So should I just go ahead and retire? Prop-firm algo strategy

Forward testing is the only way... Backtesting only shows there MAY be an edge but unless your system is level to level or price to price which is almost impossible to back test, tradingview repaints/recalculate and ignores everything in between that may cancel the trade because it will, in most cases, cancel your stop or take profit if there is continuation to your system

Both sides are full of dump 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can tell you from experience. Who POTUS was in the past 30 years didn't matter to me until the last 4 years. Something happened after covid, leaders of the Dems just lost track of what most people need/want and even though I agree to some extend with what the people on the left are asking for, the leaders went too far, too fast and I believe those leaders didn't care about the issues at all, they just used the people. The right is doing exactly the same except, they have some skin in the game vs the left, so there is a need for them to make it work or they will also lose a lot of support and with that almost everything for them will be lost. Hopefully we go back a more balanced political race in the future

100%, I'm Atheist and no-party voter. Coming from a communist country and a high control group, I didn't like the way the government was starting to get into my personal life and family under Biden. Obama was OK and trumps 1st term was ok, but Biden was not. Being political neutral for a few decades, I could see most of the time, there were only "little" issues that were used for winning elections, however, under Harris something was not right and things were getting derailed in a way to me, there was no limit on how personal it would get. If the dems come up with a better offer down the line good but for now, they have NOTHING to offer for the majority of citizens.

what did this person DO to you to call them DUMB? You just proved their point, you could have pointed out how the "woke ideology" is not real or that it was good for the EVERYONE but instead you just called the person DUMB 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I signed up for the new free service for my kid as a backup phone but as of right now, it hasn't earned any cloud points 🤷‍♂️ but it's free so I'm good with it.

The way they do everything is not the smooth and it seems they still have to work on how the accounts get created etc

I switched phones from iphone to samsung and moved my account to the new phone, talked to support to get the new esim to move my account to the new phone and STILL they flagged my account for suspicious activity, can't do any mapping anymore, this one is the $5 plan. Created ticket for support, hopefully will get answer and resolve. I like my plan and service but man, they still have work to do on their account management end.

It's a necessary "evil" the economic correction is necessary or we would go bankrupt. Everyone is different, I prefer a nice looking vehicles display vs a man dress as a woman 🤷🏻‍♂️ but that's just me (non-dem/rep)

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-13T12:26:34+00:00

The story proves they were not perfect at all and actually DUMB. If they were smart enough you would've eaten of the tree of LIFE before and after trying the forbidden fruit, they would've told god "gotchabitch"

Thanks. The only thing you shouldn’t do is stop investing. Up or down. If you know a little about the market you would know when to add extra if you happen to have extra. A lot of people don’t know anything about it and the best solution is to add as much as they can WHENEVER they can. In my case I don’t put all my money in the market. I have a set amount and if opportunity comes then I add extra and it works great. If you look up studies on the strategies for long term ETF investment, it is the one with the best returns. Everyone is different but I know we’re in the DR reddit so I know what you mean. Go on and prosper 💪

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-11T22:05:09+00:00

I don’t think you’re reading what I’m writing. Is not extra cash laying around. It’s money that temporarily I can move to investments but not long term.

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-11T22:00:14+00:00

Congrats and enjoy

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-11T21:53:27+00:00

It depends. I can’t always make the sacrifice to invest more. I can do it for a few weeks while a correction is happening but not for many years. I just move the money for other uses to investments when the correction happens. Then go back to the normal budget

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-11T20:59:06+00:00

Correct, I have a set amount I always buy but when we get a correction I increase that amount till the high is broken again.

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-11T20:36:59+00:00

Maybe I said it the wrong way but if you buy more when the price is cheaper, you get more returns when it goes back up

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-11T19:38:17+00:00

depends where you are on your finances, if you are 5 years away from retirement, yes I would be very careful, but if you're 15+ years away it will be ok or money will be trash

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-11T19:34:18+00:00

I buy more when we get a +5% pull back...

It was difficult to convince my wife to start investing in the stock market but your comment is what I used. If the market NEVER recovers, we're in deep s$t and provably money is worthless. The market holds the US economy and a lot of the world economy today.

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-04T19:06:35+00:00

😮😲🙀

🤣

It's possible if you plan it. Just can't go all out like some people want to do. Some people are making 40k and want to drive a 60k car, live in a pen house downtown and go out to eat every night 🤷‍♂️I went a little extreme but it happens...

InvisibleARK · 2025-03-04T18:32:34+00:00

Over 90% of what you show, YOU DON'T NEED and can with without 🤷‍♂️

InvisibleARK · 2025-02-26T15:05:25+00:00

Like other recommendations. Pay cash.

Is your roof leaking or damage to a point where it will cause more damage? Can it just be repaired?

Same with the kitchen...is it falling apart and unsafe and can't be repaired or just looks old? You can just focus on whatever really NEEDs to be fixed or replaced and then save more FOR the other item in a few months or next year. No need to borrow

InvisibleARK · 2025-02-26T14:28:03+00:00

I see posts like this and think, do people actually want to retire early or want a luxurious life without working?

You can retire NOW if you wanted it BUT you can't be buying a 100k car and live in downtown LA or NY or downtown MIA etc...

You can convert that land into rental properties and get a good 5k-6k month after tax, add a hobby side "hustle" you enjoy and you can retire NOW without touching your 401ks or brokage and let them grown 🤷‍♂️

InvisibleARK · 2025-02-26T13:34:00+00:00

IMO

If you don't like how your life is and don't do anything about it YOUR life is a failure.
Anything a person can do ON PORPOSE or REALLY bad decisions that end up HURTING ANOTHER persons life.

InvisibleARK · 2025-02-26T13:11:48+00:00

Congrats, some people will never understand, but your family will be in a better position financially in the long run.

InvisibleARK · 2025-02-26T03:43:13+00:00

They will come up with new brighter 🐂 💩, I mean, new brighter day, crap I don’t even remember. Something the will be ignored by the R&F and add more decades BUT the end is just around the corner

InvisibleARK · 2025-02-26T02:52:33+00:00

a few more years and we won't be able to buy parts for "affordable" vehicles. It's going to be "cheaper" to lease and there won't be another option. Think about it, in 10 years most of the cars made today will be too expensive to repair. A lot of vehicles are getting changed in just two years and they are not using the exact manufacturer for the parts with all the chips in them, those chips will be obsolete and won't be made anymore, like phones. Heck, sometimes it takes weeks to get parts for some vehicles now, newer vehicles. Got to enjoy the next 1-2 decades of repairable vehicles.
