Observation windows

It's never a good idea to judge success or failure based on a single observation. However, that's also a very human thing to do. We tend to focus on the most recent data point; however, to get a better picture, you need to incorporate more data points. I've gravitated to looking at the moving sum of 20 consecutive sessions.

This is an excerpt from my September 3, 2017 post. In my last 20 sessions, 10 were winning and 10 were losing. I lost an aggregate of $45,000. Puppy food :-)
