    Since my course I've yet to enter a trade that resulted in a loss. I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth. Here's is a chart where I measured the probability most recently of further downside back in April. It is public record, I cannot change it, remove it. At this moment I'm up almost 350%

    I'll be adding this one to my list soon, my best yet, I think..omg I used that word!

            Do what you usually do - increase the window to 90 years.

              Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.
