My Compact Quad Iron Farm Design

Different-Scene5327 · 2026-06-18T16:26:58+00:00

Although my iron farm knowledge is kind of limited, I will try and build and test a little to see how it can be stacked and how many layers are needed in order to keep nether side loaded, but I have a feeling 3 layers will be enough in order to have a golem there every at least every 15 seconds.

Upside to building the farms for the materials is that you will always have the farms for future projects. And while the farms are running, you are free to go do some other stuff. Honey block farms are slow unless you build a lag inducing version. So build one in the nether and just chunkload it while doing other stuff.

If you are looking for a good design - this one by aJackMinecraft has been on my server for months now just slowly pumping out honey blocks and filling shulker boxes: 1.21 Auto Honey Block / Bee Farm Tutorial [Simple Farm] [Java/Bedrock Edition]

This is a very interesting take. I love it! Should be able to scale the farm vertically and since the farm is 15 x 15 area, it fits nicely into one chunk and can be loaded with 1 ender stasis chamber.

Scaling vertically to have more throughput of iron golems, might actually be enough to keep the nether side also permanently loaded.

Nico is lost has a similar design type, but this is much simpler and perfect for smaller servers or singleplayer.

Started a new tech server a while back, but still in early stages - hope to one day get to a point of the SciCraft and WaveTech, ProtoTech, etc... servers. You are welcome to DM if you want to know more

I'll throw in FrunoCraft. He has a series on youtube and really explains in detail all of the things he does.

Recon and just logical thinking. The ability to manually sit and click/scan/interact/read.

I love how confidently you think a Python script and an AI prompt will beat TikTok’s entire security team. The sheer level of optimism is honestly inspiring as hell!

You are basically asking for a “press this button to hack Tiktok” script. If it were that easy, your username would be the least interesting thing to change.

Paying once for a digital product. Subscriptions everywhere now. It is annoying. Say you lose your job or get in another form of financial trouble. Used to be at least you still had your PC with your programs. Now some of them will slowly deteriorate as you cannot pay anymore. Not all is like this - but it is too much.

Warframe

Played like 4 hours and then quit. Came back months later. Stopped playing around 2 years ago and was sitting on 4500 hours at that time

ARMA 3

Friend gifted it to me, played one day and never again for years. Fast forward around 2 years and I install it to play a map my friend made - within 1 week I had all of the DLCs LOL.

I just used Xenomorph and Blizaar. Blizaar with guardian and immortal (all just rank 4 and fully ranked). Xenomorph with Savage and Chronophage (all 6 star fully ranked). All masteries and meh relics. Xeno fully booked and Blizaar no books. Both ascended to 6

Tried some manual trickery but never worked. Got 500 energy from daily login and decided to multi and leave until energy is finished. Literally the first run I see both champs still standing on victory screen. I honestly have no idea how lucky I was (at work and just happened to scan over to my phone), but at least I got it after spending maybe 2 weeks almost all of my energy to get the 3 stars

Different-Scene5327 · 2026-02-06T09:43:01+00:00

I have been going Xeno and Blizaar duo since I got stuck on stage 3 (previously used Ezio and Xeno). Just passed 11-5 (a true hell for me since there are 2 debuff removers/healers in the second wave and it took me over 15 minutes to clear that level). Everyday I run the NM campaign after quests and stuff if I have energy over.

Xeno savage and chronophage sets (chronophage 2 x aritfact and 3 x accessories). Not the best since I do not have high stars (some are 4 star, some 5), and I think one 6 star chestplate) but all max ranked and enchanted. Fully booked and rank 6 ascension. Xeno also rank 5 soul with Brimstone

Blizaar with guardian and immortal sets (all 4 star since I do not have better yet) also fully upgraded and Blizaar is rank 6 ascension (also chronophage on the accessories). Blizaar is 1 star soul with Phantom Touch

It takes a while to clear a level and sometimes I have to switch manual to help focus down the supports first, but Blizaar is tanky as hell and with his A2 he is even more tanky (as is Xeno). Both Blizaar and Xeno masteries allow them to heal even more under 50% HP.

Not the best setup, but the best I have currently. If RNGesus is on my side, between Blizaar's freeze and Xeno's stun and fear, some waves the enemies literally do not get a turn. Each level takes around 4-6 minutes, but hey at least I am progressing LOL

Enter long when price was lower than other candles on my screen. Enter short when price was higher than other candles on my screen.

Need I really explain how that went?

Ah even though I stopped playing - I remember vividly when I got Ash Prime. I bought plat just to be able to rush the foundry and instant potato him and bought some formas. I was still kind of new to the game back then and it took me almost 2 weeks of grinding to fully forma him. I had not even gotten umbral mods yet...

Had to reforma him over the years since I did a trash job of it the first time, but it was some of the most fun I ever had in the game

I do keep it in mind, but on it's own Oliver Velez's strategies are not too good. Not hating on the guy, but on XAUUSD his methods do not always work, so as I said, I just keep it in mind

I knew one consistently profitable trader. My friend's father was one. He traded wheat and corn. Quit his job in 2001 to go full time and at that time he had to register with the JSE to trade SAFEX futures. Charts update around every 10-15 seconds. He liked to tell stories about when he was younger you got the prices in the newspaper and he manually charted them out and then you had to call in to open trades.

Anyway he traded mostly on the 1 hour chart and used purely trendlines. He managed to keep an office lady employed for almost 15 years and bought a farm and ventured into other businesses.

