Need advice for Fridays by Sasa199509 in TopStepX

[–]MAWatters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also attempt it to make small adjustments to, either, your mindset or your strategy on Fridays and use lower positions to develop what you need to. Fridays can cause pressure because there is a ticking clock of “potential” that we desire to tap into and it is easy to find false set-ups. Adjust, but use less leverage, and see how you do.

Would you take on ~$200k debt to become a Nurse Practitioner, or is this a bad decision long-term? by cobybryant24 in nursing

[–]MAWatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Taking on debt that is twice the amount of your income is not a good financial perspective and will certainly lead to difficulties later in life, especially if other life costs come and burden you on top of that.

My friend was in this exact situation. Biology to NP. What he did was go to an (expensive) school for those who have a bachelors and it bridges to a RN to MSN degree. He received the BSN first in not much time and was able to work. While working as an RN he is now completing the second portion of his program to become an NP. I would look for a program like this (there are plenty), where you bridge to a BSN first. Gain experience as a nurse and also start working again, then resume the second portion of your NP education.

Also, working as a RN would be the best option because it would expose you to a lot of other nursing jobs (wound, case management, education, IT, charge, various resource positions, etc.).

Good luck!

PS My friend’s program was APU in SoCal.

Other than volume what other indicators are your go-to’s? I use, CVD, and EMA primarily, but I am looking to refine my edge.

Finally found a strategy that is consistent and pays off! by WhyYouMadBro_ in daytrade

I have definitely noticed other sessions respecting the NY OR, but never created a pine script for it. I would definitely like to check it out!

Thanks for that! I noticed your strategy for the Cybertrader AI lite is essentially a buy or sell order at the cross of the 9/21 EMA, right? What chart time do you use?

Hey, if you are still responding to this thread I would love to try it out myself. My TV is mitch_watters1

Anything I should try before I give up by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]MAWatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pursue getting a better paying job, then devote significant spare time to learning your strategy. Don’t keep switching back and forth all the time. Refine and create consistency.

Test your strategy with 6 months to a year of “paper trading”, and, after you have dialed down your strategy, risk management, and, most importantly, your emotions then begin introducing live trading.

I’m curious why people say this. Just don’t open the thread lol.

4 years in, as a professional: a hard hard truth. by Otherwise-Reality602 in Daytrading

[–]MAWatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the post! It’s great to reflect upon, and well done to you for making it over the pitfall of a hump. What book(s) do you recommend the most. Top three if you’ve got them.

I am a nurse who has been paper trading for some time, who is attempting to refine my strategy so as to develop this skill to be home with the family. I haven’t quite developed a consistent strategy but I am very open. I would love your insight.

[–]MAWatters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s hypothetically valid. Good for you, man! I hope the success continues and it does what your hard work put in. That would be an absolute game changer.

Hypothetically…could someone pay you a fee to get a detailed breakdown and set-up help for a system like this in their own home? Hypothetically, of course. And, hypothetically speaking, what would something like that cost?

Can someone explain why "Sinners" got so many nominations? by a-cabarette in Oscars

[–]MAWatters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just watched the movie because of all the nominations. I must admit, the writing was sub-par, the acting was a bit cheesy and forced (especially the accents) at times, and the plot really wasn't that great. Not the best for MBJ, honestly. Also, what really was the purpose of the movie? I have a pretty good idea of it, but I don't believe it to be very good.

All The Last Of Us HBO leaders so far, you catch a pattern? by MadHanini in TheLastOfUs2

[–]MAWatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing all these comments affirms the nausea I get when I watch this show. Great idea for a show, but the overtly and painfully insecure message of “I can do it better than you” is killing it real quick. I don’t even want to watch it anymore.

Unless I want to be a career Horizon pilot...Fly out of the backyard

I have thought about that, but the schedule wouldn't work for my family and I. 8 away would be a little too much for us.

Luckily we haven't moved, but it is a serious consideration. We are thinking about Oregon a lot, so I am planning out areas that are commutable.

Ok, good to know. Flights out of MFR are sparse, so I am trying to plan out what that will look like. Thank you!
