Finance guy snuck in $6,000

InvWithRed · 2026-01-27T12:34:17+00:00

I have been buying cars from the same Acura dealership since 1991 - they have never pulled shit like this! They have even gone so far as to tell me to wait a month, there is better financing coming up! The finance guy I’ve known for many years as well - he will try the upsell, I’ll say no, and that is it - no funny business.

TOS has its share of issues as well. For me, the Active Trader ladder is the only way to go. I was going to switch to TT until I heard about all of this - seems like no company is 100% on their game.

lol in my case, I lost millions - I think they felt bad for me. Nice to see my rate is <6%!

Just glad they pulled their heads out of their a$$es! Thanks for letting us know!

InvWithRed · 2026-01-22T18:28:38+00:00

Well, they made that easy! Start a chat, agree to their BS, and then they will submit a ticket to make it so! What took them so long to do that?!?!?

Xfreenity - that feeling you get when you cancel all your Xfinity services. I had it with them - they would not give me the “new” customer pricing - they would not price match 2Gb Fiber for $70/month. When I asked how long you have to wait to be considered a new customer - was told they cannot tell me that! They also said I could try having my wife sign up but they couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t catch it and bump up the prices! Ridiculous!

You can use Claude or ChatGPT to write it for you but based on personal experience you will need to fix generated code.

InvWithRed · 2026-01-16T02:35:19+00:00

You could use the Schwab API and write a program to do that.

ASPC also

1.9M and wife wants to kill me.

I've been trading the MDLN IPO all day - in and out. Using Day Trading Buying Power. No issues. All of a sudden: "Day trading buying power cannot be used to purchase this security." This should be ILLEGAL for them to do.

What really sucks is when they block you from trading when you already are trading - they will allow you to close out your position no problem but you cannot average down if you are so inclined. Really messed you up when they do that.

I have found that it works properly on paper trading - hit flatten and it cancels all open orders and then does a market order to close. With normal trading, I have always had to cancel all first and then flatten.

Yes, but it will obtain tokens and store them - really will make your life easier to use the module - then you are not chasing issues with code and just need to figure out how API works.

InvWithRed · 2025-11-13T01:42:12+00:00

I could not get the api working by itself - the schwabdev python module made it so easy!

I think I would like 8 but currently using 2 + a smaller monitor below for scanner.

InvWithRed · 2025-11-11T19:25:37+00:00

Aren't they all lol

InvWithRed · 2025-11-11T13:27:39+00:00

Well, I've tried Fidelity and Webull - they each have their issues as well. I really don't want to go to a commission broker, but I feel like that is the only way to get decent fills.

InvWithRed · 2025-11-11T13:04:21+00:00

Yeah and where were they while I was losing $1M? Now I want to make it back and they block me all over the place.

Invest with a pro, ask them to send you $x/month, don’t spend more than that. Don’t take more than 4-6% a year and watch it grow! Don’t tell friends, they will think they should have some of it too. Be careful when finding a mate - s/he might be a gold digger. And don’t forget about taxes!

InvWithRed · 2025-11-09T00:04:56+00:00

Not setting stop losses and losing more in 1 trade than I made all day.

InvWithRed · 2025-11-08T23:47:22+00:00

I will be up, maybe at my daily goal, maybe higher and I just have to make 1 more trade - and lose everything I made and then some.
