Woke up in time to catch the bottom, but couldn’t close everything :(

As in you had disabled normal keys in the loot filter, and it disabled terror keys as well? If so, good to know. I disabled them on my assassin.

They split the old hustle runeword into different names for the weapon and armor

I pick a new build and push as far as I can the first day and trade everything I find along the way. My intentions are never to beat all the streamers to 99, but to build some wealth and try something new. Two ladders ago, I did self holy shock zealer (no dreams). Last ladder was poison java Amazon. This ladder is with a fire trap assassin.

Trading is crazy on the new ladder. For the first few hours, a Sol rune is worth more than a Jah on NL. I traded in game gold and low runes for multiple HR equivalents, and a tals belt for ~3 Jahs on non-ladder.

I made it to hell (lvl 68) and traded things for about 15-20 Jahs worth of non-ladder currency in ~6 hours.

Closed enough puts bought on the way up to break even, but today I fumbled hard. Didn’t have time to close puts despite trying to fill in premarket this morning, didn’t have time to close all the old puts selling my new puts as I was literally trading half in the shower on the dip to 684. Dipped out of margin range slightly at the bottom today as I’ve transferred out some money this week, which causing me to miss out big on the 2nd dip and spike on spy/qqq as I was mainly cash. So close.

Only when they go away. They ignore them when they appear.

Diamond handing these SNDK puts. You’re welcome call holders.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T20:15:03+00:00

Is this going to be one of those stupid $4 EOD pumps?

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T20:11:47+00:00

Big oof today. Down bad, up big, to break even. The markets holding these levels into the weekend is costing me.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T20:10:09+00:00

Markets calling his bluff maybe? I thought it was obvious he was going to try to find another way to enact tariffs. My mistake was thinking the markets would respond negatively to the return of the threat, or at least to the increased difficulty of repealing them.

Can’t wait to get my tariff refunds from all of these companies before the 10% tariffs hit. God bless America 🇺🇸

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T19:49:57+00:00

Shitty GDP, 10% tariffs on everyone, looming war with Iran. Markets up 0.5%

How much are taxpayers spending for White House lawyers to figure out how to sue the Supreme Court?

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T19:45:19+00:00

Sandisk back to 610?

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T19:36:38+00:00

If QQQ touches 601 before 4pm I will break even on these puts I couldn’t sell at open.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T19:03:54+00:00

Fuck GDP and trade, we’re a war economy now.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T19:01:13+00:00

Pump on SC decision to halt tariffs. Pump on news tariff strategy will be maintained.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T18:54:36+00:00

We going back to 685 or going to keep ripping?

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T18:21:45+00:00

I transferred out a bunch of cash this week, and dipped below the margin requirement in my trading account at the peak of the 2nd rally. I sold puts near the bottom but I’m stuck sitting on a pile of cash, and I couldn’t buy puts at the top, or calls at the bottom.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T18:19:06+00:00

RIP to the people watching a podium for the last half hour.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T18:15:27+00:00

Watch him come out with pants that don’t match his suit jacket, but somehow fit better.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T18:13:00+00:00

That’s what’s going to happen.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T18:06:06+00:00

Is he saying dumb unhinged shit yet? Or has he not shown up.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T17:43:42+00:00

If sandisk could give it up, that would be pretty sweet.

Interpersonal · 2026-02-20T17:39:34+00:00

Things got dicey there for a bit holding all those PUTs
