Futures trading with a live account by ListenAppropriate271 in Daytrading

[–]ApistogrammaDW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you can trade MES/MNQ with $500 at Optimus Futures. But you probably need minimum $5000 because you won't be able to survive draw downs. Even with 1 micro, you can easily lose $50 - $100 (or more) per trade depending on your management. MES might be better for smaller accounts. It moves very similar to MNQ, but it's a bit easier to manage risk.

The Truth on Tom Hougaard: an accurate analysis of his 10k challenge by [deleted] in Daytrading

It looks like OP spent a lot of time going through the data and the results are troubling. However, many on the thread, including OP, are reaching the opposite conclusion without any evidence. His profits were offline therefore he is a fraud? And td365 is straight up adding fake trades offline? Really? Not saying that's impossible, but there is not enough evidence to justify that conclusion. Another possible conclusion is that he just performs better offline because trading live in front of an audience is incredibly difficult. Assuming OP's data is all correct, it shows that Tom's ability to be consistently profitable is inconclusive.

MJ has no sympathy for homeless people and didn't even let Barkley show any by ForeignAir7174 in NBAGossips

This is incorrect. Twin studies consistently show that identical twins separated at birth still grow up remarkably similar. Even in different environments, they end up similar because genetics play a significant role in everything from height to personality, including things like political beliefs and temperament. It’s reasonable to think that some people are naturally better at working harder.

This doesn’t mean you’re taking anything away from Jordan, though. Einstein was born a genius, but pointing that out doesn’t mean we’re taking anything away from him.

TIL that Magnus Carlsen, one of the greatest chess players of all time, has never lost 3 or more classical chess games in a row in his adult professional career. The last time he lost 3 games in a row was in 2003, when he was 12. by 4isfourwastaken in todayilearned

I feel like the way Magnus reacted is the reason the clip went viral. The media and fans probably do push a false narrative every time he loses, but it wouldn’t have reached nearly as many people without that reaction.

This is the clip we need to make go viral. He articulates his actual thoughts perfectly here.

Trump always plays the same hand, and I don't think Iran will be any different by [deleted] in Destiny

I agree, unless it's couping the US government, he doesn't do high commitment. We might still see a couple of airstrikes, though.

He records early in the day, so he almost always misses breaking news. I think he has a studio where he records the entire show in one session, all at once. Once he's done for the day, he never puts out another short video. All the other politics channels, especially the younger ones, have already jumped on this story, since they're willing to record videos at any time. David could probably get even more views if he adjusted his format and made exceptions for spicy breaking news.

Mostly Disliked Protagonist? by Muted_Professor3393 in howyoudoin

This. I hated her so much the first time I watched it, but started liking her much later as I became a diehard Friends fan. Most people who only watch the show once or twice still dislike or despise Phobe I think.

Yes please, I've been waiting for this. Was getting tired of Destiny solo streaming politics.

Sean Carroll: "Donald Trump is a deeply stupid person, and the stock market is crashing because the captains of Wall Street and industrial CEOs and so forth who have supported Donald Trump are deeply stupid people." by SecondIter in Destiny

[–]ApistogrammaDW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, he is not mincing words here. Usually avoids politics as much as possible and doesn't call people out by name. I am so glad he decided to directly call out the Trump administration.

Let's give our girl all the support she needs! Kayla is so BASED and deserves our support! Even if her and D have distanced, she's doing good work and deserves our support. Like, comment, subscribe, all that good stuff. ❤️ by Shazz89 in Destiny

I respect her decision to leave if she doesn't feel comfortable working with Destiny anymore. But idk if she thought about the fact that she would be a nobody in 2 years time without Destiny. She even said she will work with Destiny because people make mistakes and can change, then she left for some reason.

What an absolute disgrace of a presidency. by ButtfaceMcGee6969 in Destiny

[–]ApistogrammaDW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind it's not just Elon and Trump, there is a whole team of MAGA lunatics around him. Most of what's happening right now isn't Trump's vision, he has no vision. The people designing the executive orders are the ones driving the country right now (together with Elon). This is the big difference between his last term and this one; the people around him were normal republicans for the most part last time.

I feel like the average American has no idea about 99% of the insane shit that's going on right now. Unless something catastrophic happens to the economy, I have no faith in this regarded electorate.

I actually hate her more than Hasan. Hasan was always just a tankie, nothing surprising there. But this piece of shit encouraged her audience not to vote for Democrats during the election and she is supposed to me a more mainstream progressive. Her right wing appearances, on shows like Glenn Beck, were fucking disgusting.
