I need some Avarice conquest advice for those that have completed it. What constitutes a streak and how do you know that you are in one?

That is my biggest issue is how do you know you are in a "streak"? Or is it one of those things that you just need to prep the enemies; whittle their health down and get them close to death so that you pickup all the gold at once to get the streak?

Just some info. I have all the necessary things sans the Avarice ring. Gold find is above 9000% and I've respected my paragon points for gf. Have BoH at 25 and running a TX adventure mode going to Ruins of Corvus.

I'm currently running with a pet; is it better without one?

Started out with only 5 mill in credits. Now up to 500 million. Still no streak...LOL.
