353.91 equals a 0.33% move. We can define that as flat, if you want, but then it won't satisfy any "strong" or "weak" calls you make in the future. What will define a "strong" or "weak" move then? Greater than a 0.5% move?
So far:
5 correct calls
6 incorrect calls
I just deleted a post critical of Contrary, and asking that we get a new "beancounter". He has stepped up like a man and shown honor. I lift an Old Milwaukee to Contrary and approve of him keeping tabs as long as he shows the honor he has just displayed in the previous post.
To answer your question Contrary, there are some calls which can go either way. In such cases common sense needs to prevail, as well as the big question: Would trading that call have had a better chance of being a winner or a loser? Another consideration needs to involve unfulfilled calls in which a trader goes overnight and is rewarded the next session. As I've stated before, the "Ball" has a powerful record of seemingly bad PM calls turning into winners the next session. This of course only should apply on sessions in which there is no major data being released the next morning. Having said that PM calls should still be judged on that days PM session, and given an asterisk if they pay off the next session .
