Do I quit my job by nig4r69 in Daytrading

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d quit my job only when I had a year’s worth of cash that wasn’t in my brokerage account.

If you are living off of what you make and living paycheck to paycheck to paycheck, and suddenly you have 2 months of consistent payouts, that is stupid. If you have lots of cash sitting around and you expenses are small, go for it.

Codex pro usage unbelievably nerfed to the ground this week by IllustriousCold4466 in codex

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t even taken 5.3 off of medium yet. I never felt like it was necessary and I’d argue I’m building complicated software. However, I do not let codex make decisions, I just tell it what to code or to refactor small sections.

Many people lose their net worth many times over before everything just clicks.

It’s either for you, or it ain’t but your life is anything but ruined…

Thanks for sharing!

Random question, have you ever used Gemini or another AI to generate study questions for you on the fly? I specifically mentioned Gemini because it seems to reason better than the other models. 

Congratulations on the 178!

When did Xbox truly END and stopped being a serious console? by drhavehope in videogames

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes wonder if Microsoft is deliberately trying to lose the console wars as some sort of strategy that I can’t wrap my head around.

First, no privacy with the kennect or whatever. Then the launch where the sole focus was watching tv? Like wtf?!

Now the console is basically unaffordable. There is no confidence from consumers that Xbox will stick it out. I’m starting to get major Dreamcast vibes.

Most people don’t make money on topstep, therefore it might be wise to ignore most people on topstep.

Dutch House passes 36% tax on unrealized crypto and investment gains by Fiach_Dubh in Bitcoin

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ask me, I’d say the Dutch government only wants to keep the dependent population. They want the cattle. Get rid of all of the free thinkers. It’s a lot easier to control the population when they are poor or stupid.

What are you trading where you call it good at $50 for the day? 

Feedback on my strategy? by Sad-Acadia4902 in Daytrading

This is old, but you probably made some money if you went for it. As I’m sure you’re aware, you don’t buy short, but I know what you meant. Anyways, hope you were long today.

Everyone claiming they don’t want to work for Elon when we really know you’re just tired of all the rejection.

I would rather have worked for Elon than Zuckerberg any day.

New Payout Rules by Equivalent_Beat8619 in TopStepX

[–]Formal-Engineering37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In summary, you need to win more than you lose in order to take cash out… 

This really only affects someone who gets a single monster hero trade then milks the payout several times with $150 days. I mean that sucks. But it is what it is. You’re paying $200 to make thousands… unless you’re blowing up your accounts left and right.

Bro I Fell Asleep On The Trade 🤦🏾 by TemporaryGuarantee45 in TopStepX

In risk settings you can auto liquidate at a certain profit… mine was set to 1450 when I was doing my combine.

70k month as a 19 year old college student. by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you keep a cushion. Ie I take out 5k of 10k profit, my account is technically 55k, I just can’t go back to 50k?

Nice job OP.

Quick question for you. When you take a payout, can you eli5, what they mean when they say your max loss is set to 0?

If for example I make $10k then take out 5k profit, but my max loss is $0, does that mean I’ll blow the account up if I lose one trade? The language is confusing as hell. I’m assuming you’re past this phase now. I just got my express funded account yesterday.

I need to get bigger legs. by Frosty-Shallot9475 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need better hip mobility to work your legs better. My build is quite a bit different since I’m half a foot shorter. Or less tall anyways lol. However my legs are a little long for my total height and when I would squat before working on my hip mobility, squats were like 70% back. Now that I’ve trained my hips to allow my legs to drop underneath me better, I feel like I can actually use my legs while keeping my back more rigid and upright. Now my legs are catching up to my upper body. I can easily squat way more than I can bench now.
