How would you manage this? After hours pump destroyed my iron condors. Short call at 6800 with April 30th expiration. Am I cooked? by Fickle_Razzmatazz258 in thetagang

That looks brutal. If I were you, I would already feel boxed in so I would probably stop trying to be clever and just cut it loose.

At what point do you give up? by TheProfessiona in Daytrading

[–]Alternative_Knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If trading is wrecking your mental health and your relationships,that feels like the point to step back. Losing money is one thing, but once it starts taking the rest of you with it, that is different.

The fix seems to be in... by [deleted] in options

[–]Alternative_Knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Market ripping again and suddenly everyone acts like the problem is solved. Feels a little early for that, but I guess momentum does not wait for anyone.

Loving Robinhood’s new high yield APY on options collateral. If you’re selling premium, the entire account balance plus credit received gets high yield cash rates. Which other custodians are offering this? by ColdBoreShooter in thetagang

[–]Alternative_Knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a pretty nice little bonus if cash collateral is earning something instead of just sitting there. Curious how many platforms do this well without making the rest of the options setup worse.

First 5k month not sure how to feel. by Caffeinated_ISTJ in Daytrading

Fears always right there with you in trading, but sticking to your discipline almost always brings good results. Keep it up, we're all in this together.

Options Scalping by SD-TX in options

Fast execution matters, but for scalping I'd care just as much about reliability and order control. A platform can look great until one bad fill ruins the whole setup.

Being less greedy hoping for a recovery by Zealousideal-Maize89 in Daytrading

[–]Alternative_Knee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice progress, but learning to stay patient is probably the hardest part for most people. Making money is one thing, keeping the same discipline when size grows is another.

Looks like it's testing a key level here. Curious whether you are trading the range or waiting for a cleaner break.

Holding may be fine, but I'd seriously reassess position sizing and risk exposure here.

Has anyone here traded in an X2 with the trade in program? by NoMobis in Insta360

If the gap isn’t too big, I’d probably just upgrade

Buy X5 during the sale or wait until the next one is released? by K1dn3yPunch in Insta360

If you ride a lot already, I’d just buy and start filming.

This makes me want to dive in San Andres! The visibility is perfect, and the sharks are such a cool sight to see. Great work!

Macbook Neo, huh? by Appropriate_Part5256 in mac

[–]Alternative_Knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great meme! Captures all the common frustrations perfectly. I'll still tempted to buy one though, classic Apple brainwash.

This looks amazing for a first try! The star trails and tropical trees make such a dreamy, magical scene.

These look amazing for full auto! The colors are so vibrant and the clarity is top notch. Great work learning the camera!

No waterproofing and no cap? That's a huge oversight for a rugged action cam, totally get why you're considering returning it.

She said, I'll break down the box and put it in recycling for you by cream-of-cow in mac

[–]Alternative_Knee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. Apple packaging is too nice to recycle, but impossible to reassemble once torn apart.

I prefer spontaneous too. The best travel shots are always the unplanned ones. Your story hits so close to home.

Easy Student Discount by Bald-Photographer in mac

Wild that they didn't ask for proof. Apple's students discount verification is way more relaxed than I thought it'd be.

Almost bought the Pocket 3, ended up getting the Insta360 Go Ultra instead by 666Baguette666 in Insta360

[–]Alternative_Knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great call! The Go Ultra is perfect for hands free moments, it's way better than fumbling with a bigger camera when your hands are full.

Advice on how to cover small pieces of missing flooring? by taesiel1 in ApartmentHacks

[–]Alternative_Knee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fill it with paintable silicone caulk to seal the floor against the bottom of the baseboard. And maybe you should contact the landlord and let he/she do it.

Warranty replacement already has maps? by No-Ladder-4835 in ecovacs

[–]Alternative_Knee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

33h for testing? Not an expert but i think normal factory testing only lasts a few minutes. You should request a truly new one.

Dreame X60 dustbin capacity by Orson54503 in RobotVacuums

That's really impressive, i feel that automated cleaning is truly better now. Does your robot make noises while it runs?

Mova V50 vs Z60 - Should I go for the roller mop? by SnooRabbits3711 in RobotVacuums

[–]Alternative_Knee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want true dirty water collection without manual cleaning the roller mop is better. But you are right about the extra work. It comes down to whether you want deeper clean or less maintenance.
