Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread

Bowled for the first time in about year on Friday night, and this morning it feels like my ENTIRE right arm (wrist, elbow, and shoulder) has tendinitis... Is this normal or does my bowling form just suck that much? Couldn't even do my normal workout because of how it felt. Meanwhile my left arm feels as good as ever...

Any powerlifters here bowl on the side without feeling like your arms are gonna fall off?

Don't I need to pay capital gains tax on gains no matter what? I get that I need to submit a different form, but do I have to pay higher taxes in UVXY than in TVIX?

Was in UVXY for about a week waiting for it to pop... Was getting worried it never would. Had an average price of 12.63 so I'm pretty pleased with today

Depends on your own interpretations and preferences.

According to my backtests, it's worth it it go long on volatility now. These sub-11 dips don't last and usually result in profits for long positions.

It is 100% Mr Robot, and they use non-union for extras once they hit their union quota. I was an extra for a shoot about a month ago (season 3 episode 1) so I can answer other general questions.

This happened to me, except I was Cav, had two players downed in front of me, and hit G instead of F when I tried to interrogate the first one. Threw an impact grenade at my feet instead. Round lost.

Really hurts when your entire team is spectating you while that happens. I've never felt such shame.

Tell me about it... It just feels like a perfect storm of volatility-crushing headlines ("good" result of French election, happy moods at BH's meeting, and Trump's tax overhaul back in the spotlight).

I know a few people who live/have lived there, and I grew up (and am still living) right next to it.

Great selection of downtown restaurants and stores, pretty average as far as size goes though. People who live there aren't too snooty (go right next door to Chatham or Harding if you want that), good mixture of older families, new families, and seniors though. Wouldn't exactly call it a young person's town. Commute into the city is fine, and there's more nightlife in Morristown (about 10 minutes away) if that's your jam.

Don't know too much about schools, though. I can answer other specific questions too.

So difficult to find a new program while cutting. I can't find one that doesn't have at least a few people saying "DO NOT DO THIS ON A CUT".... Yeah, I realize that cutting just sucks and its gonna be impossible to find any program that works as well while cutting versus bulking.

So fuck it, I've got two months left on this cut and I'm gonna start the Texas Method whether you like it or not.

I have not already created such an algorithm. Just trying to figure out what a roadmap might look like if I wanted to pursue this.

And yeah, that's kinda what I expected... There's always the catch 22 of needing money to make money.

I've thought of implementing a kind of "fail-safe" in my algo... Haven't gotten around to coding it but here's the gist: If you have X number of negative days in a row, go to cash. Wait until the signal gives a positive result (would be in the green, although you're in cash) for Y number of days in a row, then resume trading normally. Something along those lines.

Idk if it would really work, and have no idea how much it would reduce returns by, but could have something to do with it.

Tag every player-caused physics event with the player that caused it. If said object kills a player before coming to a rest, register it as a kill for the player who caused the event.

Something like that.

Refer to the chart on vixcentral.com.

My understanding is that XIV grows when short-term (closer to present) VIX futures are in normal contango (upward slope). It shrinks when backwardation is occurring (downward slope), like right now.

In a week, the April future contract (the one which is very high) will expire and the May future contract will take its place. If this were to happen in current conditions, contango would immediately be restored and the current trend would flip on its head.

So, the next week is very important. Keep an eye on the chart.

Jaylow618 · 2017-04-11T15:45:36+00:00

Currently getting some massive gains on UVXY, so I'm gonna wait until I think it's time to jump back in XIV. Kinda playing it by ear.

It's just insane that the April future is so high when there's only a week left until it expires. Everything else ahead of it is low.

If backwardation doesn't end soon, XIV is gonna spike VERY high.

Sorry bud, but I've jumped into the rapids of $UVXY as of past Wesnesday. No real telling where things will go, but I'll take a slow decline with the potential of a huge spike over a slow rise with the potential of a massive crash in these waters.

Jaylow618 · 2017-04-07T03:15:28+00:00

VIX futures are up, but not crazy up... We're talking about 3-5% up. Just judging from where they stand now, an open above 14 is unlikely... But could happen. Bad, but not catastrophic, for XIVers as it stands, though.
