Recouped some loss. Looks it wants to try to reach the pivot level..... Perhaps done for the day before I add up more loss. Asian session is easier. On NY session, all the professionals come and make all sort of traps and tricks.... I hate that. ...

Hi, Steve I don't really know much about AI but anyway it's good to know there's still some small room for mere human traders like you and me.... If AI will become really really matured in the future, I guess the conventional ...

Hi, Senja If you don't mind, could you please make your screenshots a bit bigger (or original size)? Your screenshots looks downsized and a bit difficult to see details.... Thank you for your postings always anyway.
