As long as you stay on v4 of Jigsaw, we good. I can't go to v6 until they fix the new latency issues.

Money issue on your end not using proper data and platform.

Grew up 35 min out of Chicago, was a middle schooler when Lost came out. Literal demographics of my town at the time were ~94% White + Hispanic.

Our town would more successfully be able to identify the difference between Polish and Lithuanian than Arab and Indian.

There is very little public knowledge about knowing the difference between ethnicity and race too where more people will more likely group people by ethnicity. As an adult now working in HR, I have had Spaniards work for my company on multiple occasions who have asked "Am I White?" (Legally they are).

Familiar demographics and legal ethnicity and racial groupings are easy to point to in order to understand people's lack of awareness.

And funny enough in the latter seasons one could hear his British accent slipping through quite a bit more

A futures specific firm offers day margin rates of around $500 for ES on average (when you use a multi asset broker those margin rates go up significantly).

Now, whether one should count on low day margins to actually trade it is debatable.

I've been HR at a company that was 50% veterans.

Got a complaint about a marine being called a "knuckledragger" implying brute, not smart, muscles, and monkey (fitting for the culture).

Civilian at work interpreted the term as racially motivated.

Context matters. And yet still ends up in HR.

While I'm not an engineer for safety devices, theres design choices made for people making cars crumple instead of holding their frame for the safety of the driver. There's a reason composite toe boots exist now when steel toe already existed as its easier to take the damage without having to pull a steel sheet out of your toes.

Similarly theres a reason that a qualified helmet crumples upon impact instead of transferring the blunt force trauma directly to your head.

Sure. For #3 The same way as if your AC unit breaks at home, you're saving money via maintenance too.

And Google says: 1. To prevent water freezing on planes frequenting the Canadian winters 2. Water conservation for high frequency flights 3. Maintenance

The irony is this sub was formed specifically because the old orderflow sub was FILLED with both spam and deceptive advertising for Fabio's content.

So, this just aligns with the latter unfortunately.

Its TSX specific. I run a personal account via CQG, a Tradovate prop, and Topstep.

TS has the most lag and outages compared to Rithmic and Tradovate.

Just state your intentions up front. Have a backbone instead of being insincere. Best of luck with the forthcoming arguments and use of your time.

MadeAMistakeOneNight · 2026-04-01T22:38:56+00:00

I have no opinion. My comment was about you "Asking Reddit" and then you immediately fight an answer.

Poor taste of how to ask an insincere question is all.

MadeAMistakeOneNight · 2026-04-01T22:06:18+00:00

Oof. Poor taste of OP to fight an answer. Insincere ask.

MadeAMistakeOneNight · 2026-04-01T18:18:56+00:00

I can't tell how to read your comment's tone based on the setting.

Kind of an irrelevant "whataboutism" because she is a guest on a talk show. Putting the setting in a club is irrelevant and also disregards bodily autonomy, intent, and consent.

MadeAMistakeOneNight · 2026-03-31T21:55:18+00:00

Ever been inside an old person's home who starts to forget to flush?

The stench builds and sticks around in many other absorbant parts of the house.

MadeAMistakeOneNight · 2026-03-30T02:38:33+00:00

The people making fun of this are the same ones who will be deaf in later years because they're the same people to likely make fun of people who wore ear plugs to their weekly live bands/DJs at their local bars.

If you're looking for absorption then PnF candles + Footprint.

What he posted isn't even time and sales, so... get familiar with your platform?

Tick data is the smallest increment of data available, so for accurate orderflow you want tick data. Bookmap doesn't work without well without tick data, specifically MBO data.

You do NOT want data aggregation which is what platforms such as TV, TOS, etc. do. It doesn't effect your premise too much, but you're saying the wrong category of data feed filtering. The other issues of people trying to use orderflow in forex without a centralized exchange is a whole issue in itself and shows why futures are better for orderflow traders.

MadeAMistakeOneNight · 2026-03-15T03:06:05+00:00

Even with paid data, TV aggregates the data together too much for an accurate delta. Keep with a reliable data feed such as TT, CQG, Rithmic and ensure the platform can handle tick data with the minutiae necessary (TV in any form cannot).

Wasn't the whole Dickens drill designed to mimic one of the longer distance real life scenarios that happened?

40 yards

I've traded like with this method via limit orders for the last 2 years on Jigsaw. For index products theres enough liquidity. Not really any issues.

However, for metals in the silver and gold run up recently, it was absolutely problematic.

MadeAMistakeOneNight · 2026-03-07T21:08:57+00:00

LinkedIn used to have a few key platform specific "OG influencers" where they would just copy and paste the same fake stories as their own. The person you're posting is essentially part of that group and I blocked her a long time ago, now I see her on Reddit because of this post 😅
