If you are losing by less than [commission paid + the average spread] then you are beating the odds and therefore getting closer to profitability.

This may sound overly simplistic, but make sure you thoroughly investigate each of these separately;

Im going to work through things for another week and then report back with some data. I’ve had my head down and made some tools but need to push it to the next level… my bank it’s currently
Going sideways really… doesn’t go up or down… which is annoying! But least were near À 50 percentile mark
