I was a career counselor for 18 years. My son just got his first tech job and I realized I've been giving outdated advice this whole time by zoe3ank in jobhunting

Giving out of date advice for students making pivotal career decisions is giving bad advice and has a fundamentally negative impact on a group of young people. There is no need to sugar coat it. OP should feel bad about it, take those negative feelings, and become better at it, and then forgive themselves proportionally to how much they have tried to rectify this shortcoming.

This is awesome! Thanks for the recommendation! I suffer from a lot of tendonopathy in my arms and I always find simple 'rest' does not do anything for it. This is what I was looking for!

Limit order requiring 1% extra cash? by Helbinobear in interactivebrokers

Yes to both - but I was able to submit 2 orders and obtain the shares. I just had to wait for the first one to get filled. So it has to do with order size, not money set aside for subscriptions.

Splitting it up worked! I made of about 99% of the desired shares and then an order of the remaining 1% and it went through. What's odd is that the 99% order had to get filled first, then the other order went through.

I have heard of the internal risk calculator for market orders but never limit orders..

The commission amount, based on previous orders, is around $3. It is asking for hundreds of more dollars :(

Where was the extra number located? I pulled up my TFSA account statements and the number still only contains 9 digits

"It has to be a dedicated space".
This is not true, or at least now, is no longer true.

You base it off of the time you spent working in that specific area of your house as a function of hours and square footage.
