With the volatility so exaggerated now in most 1st Frame sessions, I have been frustrated by all the stop-outs.   I continue to examine the proposed consequences to enlarging my stop-loss distance, only to come to the conclusion that I would only be creating bigger losses.  But on so many of these same days of 1st Frame difficulty, the Last Hour, especially near the 2:30pm ET Transition Time, there are been repeated entry opportunities, most often associated by the Exponential Moving Averages, we call, The Curves.
