Topic of the Week… Oil Volatility Blues!
The story of the week (for us especially) was the sudden advance in the price of oil, in spite of all fundamentals remaining negative.

We didn’t act quickly enough. The net result is a staggeringly low PTP AGR value for this past week (10%). What happened? A flaw in the relative trend analysis™ (RTA) framework? Operator error? Some of each? You find the answer in this week’s discussion.
