Not quite, maybe one more day, especially given the Parker Spiral 

How long will it stay in a good position? I know the more it moves to the west the likelier solar proton storms get, but CME's effectivenes shrinks.

5-6 days (from Center to nearing western limb). It will all depend if it blows another CME. But it has to be long duration with strong coronal dimming. As always with CMEs it depends on its characteristics and distribution to be Earth directed.

Thank you. 

Still no synpotic map or anything, so I dont know how possible further (strong) flares are.

What confuses me is all this "THe best presucutor for an X-Class is an X-Class" Talk. Some say after a Strong flare a Region needs time to "reload" (reconfigure), and most regions cant shoot back to back strong flares, others say the exact opposite..

You don’t need synoptic maps. Once you learned/mastered how you can classify the magnetic classification of sunspot regions you won’t need it. The rules are pretty simple ;) 

all complex regions are different and you have regions that are so complex they don’t even “pop”, other regions will be so complex they are shooting a lot of strong flares but all impulsive and other very complex regions produced strong very long duration events with huge CMEs (that indeed need to ”reload” for a next event) . There is no exact scheme for any complex region, they are pretty unpredictable in the characteristics so you just have to wait till they happen.

Does the size of the spot determine its potential? That is, can smaller spots produce larger flares? 

This has certainly been interesting to watch over that last week, and the enthusiasm here is almost contagious.

It’s all about magnetic complexity, more than it is about size. That being said, many very complex spots are larger, but they don’t necessarily have to be large to produce strong flares, just complex.

 what do you think about this thread? ( There are more tweets under this one, really interesting)

Keep the discussion about 2993 in the correct topic!

the M3 was a bit eruptive but won’t be earth directed as the bulk will be above and away from earth (narrow CME)

Im sorry. I chose the wrong topic by accident.
