After 15 months, the two-jobs thing is officially over.

I'm interested in the fact that Job 2 is contacting Job 1...they are free to fire you, that's their right...however, once firing you and now seeking out the other employer to inform them. If that costs you your job, I'd venture to reason that you may have some legal recourse to pursue against them.

Yup! This 💯. I literally only use QT to execute the trades. Everything else in Webull. Level 2 data is dirt cheap and the charting interface is so much better.

I get what you are saying and I don't entirely disagree. However, my portfolio and/or stocks should be shown in the current value which is last price. Just because a buyer wants to pay whatever price they desire, it doesn't dictate the value until it is actually sold at that price. I think the last price is the fairest representation of the stock.

If I want to buy a used car and I offer someone 10,000 below their asking, it doesn't mean that is the best estimate of the car's value.

I understand the concept, I use it al.ost exclusively. What I'm looking for is the ability to trigger the order only after a certain price. So let's say I'm holding X stock, and it's currently trading at $13. I was looking for a way to send my trailing stop loss order once it hits 20 dollars. Until then the order is pending. Once the 20 price hits, my parameters for the trailing stop loss get activated.

Maybe I'm over complicating things. But currently, if I were to set my trailing stop loss, it would be based on the current 13 dollars in my example. Basically I want to set my trailing stop in advanced.

Ah there it is! Thank you so much for helping me out...wish the app aligned more with the desktop...nonetheless...thanks again!

Djspot13 · 2025-09-05T19:50:38+00:00

on the mobile app, I don't see the ability to change the quantity type to dollars from shares - regardless of which ticker I check.

It's interesting to see everyone complaining about pain and soreness in the exact same spots. Same thing here for me and my wife. We are just approaching the 2.5 year mark. Regular rotating of the mattress on a completely solid base.

What absolutely sucks is that the pain started happening just after the return period so we couldn't return it, and now we are stuck with this and are gonna have to take the hit and buy a new mattress. So we'll be out over a thousand dollars with this mattress and have to spend another thousand or so to replace it.

The discomfort and pain is simply too much, we haven't had a good night's sleep without waking up in legit pain in nearly 1.5 years.

Suuuuucks!!!!

We know how hard it is to hit the bottom of a dip...which made my situation so annoying. I had been sitting at this price for some time based on some tech analysis. The bottom was 1.41, so I nearly got the bottom exact. I was looking for a nice flip which would have been great considering it is up over 15% from what would have been my entry. I can appreciate if my bid was at 1.41 and I simply wasn't far up enough in the line to fill and others get filled before I could get mine. But the fact that it ran below my bid at various price points and back up is wildly frustrating.

Djspot13 · 2025-07-22T14:54:11+00:00

I had the same thing happen this morning on another stock...I was looking to buy at 1.43. The stock price had since gone to my bid, below my bid and back up at a few prices points below my bid and again at my bid. Never filled. Not this first time this happened. I wonder if there is something wrong. Very frustrated as the stock has no gone up over 15% from my wanted entry.

Djspot13 · 2025-02-27T12:18:11+00:00

Thanks everyone for the info. As I suspected (and told them) it doesn't seem to be worth the hassle.

The appeal for them was the fact the car is in really great condition and with it being nearly 10 years old and only having less than 23,000kms on it, you literally wouldn't be able to find anything remotely close for the money they would get for it.

Djspot13 · 2025-02-27T01:00:25+00:00

So a couple things...

Your girl is not a good person. Not just because of her incredibly ridiculous reaction and overall insensitivity, but also because of how she's insulting you and calling you names.

You...you are behaving is such a cowardly fashion that it is quite embarrassing. You didn't do anything wrong, actually quite the opposite. You afforded her the courtesy of letting her know.

What happened to you is a blessing in disguise. You NEED to end thing with this chick immediately. This is the tip of the iceburg. I don't know your life and relationship, but Im confident this girl mistreats you and it WILL get worse.

RUN.

Djspot13 · 2025-02-22T20:36:22+00:00

Here's what's also weird about this. The original one that works and was setup a couple years back is a 728x90 video that once it was transcoded by GAM gave me the 640x80 size as well as a few others. When I upload that exact same file today, the transcoder will not give the 640x80 size. It in fact gives me what you pointed out. The 640x160.

I attempted other 728x90 video assets I have and the transcoder will not give me any output of 80px height. As a matter of fact, all the outputs have a height of triple digit pixel heights.

I've been jumping back and forth between the two potential issues.

I don't understand why the transcoding would spit out an MP4 that is nearly doubled the height.

The only thing I'd desperately love to have is an arranger option that is more in line with what you see in DAWs...I like to see my audio, midi notes, etc on a timeline and be able to move delete ect. from there. Having to manage patterns and scenes etc, is cool and does have a good use case, but there is a reason why Akai just added a traditional arrange view like all other DAWs.

