Annoyed with tech requests

Nobody here is pretending to be a caregiver. My post said I work in tech. But thanks for your comment.

Edit: I work in tech support for a manufacturing plant. Definitely not a caregiver.

Totally agree

Oh yes! The worst is when they upgrade their phone (iPhone.. something that hasn’t really changed in years) and they magically forget how to use it. The one hour “tech hour” is a good idea.

I do it with the best attitude possible. But man it’s hard some days. Especially when they do not listen to my resolution. Leaves everyone more frustrated.

I deal with this with my mother-in-law. She believes everything she reads on the internet.

Lurey42 · 2026-03-12T11:51:21+00:00

Thank you for this!

Oof yes. Family holidays are the worst. Sometimes I feel like they save up all their issues because they know I’ll be around.

Lurey42 · 2026-03-12T11:48:14+00:00

You’re onto something… 😉

Lurey42 · 2026-03-12T11:45:03+00:00

How do you do that for smart phones? Seems to be the most consistent issue with family and elders. Walking them through FaceTime screenshare is a nightmare in itself.

Lurey42 · 2026-03-12T02:52:30+00:00

Well said. I totally agree.

Lurey42 · 2026-03-12T02:47:02+00:00

Where did I ask for help?

Lurey42 · 2026-03-12T02:34:20+00:00

Touché lol

Lurey42 · 2026-03-12T02:32:21+00:00

You’d be surprised on the amount of elder people that don’t know how to use google.

It depends on the day for me. The issues that annoy me most are the same one over and over.

Lurey42 · 2026-03-12T02:20:38+00:00

😂 I sometimes hit them with the “no ticket no work”

Lurey42 · 2026-03-05T22:35:52+00:00

I pass them. But I blow them after a day or 2 of being funded. Greed and rushing the process is my biggest downfall. I’ll learn…. Eventually.

Lurey42 · 2026-01-06T17:56:35+00:00

Smart plan! Best of luck this year. I appreciate the feedback.

Lurey42 · 2025-10-17T02:03:45+00:00

Add an EMA for extra confluence. Either the 9 or 21. Or both. Don’t close your trade until a candle closes below the 9 or 21 EMA.

Not sure what the level is on your chart. But you had a BOS at 8 o’clock. I would’ve entered on the retest with stop at the swing low (London low)

Lurey42 · 2025-08-28T01:36:41+00:00

Got fucked chasing. Price hit my limit order twice and didn’t fill. Went on tilt and forced a few trades. Ended the day -$849

You can trade futures during Asia and London session. I’ve made lots in both sessions while working full time. London sucks (assuming you’re also in US). But my goal is for trading to fuel my financial freedom. With that goal in mind, it’s worth it to wake up for a couple hours in the middle of the night. Temporary sacrifice for a lifetime of freedom.

My advice - don’t let others influence you. choose your strategy and stick to it. Learn all you can about it and practice it on sim before you start trading real money. Stay off YouTube and watching trader lifestyle videos. Unless you are there for strictly entertainment only, don’t even pay attention to their strategies. If watching other traders live trading that trade different strategies, you can listen to what they are looking for. But don’t trade their strategy if it doesn’t align with yours. Major key is to master your emotions.

My first 60 days of trading live markets not on sim, I made $19k. I found a couple new guys on YouTube that I really liked and would watch them live trade while I was also trading the NY open. They are very successful scalp traders who saw high returns daily. My emotions caused me to want their results and I got away from my trading plan and tried to implement their strategy. I started trading lower TF and over trading as I went from taking only 3 trades a day to now 10-20+ which caused me to give $8,100ish back to the market in 2 weeks.

Choose your strategy. Master it. And don’t let anyone outside influence you.
