we have only a few days of rally left..upside in the ~1370 area... that would be the first warning shot of a year long bear market that will destroy pretentious livelihoods , wreak Schumpeter on the global finance and bring a new social order ... A new era would be upon us...Just as the venerable Mayans envisaged....... Fear the incoming Armageddon......

Andiron, glad you got so close to even on that one. BTW, excellent timing on the exit and outstanding discipline and trade management. Thanks for the update. Just to make sure I understand your approach, I assume that PS = position size? Is that correct? Is that a fixed fraction? i.e. a fixed percentage? If so, might I ask what percentage is a PS? TIA Geo
Opportunity knocks on your door every day-answer it.