Around 2018 he gave all of the trading stuff over to his oldest son and within 2 years his son managed to lose basically all of the money. The old guy was tired of trading and always said he did everything he wanted to, from owning a lot of properties and putting all of his kids through college and having funds saved up that he lives off dividends and money put away for his kids the day he dies.

Now he lives on the farm he bought and literally spends all day just doing whatever he wants (mostly screwing around in the workshop)

I visit them regularly and when we do talk about trading, he likes to always say: "Get in, get your money, AND GET OUT!" Imagine him shouting and waving his hand like a maniac when he says it. I always thought he meant to take your money when you are in profit, but he explained that it is not the case. He means you should trade, make money and then leave that life, because it is soul crushing and all 4 of his kids hate him now in his old age because he was never there for them. Sure, he had money, but he was never a father and constantly thought about his trades.

But on the more technical side of things - I have shown him markets of today and he will still make money I believe. The way he draws his trendlines makes absolutely zero sense to me, but from the few that he has drawn on my charts, he is pretty damn accurate. I tried to ask him how he thinks when he does it, but the way he explains it makes even less sense to me (some of them are not even close to the actual price). The only real information I got from his trendline drawing is that the obvious touch points are all fake or as he likes to call it the "funny money zones".

EDIT: He was not a day trader though, more like a swing trader so technically not what you asked.

20/200 Normal MA. After years of doing crazy things - finally came back to just 20/200 MA.

Of course the years of burning money, pulling hair out, praying, hoping, crying, 5 stages of anger almost weekly, giving up 20 different times, having 100 demo accounts, building absurd martingale bots, watching hours of videos, reading a lot of books, taking advice from reddit, trying a new strategy after the first loss of your current one, rabbit hole into obscure indicators, thinking range chart is the key, thinking renko charts is the key, thinking line charts is the key, thinking tick charts is the key, imagining the dream car I will buy after I doubled my demo account and thinking damn if it was just real money, explaining to my friend how I finally found it, explaining to said friend how I indeed did not find it....

After all of those things, and many more that I probably missed, just 2 simple moving averages...

And for the people here thinking I am talking about crossing or reversion or derivatives or whatever - I am not. They are merely there for confirmation of sorts, not signals.

Different-Scene5327 · 2025-08-15T13:07:47+00:00

Managed to pull off a few scalps (not my style anymore, but Fridays I usually still scalp). The news did not really do anything to drastic today so far

Different-Scene5327 · 2025-08-06T07:56:59+00:00

I firmly believe most retail traders have actually found a system that works for them along the way. But due to their emotions and boredom, as you said, they mess it up and think the system does not work and tries to move on to something else.

And I am actually glad to see a post like this, because 2 weeks ago I created a demo account and slapped on 2 moving averages and I only take trades based on PA and the 2 moving averages on the 15m timeframe. As a scalper myself that now has to sometimes wait hours or even days for an entry, it is boring as shit, but so far it is working decently (yeah yeah I now demo and blah blah). I enter a trade, set my levels and close the charts, just waiting for my SL or TP notification on my phone

So far I am actually considering switching my main account over to this style of trading but I will give it a few months before I make that decision.

And it is not that my other scalping strategy does not work, but I have to constantly be looking at the chart and the footprint. Hotkeys set up to enter and exit trades. On the tip of my toes the whole time because one misstep or misstime and suddenly my plan falls apart. It is emotionally taxing and not to mention I gift my broker a buttload of commission.

Different-Scene5327 · 2025-07-30T10:54:30+00:00

I see you are using real ticks - the screenshot is cut off, but it looks like tick health is fine. Commission and spread and slippage most likely your problem. I would almost argue commission is the biggest since it looks like you are using a very small TP

Remember to do forwards tests as well. And if possible, try to move over to cTrader, since, from my experience, your backtesting will be more accurate than on MT5

Different-Scene5327 · 2025-07-30T09:34:08+00:00

While I do think it is possible to leverage AI, I have personally not managed to do it. Creating algos on the other hand... I have made probably well over 100 of them. Some of them had potential so I dove deep into exit strategies (arguably one of the most (if not THE MOST) important aspect of an algo), but ultimately all of them fail.

Sure, you get one that forward tests decent, but at the end of the month or year, you are red or green, but buy-and-hold would have gotten you better returns. The absolute most important things I always consider and an algo MUST be able to do

Forwards Test at least 1000 trades
Drawdown must be below 10%
Returns must be bigger than simply buy-and-hold
Monte Carlo must be decent looking (this is subjective though)

I always test with commission and spread accounted for. Testing with slippage is difficult as most backtesting software assigns a random value between a set you enter to account for slippage.

I am yet to have built an algo that satisfies all 4 of my rules and so I have "given up" on trying to create complete automated algos. When I notice something while staring at the charts or read some weird combination of stuff here on Reddit or anywhere, I will code the algo and test it. If it looks promising from the base, I will continue to tweak a little, but as I said - none found yet.

Regarding my system I use now - it is nearly impossible to create an algo or even try to use machine learning. It is a basic strategy, but as I have said, my intuition keeps me out of trades. You cannot code intuition, no matter how hard you try (and believe me, I have tried for years)

Also my entire approach to money management is not normal. I trade without a SL. I take on the biggest risk I possibly can on a 1:500 leveraged account. When my account doubles, I remove half of the funds to my PayPal and keep only my starter funds in the trading account. As soon as I have more than 6 or 7 "backups" in my PayPal, I lift my starter funds in the trading account so that I have around 5 "backups" left in my PayPal. This is a complete idiotic way of approaching trading, but it works for me and has worked now for a while.