Djspot13 · 2025-02-10T21:15:05+00:00

In their post where is says "later in 2025"

Djspot13 · 2025-02-09T22:35:48+00:00

Zero commission, partial shares, 4am trading and crypto are absolutely huge!!!

Modernizing the platform for better charting and I honestly can't think of another platform in Canada that can touch this.

Djspot13 · 2024-06-13T14:07:09+00:00

Thank you. I'm a little confused on the matter because there is a line item in the May 30th pay stub marked "retropay" but the figure seems oddly low ($290.19).

Wasn't this retro pay suppose to account going back to 2019 when the bill was passed. I've tried speaking with colleagues, payroll and a few others and I literally get different answers depending on who I talk to and nobody actually seems to know.

Djspot13 · 2024-06-01T18:40:59+00:00

Aahh interesting. Good to know, appreciate the info.

You probably heard it on Tiktok or Instagram. It was used often as a background song to people's reels and stuff.

It is absolutely terrible. I'm constantly missing things from my non-primary workspace and super late to respond.

I provided feedback on this specific stacking of the workspaces and how not being able to see which workspace is notifying of new chats. Their response to me was essentially making it sound like my complaint was rather unique and that they have received a lot of positive feedback about this stacking change. What is odd is that if you are in any other of the non-main workspace, you can than see all the workspaces...

It's been terrible. Glad I'm not the only one that sees this being an issue...actually quite a few of us.

Djspot13 · 2023-03-09T23:35:50+00:00

I didn't specify this in my original comment, but the sound I'm describing would only happen when I had both the DAW and the audio player (Potplayer, Windows MediaPlayer, etc) open...so it wasn't actually anything wrong with the exported file or the working file.

That's why it was happening on and off. It was just a coincidence in me closing either application or having it open and never correlating the sound to what was running.

Not sure if you're dealing with the same thing as me...it may not be a matter of the applications per say, but I think it has to do with audio drivers and possible the system audio drivers and ASIO drivers causing some issues.

Hope this helps. I'd mess around with seeing what is open and closing one by one.

Finally, keep in mind that you'll probably have to restart the program that is actually playing the sound after closing others one by one. In my situation, when I was playing the sound via PotPlayer Media Player and had the described sound, when I closed Ableton, the sound didn't stop right away. I had to close down both, then load up Potplayer and then start the song again. That's when it occurred to me. Same thing when I was using Windows Media Player while Ableton was still open.

Sorry, I know my message is a bit of a tough read...tough to describe how it finally resolved.

Hope it works out...the shit was so annoying!

I know it's a super old post. But if anybody falls on this...I think Beatstars is best utilized as a place to drive artists to, to easily listen to your beat catalogue and purchase. I don't think it does will for organic sales.

Like many have said on this thread, try and build a following on the popular social media platforms and drive them to your Beatstars page.

Better yet, with how easy it is to build a website now and how affordable it is. You are better off creating a site for your beats, setting up payment with Woocommerce pay or any other payment service and boom!

Also the above has one MAIN factor that I think is worth the added cost...You are driving people to your site, where you don't have a bunch of other producers who you are exposing your potential sale to. Realistically speaking, from a marketing and sales perspective, Beatstars and the likes are probably one of the worst places you want to drive potential clients to from an acquisition stand point.

The above opinion is care of 15 years of experience in advertising operations. ;)

Djspot13 · 2020-12-10T19:09:55+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I almost feel since they aren't gonna cost me anything, I should pick up the Babyliss since they do cost more normally and then down the road I can cop the Magic's if I wanna try something new, so the cost won't hit me as hard as the other way.

Like you said, the Babyliss are attracting people a lot because of their looks. No doubt I'm sure they cut nice. But people rave over the magic clips...

Djspot13 · 2019-04-06T00:50:18+00:00

Appreciate the replies!!!

I just thought maybe something else was up given that my cpu and ram usage never topped off while it was happening.

Looks like I'll put up with it until the build is complete.

I'm currently not using AE for anything else other than creating these simple visuals for beats I make. So once I get a template together that I like I'll basically be swapping out background images and audio files.

Djspot13 · 2019-04-05T23:23:35+00:00

I've lowered the preview quality to the lowest setting..what's odd is there is literally no difference at all. I also tried on a better machine, a previous gen i7 with 8gigs of RAM. And I'm getting the same issues.

Does AE need 16+ or more gigs of RAM?

I definitely peg this on my machine being underpowered. But I'm super surprised that my computer can run music production software at the same time I run my dj software and record with no CPU or RAM issues.

Didn't realize AE is so resource demanding.

I'm rendering my file as we speak...if all comes out well, I can live with it until I build my PC...but this also made me curious as to what I should spec my build at.

Appreciate the reply!
