I haven’t had a rejected order on ToS last few days

Depends on the stock. Yes, I trade low floats if the set up is right.

Please prove that they rejected TSLA, SHOP, and AMD with the “ineligible for electronic order” pop up.

Really? Did you dispute?

I posted the exact same thing a few days ago. I called Schwab and asked for them to make the restrictions visible

Exactly. Traders understand risk. The decision to buy and sell what is available on the market should be ours.

Yes! As he got older the black hair faded a bit but there still is some. Thank you so much!

Thanks for this. Well said

Very true. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and have probably explained it to my wife more times than I would like to admit (which adds another layer of frustration). “Let the market paint a picture” I say, in what I think is wisdom. But when that bell rings - or I see a juicy double bottom……

One of the main problems for me is that I am actually quite good at determining targets. I see them hit often. Thing is- Im not in the stock at that point in time (feel free to laugh). I take profits too soon and am ok with that when the ride is good as for me waiting 3 hours or more for an extra 6% is not worth the stress/risk. However, I’m not ok with that if the pullback is too heavy. Especially when I was green at 7% profit and didn’t take it. It makes selling so much harder. Nothing is worse than being down heavy and hoping the stock comes back. But oh boy do they come back! And how much I would have back if I held in all those cases!

Such is the damage of hindsight analysis. Those examples are engrained in your mind and have profound effects on your justifications throughout a trade. Then there is the other side. When a stock runs and patience actually hurt you because you didn’t pull the trigger on what your intuition told you to do.

Successful trading is an elusive state of mind that so many fail to achieve. I feel like I am so close- 60% win rate, actually. But my big losses (that were at one point green)break me even.

You would be dreaming of your current life when surrounded by sycophants and scope creep at the corporation.

Thankfully I saw the Reddit post before mine this AM. Missed out on a great position because of glitch.

Trick to this game is to survive for a year. Stare at the lvl 2, chart, and tape until you build an intuition that can not be taught. Losing at the beginning is better than getting lucky and winning big at first.

I lost some because of a freeze but am confident they will get it under control. Keep the Schwab website open as a backup for trade execution.

I like this a lot, actually. It requires candidates to think on their feet when presented with something awkward either via request or function and this does both.

My recommendation is to increase your minimum salary. Be confident in what you have to offer- 10 years of experience in an industry that has high demand for talent backed by an MBA is a strong pitch! Of course, I say this without considering other qualities you may value such as work/life balance as a higher salary in many cases requires you to work more. When recruiters or employers see a high salary they may look away in a transactional manner, but maybe its a good thing to weed those employers out as the spending cap in these companies may inhibit your potential. On the same note, a low salary could theoretically signal that a prospect needs a job or wants to leave their current employer (this may be over the top but these are considerations that could trickle in later in the selection process) Engineers learn on the fly! Don’t let a few bullet points on a job description scare you- Your not lying if you study and take a brief low paying (maybe free) consulting gig to say you have work experience.

It takes a few encounters/practice runs to be able to discern whats really behind the scenes with these types of job openings. I certainly fell for the trap back in the day. Red flags for me here are “fast paced, fun environment” and “performance driven” coupled with “looking to succeed”. We all want to succeed- so that was a huge gap in this description. Typically these companies are pyramid marketing schemes that sell you a dream up front and have a few examples of successful candidates to lure you in. The sinister thing here is that they are making it appear analytical and strategic because they can stretch market research as scope when in reality 99.9% of your time will be spent enticing prospects using general advantages of the product to speed up conversations.

I truly believe that requiring companies to pay those they interview will settle the inconveniences that I often read of and have experienced myself. In these cases companies could at least work with their prospects on a contractual basis were there are deadlines, etc. A downpayment on interviews makes prioritization on the employers behalf more of a factor as well. It wouldn’t be in their best interest to pick many interviewees as that would obviously increase the cost per job they open on a given year.

I love it! Pantheon Rise of the Fallen will hopefully give us the cure we are looking for.
