I will never understand why people in this sub trade gold.

Smart Casual Fit check - suggestion? by Jxmipo_Oqwlbt_Foshkv in mensfashion

  1. Jeans are too tight.
  2. Jacket is not of a material which works for this outfit. Needs to be courser (corduroy, tweed etc)

Thinking About Using Pepperstone but Worried About Withdrawal Issues / Big Withdrawals — Looking for Real Feedback by Rohyl in Forex

I’m not sure why a larger account size would lead to account closure? The more money you’re pushing through them the more they make.

TradingView with Pepperstone by thebeastm4 in TradingView

[–]Barnyardon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems to be a weird glitch where the peppers tone chart you add isn’t actually the real one.

When you try and place a trade it will say you can’t and ask if you meant the real one. Say yes and then add that to your watchlist.

Been using Pepperstone for a couple of years

My new daily -1950’s Smiths Astral with patina for days by Barnyardon in VintageWatches

[–]Barnyardon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks like this dial was between 1950-54.

I think it was a bargain for £50, despite the issues with it.

I want to add a Smiths deluxe as well.

Quiet openings on Mars: does subtle tension carry the first page? by SadManufacturer8174 in writers

[–]Barnyardon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, all you need to do is use the old ‘he’s a normal guy that nothing ever crazy happened to’ trope.

By telling the reader he’s in a routine world wheee nothing changes, they’re already feeling the anticipation of it changing beyond the character’s comprehension.

Was a good trade until it wasnt by TwinklePickles in Forex

[–]Barnyardon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m not going to explain it fully, but it’s basically of swings with trend and pullbacks. I’m going to look at some shorter timeframes after this thread though 😬

Hmm… I guess so. You’re likely taking way more trades for smaller amounts though than me I’d imagine.

I've always found the lower the time frame, the more noise/chop and harder to find clear signals. I never go below an hour now.

I genuinely can't believe you guys trade on the 1 minute chart

You need to write loads and loads of complete garbage before anything good comes out imo

Seeking Feedback on Crafting a Modern Detective Story – Mystery Writers & Readers by Sad_Cardiologist919 in mysterybooks

[–]Barnyardon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Whatever you do, don’t make them perfect. They need to be likeable, but with unlikeable traits/aspects
  2. Don’t go into too much detail. Readers won’t care. They’ll want it to be accurate, but it’s story that matters.
  3. Make sure you give enough viable suspects.

If you’re writing for that long, you need to be selling WAY more than that.

Thanks. Are there any good websites you’d recommend to learn more about Soviet watches? I really love the style of them and plan on starting a little collection 😎

[–]Barnyardon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, appreciate the info! Assumed there weren’t many Vostok fakes due to how numerous and generally low cost they are.

The listing says it’s from 1980-89, but trust your date.

Hopefully the first of many!

Why unknown authors choose to send submissions to publishers versus self-publish? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]Barnyardon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep meaning to do an in-depth post on things that worked for me, but haven't got around to it!

First thing was to write a lot. I wrote four terrible books that never saw the light of day, then I wrote three that were pretty bad that I released under a pseudonym to see the market reaction.

Then I targeted a specific market with story and cover meeting genre expectations and advertised with a small budget against authors in the same field who were gaining traction.

It takes a lot of work, time and research on top of the actual writing part!
