    Questions at this level should come with a fair bounty.

  • over a stream of infinite trades? fixed number of trades?

    • No over a fixed number of trades (e.g., 500 trades). I thought I knew the answer but Internet has very contradictory answers. If you consult Chat-GTP or Gemini ... also different answers.... Anoying!
