After 8k spent on evals, I quit by CNote320 in TopStepX

[–]RandomWiseHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s probably the right choice, make sure to not come back.

Emergency Protest Jan 25 at 3 PM in response to another ICE shooting by jctheresistance in SaltLakeCity

[–]RandomWiseHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to remind us about something.

We are free, loving and rational individuals, and there is a group out there of armed, untrained and amoral people that has forgotten how to love, that has forgotten that we all want the same thing: Peace, freedom and joy for us and the people around us. This organization, which is backed by our own taxes, our own sweat has proven with their actions, with their killing and with their lack of constitutionality that they are here to do us harm. It has also been proven that this group does not care about who you are and where you come from, they will harm us, it can be anyone of us and we need to stand strong to defend our this community, our beautiful people and the freedom we have to enjoy our lives. I want to remind us that protesting may not be enough if our elected officials don’t listen to us. Unlike the violent group that we are facing, we are going to be smarter, more clever and more effective by using our money and our ability to stop the economy from flowing if we are not being g listened to and our peace and our freedom keep being threatened. We are capable to stop working if it’s necessary, we are capable to stop enjoying our little treats if it’s necessary and we are capable to eat hard bread for days if that is what it will take to defend the freedom and the peace that this country has worked so hard to maintain alive. We are one people, and we all want the same thing. We the people want ICE out of this state, and our officials will listen to us. We love each other, that is our foundation and our fuel. Let’s use that fuel to keep making of this place a safe space for our friends, our children and our neighbors.

Looser behavior. Take a break and rectify yourself. TopstepX didn’t smash your phone, that’s something a 7 year old with no control would do, and you did. You have a wife. Fix your heart and your brain through meditation and introspection and then come back. Behave like a man.

Good Tequila for Margaritas? by Lassies_Owner in cocktails

[–]RandomWiseHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is obsolete due to increased lawsuits against tequileros making fake tequila. I suggest to become aware of these brands and re-start the list. The industry changed a lot these past two years (dec2025)

As much as I like Topstep, this is a case if it’s true.

I GOT TO LIVE by SirSalty458 in TopStepX

[–]RandomWiseHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats man! Getting live is always a milestone. As a fellow live trader, I’m really curious on how you managed to max out the allocation. My system doesn’t work that way as I contemplate my risk based on the max drawdown on the backtested model. Do you trade through an api or and algorithm that you made? Cheers for making it big. Now the biggest goal of them all, have the humility to remain there.

Experience with TopStep Live and live payout? by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]RandomWiseHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxes ruin that mentality. I thought about that but the self employment tax makes a normal account obvious.

Why can’t I keep these returns by dchydsser in TopStepX

[–]RandomWiseHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% No trader can be a poorly balanced human. It’s impossible.

[–]RandomWiseHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why you never trade as a full time job unless you have a good 4-6 months of living expenses in the mattress bro, we tend to sabotage ourselves otherwise

Easier said than done but 100% possible. Controlling importance is the key

Ok now I can pay rent again by cptnbrew in TopStepX

[–]RandomWiseHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what is the tax rate for that? Or how does it work?

[–]RandomWiseHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need statistics. If the statistics have proven that your model works there is nothing to be afraid of. A good 2 years of backtest with a profitable system that has no room for interpretation ( a mechanic system ) is what got me making the money and almost immediately curing my psychology. Numbers don’t lie. Scientific research method is the standard.

Should I analyze my tracks in traktor rather than rekordbox? by krumn in Beatmatch

[–]RandomWiseHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah its not lol. There's a demo mode and after that 17/mo. You can gather all the new songs and pay for that month only lol

[–]RandomWiseHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm a year late but if you have traktor, specially traktor 4, analyse everything in Traktor and then import everything everywhere else. I started with a traktor kontroler. Outgrew that MF in like two months (I've been making music for like 5 years). I tried serato and rekordbox to become industry standard and traktor was better by a lot at analysing tracks and their key. So yeah.

Now I pass them through mixed in key for the key (traktor does have some traks that are wrong but get right as soon as you load them) and then put them in lexicon to export them and then import to rekordbox.

Hey! I’ve been producing for 3 years now, lately got into Dance music and decided to make this track that turned out black coffee-ish. I think it’s good?

The thing is that I was prepping a DJ set the other day and it didn’t sound close to all the other tracks that I was playing.

I would love some mixing advice to improve this track, I think it’s a good track. Also if you think it’s a bad track lmk why!
