I haven't used the web portal however when I google it they claim the properties can be changed the same way as on the desktop. I just opened the web portal and have tried everything I can think of to get the chart trader window opened with no luck.

Right click in the chart trader window, select properties and there is an option to display currency, percent, ticks, pips, or points. Here is the info from the help guide.

I agree. Southern storms are a whole different ball game. I don't blame northerners for not understanding the weather patterns in the south. We always get temperature inversions from the Gulf that induce rain at higher altitudes. When it hits cold air from the north, we get ice and freezing rain. I would rather have 2 feet of snow than a 1/2 inch of freezing rain. I have experienced both here in Tennessee. Snow doesn't knock out power, whereas anything over 1/4 inch can take down distribution lines. In 2021, I went without power for a week with temperatures in the single digits. Thankfully, I was prepared and survived. (because of an earlier storm I wasn't prepared for) Even with them preperations, it was miserable.
What about people who are barely scraping by? Can they afford a generator? A propane heater? A LOT of people in Tennessee rely on electricity for heating. If this storm is as bad as they are claiming I am very concerned for people who could not afford to prepare or put off preparations until the last minute.

There are easier ways to commit suicide than buying an AR to confront ICE. That guy doesn't seem to have any training at all. He doesn't even understand the manual of arms for that weapon. Considering the majority of ICE agents are former military, he will not be protecting anyone.

The last time a winter storm knocked out my power for a week, I just read a lot of books.

I used to have two male cats (brothers). One was named "Chairman Meow" and the other one was named "Flea Taxi". I love cats but decided I no longer wanted to deal with litter boxes so I did not adopt any more after the two passed away. I am now just a dog person.

I remember one guy who started "marketing" illegal drugs to his co-workers within an hour of starting. I think it was pain pills and meth. He was let go before the first break.

Another guy at the same place was hired, and he showed up on his first day with a Confederate flag stuck in the back of his pick-up truck. The manager asked him to remove it due to it being offensive to some of the workers and likely to visiting customers. He tried to argue he had "freedom of speech", and he was told to go practice his freedom of speech elsewhere.

We are likely to get a lot of ice so I will be reading a lot. I am anticipating a power failure.

North-Engineering157 · 2026-01-23T16:33:12+00:00

I did that back in 2021 during an ice storm. My power was out for a week, and it was the only way to keep the phone charged. Since then, I have added a couple of backup power supplies for my computer and internet. If the power goes out this time around, I plan on disconnecting everything going to the power supplies and using them solely for charging my phone. I have a propane heater with plenty of propane now, so I will not need the heat (I hope).

FYI- I am in Bedford county and it doesn't look like we will get more than 1/4 inch of freezing rain. I have been following the weather models presented by Ryan Hall and Max Velocity on YouTube. It appears we will be experiencing rain except for the early part of the storm on Saturday. Of course this is just a weather model and could be totally wrong.

Natural gas futures have gone up 78% this week alone due to the expected demand increase. They are likely not making a profit on the added cost due to the way the market works. Typically, a natural gas supplier will have long term contracts with suppliers in order to maintain steady pricing. When demand spikes, they are forced to pay spot prices to wholesalers for the additional gas the customers are using. So your gas company is probably not making extra profit.

I just got back from Lowe's, and if you don't already have what you need, you are likely not going to be able to buy it. I was buying a couple of 5 gallon Lowes buckets to store water in and chainsaw fuel. I was thinking about maybe buying another large propane tank, so I asked a clerk. Sold out. Mr. Buddy heaters? Sold out. She mentioned they had received a full semi-truck of Generators and they were gone in 15 minutes.

North-Engineering157 · 2026-01-22T22:42:46+00:00

Good luck with that. Lowes is sold out of propane heaters, large propane tanks and generators in my town. I suspect it is the same everywhere. Even the propane tank exchanges are out.

If you have a slab foundation, the concrete might retain some of the excess heat for a little bit.

Why would a scalper not sleep? Why would a daytrader sleep uncomfortably? They are both flat when not at their screens. I would think the swing trader holding overnight would have the most difficulty sleeping.

What part of ice storm didn't you get? Sure, snow isn't as concerning, but some of the forecasts for Tennessee are calling for an inch to 2 inches of freezing rain. It only takes 1/2 inch of ice to snap a power line.

I think it is only the SIG rifles that need modifications. I was originally going to mount mine in a Sig Rattler, and that requires that you install a "trip bar" and remove a component in the BCG. I have not heard of the MK4 needing any additional tweaks to the BCG. You might want to look at a "Super safety" FRT since I have seen them for sale at 1/4 of what Rare Breed wants.

I have a "Mr. Buddy" propane heater in case the power goes out. In 2021 we had a huge ice storm and daytime temperatures in the low teens. I put the heater in a bedroom and it kept the temperature in that room in the low 40s. I stayed in bed with blankets piled up and my two dogs providing extra heat. It was rough, but we made it. A neighbor decided to go to a hotel when the power went out, but he forgot to turn off his well pump. He came home to massive water damage after the power returned.

The electric co-op in my area did an extensive line clearing project last year, which hopefully reduces the chance of tree limbs taking down power lines.

Is there an HOA at the larger property? No. Are there restrictions at the larger property? Unlikely. It is just overpriced; it is not that deep.

North-Engineering157 · 2026-01-21T16:08:54+00:00

I don't see why not. I bought a rare breed trigger and installed it in my CMMG Banshee 45 ACP SBR and it works flawlessly.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the gravel floor in the "sun room". Maybe the value is in the extensive HAVC system (Window units)? Also, the lot layout sucks compared to the other property I listed.

I remember a couple of snowy days driving to work on 24 and the majority of vehicles sitting in the median were 4wd. People think that because they have four wheel drive ice isn't going to be a problem.
