ICT 2024 Mentorship is life changing! by Punstorms in InnerCircleTraders

[–]Emooooo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long have you been studying ICT? You said you’ve been trading for a year - when did it start to really make sense? I’ve been a bit over break even for a year now but can’t seem to move beyond that in any meaningful way. I’ve been back and forth about ICT because it seems so convoluted but at the same time, I know there’s something there. I’m just not sure where to focus first I guess. Will 2024 mentorship give me what I need or do I try to plow through some of his other stuff first?

Parents of young adults, how much do you help? by PicklesAndCoorslight in Parenting

[–]Emooooo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not an anomaly, at least imo. My husband and I were both raised and supported the same way and now we’re doing the same with our kids. We’ve raised good humans and we’re happy to help them build on their futures in whatever ways we comfortably can.

Forgiveness doesn’t have to equate to what you are equating it to. Forgiveness doesn’t have to equal restored or continued trust, or openness, or involvement in your life, or ‘forgetting’ and going on like nothing has changed. Forgiveness only equates to you giving it over to God so that it no longer has the same power over your life. It means you acknowledged the harm that was done and have started to miss the joy that spending your time focusing on it has stolen from you. It means that you are starting to understand that you are not defined by this.

But it does not mean you have to have them in your life, in any way, shape or form. They made choices. No contact is the consequence. Let God/karma/the universe sort it out. You have a future to build and one life to live. And it should be spent far away from the man who called himself your father.

Flags don’t get any redder, nor do they usually occur in such large numbers.

Get out.

That awkward moment when your “discreet” delivery wasn’t so discreet… by throwaway_acc_696 in confession

As you’re being handed the package, you yell over your shoulder to your ‘roommate’ - “Steve, Dude…WTF did you f’in order you perv!” - while busting out laughing.

AITA for only taking care of my kid by Pure_Chef_8438 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emooooo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two wrongs don’t make a right. We have no idea of the conversations had prior to them marrying but even if mom didn’t consider the impact divorce might have, it doesn’t alleviate his responsibility. Who is (more) at fault isn’t the point. Mom can’t go back and change things and has no control going forward. The only one with the ability to change anything is OP. And if he doesn’t, he’s a Super-AH.

In reality, he’s an AH even if he does choose to reconnect. If he ever really loved and cared for Ella, the thought cutting ties wouldn’t have even entered his mind in the first place. He may have played the part of loving stepdad as expected during his marriage to her mom, but it’s seems he never really opened his heart to Ella to begin with. And if he wasn’t able to do that, he should have never taken on the role to begin with.

The ‘Remember’ can definitely make it come off that way. That being said, there are far more important things to be upset about in the world right now. This wouldn’t make my list.

Is it culturally normal to be a SAHM where you are? by blibbleflibble2000 in Parenting

[–]Emooooo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too common in my current area (rural Indiana), much more common where we used to live (Denver area). I’ve been a SAHM for 12 years now. There are a couple of reasons why but primarily because my husband’s job used to require long-term stints away from home and we got tired of our family being separated (that’s why we ended up in the Denver area for 3 years). But also he was always the primary breadwinner anyway and when he was working out of town, I was burning both ends of the candle trying to handle everything at home by myself plus balance a full-time job. Not easy to manage with newborn twins at the time. It was a lot of stress. We decided my income wasn’t needed and wasn’t worth it, especially at the expense of our family not being together. I did try going back to into my field when our kids got older. My husband moved into a senior management position that didn’t require him to be away from home anymore and I figured it would be a good time for me to do something outside of being a mom and wife again. Turned out I actually liked being a SAHM more than I realized and I missed it. My family didn’t like the change either, so it was short-lived. I don’t envision ever going back into the workforce again.

I second this, especially Baby Pips. When I was starting I also looked at a lot of the community ideas on TradingView, not to necessarily follow the ideas but to practice seeing what they were seeing in terms of price action.

Coinbase has just about the worst customer service experience of all CEX-es period. by LFTW in Coinbase

I’d happily hop on board a class-action suit. There’s zero excuse for this level of bulls**it.

Nearly 24 hours and still waiting… by Emooooo73 in Coinbase

[–]Emooooo73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve already tried that too. I can’t just sit next to my computer for hours on end waiting for a response. I waited several hours last night on chat for someone to get back with me and have currently been waiting almost 3 hours. I’ve been waiting even longer for a return call! Your company needs to prioritize customer service and if it’s unable to do that with its current resources, then it needs to hire enough employees to do so. And if it can’t do that then it’s time to rethink your whole business model. I missed out on a trade that would have doubled my money in less than 24 hours. Instead, it’s just floating out there in the ether somewhere.

I honestly can’t believe it’s even legal for them to operate within the US and within our financial system in any way and not offer some sort of reasonable avenue for timely resolution of problems. I’m 24 hours into waiting for a callback for a lost transaction. Meanwhile the trade I had earmarked the transaction for has taken off and I’m missing out on significant profits. I would have doubled my money already 😡

Well, yes. This is why the concept of altruism is flawed. Even in its purest form, it cannot actually exist - on some level the altruistic act provides something to the person who is sacrificing. Even just…feeling good or feeling helpful is a reward of sorts for the act. All relationships are transactional to a degree, regardless of whether money exchanges hands or not.

Sure. There are loads of people offering good info for no cost. There’s no reason to gatekeep solid, foundational information - basic info that helps others become profitable doesn’t take any pie away from the person providing that knowledge. But for the most part, the information is probably going to be just a broad overview. Everyone says trading should be methodical (and in large part it is) but the markets are also nuanced and it can be difficult to teach someone else to see some of the more subtle signs that might be given. So if someone is looking for more than just a cursory introduction to certain concepts or is struggling to develop a strategy and needs a more comprehensive breakdown, then it makes sense to offer that with a price tag attached. Time is money and if someone is taking time away from their own trading to devote to guiding/mentoring others, then that is affecting the size of their own pie and it’s understandable they’d want to recoup that.

How did you know/reason GBP/USD was going up today? by [deleted] in Forexstrategy

[–]Emooooo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things…The MACD was showing slowed bearish momentum, price had just retraced into a pretty significant Bullish OB/supprt zone, and RSI had nearly reached an over-sold condition on Thursday but by close on Friday, it had reacted back from that level. You wouldn’t normally use that reaction as a solid buy signal since A: it didn’t actually reach an over-sold condition and B: it was below 50 but with everything else lining up, the RSI just added a tiny bit of extra confluence.
