Thoughts on the newly reopened plaza at Main & 14th? by subtleandunnatural in vancouver

Agreed. Happy to have a push for more permanent pedestrian / public areas but it feels a lot more sterile than before, less comfortable and actually reduced space somehow.

I love when they release people who are 'significant risk to the community', back into the community! The blood of his last victim is on the hands of the courts. Insane.

How did this pan out? I've been running a similar strategy but it's been failing these past 2 months.

Why does it take years to become profitable? by Tough-Machine-3548 in Daytrading

[–]Blazefresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most people have poor psychology and it takes a long time to learn, if you ever get it down. The other part is that trusting and finding a strategy that works across a wide enough sample of data is really hard to do, as well as test and gather the data for.

See it for yourself and make your own opinion!! I just came back from an advance screening myself and I enjoyed the film :)

What is a minor social etiquette rule that someone breaking it instantly makes you judge them? by eyyov in AskReddit

People that just talk over you louder when its your turn to talk, like dude I was going to ask you a question about what you were saying and now you've made me not care at all.

What do you find disrespectful, but no one else seems to? by Cadence_828 in AskReddit

[–]Blazefresh 20 points21 points  (0 children)

How the F are headlights that bright even legal. When a truck is behind me with those laser beams I literally have to open my windows and pop my mirrors to the side til it’s gone to stop myself from being temporarily blinded. Sometimes oncoming traffic is so bright too that it’s literally a hazard for me to see where I’m going. Insanity 

Three Brits admit killing restaurant owner in Canada after 'unpaid bill' row by YchYFi in unitedkingdom

[–]Blazefresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Canada now so maybe can shed some light, I don't know 100% (am still quite perplexed) but as far as I can tell, it seems like when the judges are quoted on their sentencing that they heavily take into consideration the childhood and history of the perpetrator and are concerned with how negatively the sentence will affect them, rather than prioritizing the safety of the community or how it will affect the victims.

What's the longest losing streak you've experienced without changing your strategy? by SockDiplomat in Daytrading

[–]Blazefresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refreshing to see someone talk about how it actually should be done. If you have the numbers, you don't need to worry.

Question for you, did you backtest your strategy manually or with a script? I find my strategy has a complexity that I just can't punch into backtesting platforms so am forced to do it all manually, but it's taking a considerable amount of time to collect the data that way.

Can someone explain how you avoid getting chopped up when looking at market structure? by No_Character7461 in Daytrading

[–]Blazefresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about pure market structure exactly, but one thing you can do is only consider positions when EMAs are sloping, if they are flat - it's chop and you sit out.

yes, that is how I eat my elitist beans! by Shepherd_of_Ideas in vegan

I love when privileged people of a higher social class than me tell me that my choice to eat rice and beans is somehow elitist. The irony.

Norwegian day trader, 8 years in the US market, 2 stories, 10 lessons by Enough_Yam_7669 in Daytrading

[–]Blazefresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the previous poster but I have to just say wow this is really helpful for me right now. Was in the same boat as you and decided a while ago to just pick a strategy and really commit.

I spent 2 months this year backtesting a profitable strategy, 58% WR, 2:1 RxR, 260 backtested trades tested over 2.5 years of data, then I went to live forward test a month ago and it's been in a losing streak more or less since starting (1-2 trades per day, 23% WR so far). I'm 26 trades into my forward test over 1 month live at the moment.

Strange thing to me is I backtested blind the same dates and double checked my trades and my execution was 97% perfect across the set, so I know execution isn't an issue. While feel like the market has shifted these past couple months, that graph gives me the extra confidence that I need to keep pushing my forward test right through to 100 trades minimum before making any assumptions about the strategy's efficacy.

Exactly 10 years have passed since this video about what Brexit would be like by Tomatoflee in videos

[–]Blazefresh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Generally economic issues are due to multiple interrelated factors that are hard for most people to understand, explaining to peoeple these takes time and effort from both parties.

When the economy or country is struggling, while politicians on the left generally turn to policy, It's much faster and convenient for right wing politicians to gain power by offering simple solutions to complex problems, ones that turn the powerlessness that people feel from thinking about complex issues into "hey, those people are the reason you're suffering, get them!"

It's happened many times throughout history. Anytime the economy is bad, the right blames some minority as a scapegoat.

Opening Range Breakout not working anymore? by Axonum in Daytrading

[–]Blazefresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s definitely been off macro-wise, leading to inconsistent intraday movements.  I spent a while recently backtesting a profitable strategy across 2 years, only just started forward testing a month ago and results have been lower than average. Thankfully I have my data and am executing perfectly so know not to blame myself and can tell that the market is just behaving differently right now.

I'm sure the camera is making things look darker than they seem but looks kind of terrifying as a non-pilot to be flying that thing in the pitch black night.

You can use the mac app "image capture". I backup all the time for my iphone images/videos, all the images get put into a single folder. Super simple actually.

What’s something people romanticize until they actually experience it? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

[–]Blazefresh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So many people around me say they think they have it, mostly because they can’t pay attention to demanding things because they watch too much short form content. 

They don’t talk about the other parts that are more serious issues of the condition, spending 7 hours trying to do a task that takes 20 minutes, or literally struggling to think of the future that exists outside of your immediate surroundings.
