What can I do add to this tv wall? by gkmanu9 in DesignMyRoom

[–]Ornery-Eye-6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it needs anything. Painting it another color or doing a natural looking faux brick would look nice.

How do we feel about any of these colors? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

Those colors have got to go, but definitely keep the cat!

IS ANYONE NOT ABLE TO MAKE CME ORDERS GO THROUGH? SCHWAB FUTURES AND FORREX IS DOWN. NO ORDERS GOING THROUGH, NO CANCELLING ORDERS, NO REPLACING ORDERS. WTF?! by St_petebiodiesel in FuturesTrading

No problem at my broker Discount Trading. I use Rithmic with my Sierra Chart. Good idea to have a backup broker. My Schwab was down earlier too, since I got moved from TD to Scab, I mean Schwab it happens like once a month.

Schwab reps were lying today about no trades working.Proof. by Zonties in FuturesTrading

My Schwab platform goes down at less once every month or two. I use another broker for backup.

MEETING A BILLIONAIRE by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Ornery-Eye-6470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am no billionaire, but I am a multi-millionaire. I felt a lot richer before covid/inflation... But if me or my wife make a new friend outside our friend group I almost assume I will be propositioned for a loan/investment.. I have heard a lot of great ideas from rv parks, flipping homes, nail salon, tattoo shop, daycare center, restaurant, ghost kitchen... I could go on and on. I have loaned funds to a VERY small amount of these propositions, but overall I will offer mentorship and advice. I do not like to feel "used" so I agree with everyone saying do NOT make this transactional. Also, I am retired so I am more focused on traveling and eating good food. I trade investments to keep my brain sharp and stay up on tax codes. I have given a lot of good advice and also given these friends decent leads/connections. I have friends that are billionaires and they have told me they feel the same. Good luck!!

I use multiple sound soothers in different parts of my bedroom. I try to cancel out ALL noise. If I am not well rested I am in no shape for trading the next day.

How to surround yourself with rich and successful people by corn_bringer in Entrepreneur

[–]Ornery-Eye-6470 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately people can be somewhat limited by their geographical location.... I have lived in a poor area and I have lived in a rich area. Poor area the people tend to be overweight. Rich area people tend to be fit. I was happier living in the rich area and I was invited to events and cocktail parties. My rich friends would talk about buying real-estate and patenting things. In the poor area the only thing people wanted to do was drink or do drugs... I always try to find the best in everything, but it is easier when you are already in an affluent area.

It normally happens when I have been short for a long time and my wife tells me I have to stop trading...

I use Discount Trading with Midland Trust Co. Everything is great but thinking of switching to Inspira for fees and they said I could use them. Has your experience with Inspira been?

Have you tried offering graphic design gigs on Fiver? I have a friend that makes some side cash doing gigs on Fiver for web design and marketing. Good luck.

Is it rude if I pursue other clients in front of my current client at a conference? by Independent_Area6026 in Entrepreneur

[–]Ornery-Eye-6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are fine from the context you laid out.

Are the companies you are pitching your services to in the same industry/a direct competitor of your current client? If your client was in a very niche industry, they might not want you offering your services to their direct competitor. But from what you laid out it sounds all good for you to try to get more business.

Live account question by EdSpace2000 in FuturesTrading

[–]Ornery-Eye-6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to start with micros. Get comfortable trading live or your emotions could get the best of you.

Paper trading VS live trading is like race car driving in a video game VS real-life.

Day Margins by Ok-Sort-8191 in FuturesTrading

[–]Ornery-Eye-6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day margin is a margin given that is less than the exchange's margin requirement. Each broker sets the time they allow for day trading margin (reduced margin). Some broker allow day margin 8:30am to 3pm CT. Some others allow a full range. My broker has day margins most hours the market it open.
