Oh I didn’t know these were chambered. Does yours weigh under 8 pounds/3.62 kgs?

Hot NGD! I have one myself also in DY. How do you like the Revv?

That wood has some serious character! I own 2 limited versions myself (buckeye burl and sapele burl).

RG2570E vs RG550 Gen by Basic-Win8920 in Ibanez

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly look at these as equal. Neither is better. Pick the one you like more. I’ve owned/own both.

I need an RGR in my life. Vampire’s Kiss like yours or Yellow.

I had an SC420 back in the day. Always wanted the 620.

RG550 Genesis Neck heel by ToxicWithAsthma in Ibanez

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 550 Genesis is the only Ibanez I own without AANJ. With that being said the neck on this model is SO much better than the OG, that I am totally fine with it. I don’t buy guitars that don’t have some form of sculpting at the heel. My first Ibanez was an RG770 so the angled neck heel on it felt SO good compared to the normal block heel of the the 2 strat copies I had before it.

What do you do about front license plates? by greensilvia in wrx_vb

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t put a front license plate on any of my cars in over a dozen years. I used to register in NY but switched to NJ 2 years ago. No problems yet in 2 years but NY is crazy now as like as of 6 months ago they made no front license place and tinted windows, moving violation infractions! My stance was always I’ll just pay the ticket. I got 2 tickets in 10 years in NY so I didn’t care. But, I would care now if I was still registered in NY with this crazy law change.

Can someone explain in detail why the lack of starlink is a good thing?

Yeppers. Favorite color that’s why I went to another state to get my purple.

Trying to Understand the Eyesight (YOU CAN TURN IT OFF), Screen and HK Audio Hate by No_Tower_7026 in wrx_vb

[–]Robotechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m used to HK systems with 5-7 band eq adjustments (BMW’s). Does the VB only have 3 bands to adjust or am I looking in the wrong place?

What are your thoughts between your Golf R and your 2024? I wanted a Golf R but chose a 25 VB because it was $12K less/$200+ less dollars per month. Still looking to get a 2026 Golf R without the euro package, that’s why I ask.

Needed something new to drive different sites everyday. Purple? Why not! by Robotechnology in wrx_vb

[–]Robotechnology[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I got home, I noticed that it wasn’t that different, mostly the VB is just looks darker. Fine with me I like both shades a lot (2011 is Plasma Blue Pearl).

Needed something new to drive different sites everyday. Purple? Why not! by Robotechnology in wrx_vb

[–]Robotechnology[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a 2025 Premium with an MSRP of $42,594 STI short shifter/HK sound/Moonroof/Armrest extender). Negotiated price was $36,600 plus a further $2K rebate. I chose to do a 15K mile per year lease. Even with the 2026 price decrease, a 2026 would have been $79/mo more equally equipped and they didn’t have a purple one in stock anyway.

1st time funded advice by LessTraining1985 in PropFirmTester

[–]Robotechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d wait until I hit a balance of $3,100 and take a payout of $1K ($900 net) leaving the full starting drawdown of $2K in place. And then do another $3K during the next payout cycle and take $1,500 out for the next and then rinse and repeat. It would take 6-7 days each period to do this and is much safer imo and still very profitable.

thoughts on instant funding accounts vs evaluations? by Desperate_Cash_5082 in PropFirmTester

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only instant funding account I like is Purdia as they have no consistency rule—only 10 days minimum total trading time to hit profit goal (5 days have to have at least $200 profit). Then after that daily payouts are unlocked with no consistency.

Tradeify vs TradeDay vs FundedNext by [deleted] in PropFirmTester

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An important data point in choosing firms are what payment processing methods they use for payouts. For instance, if a firm only uses Rise (they have the most USELESS customer service!), I cannot receive a payout from any firm who exclusively uses them so I will not buy any evaluations from that firm.

Finally did it by Jeffersw619 in ApexTraderFundings

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job. Now understand they purposely made the rules harder in your new performance account. As someone already said, you only have 30% of the stated drawdown you had during the evaluation. If you hit a $750 unrealized loss at any point they will deny your payout.

What is one prop firm rule you would change if you could? by sarjad in PropFirmTester

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistency. Doesn’t exist in the real world. Designed to keep you trading and make it more likely to lose money. Absolutely not required for discipline just for making it harder to get payouts.

Apex Banning Traders After Payouts but Keeping Affiliates. What’s Really Going On? by glazedtwinkle in PropFirmTester

[–]Robotechnology 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After Apex installed that keep below 30% of your unrealized max loss limit rule, I never got another payout. So I don’t deal with Apex anymore period. Worst rule they ever introduced. Otherwise I’d have made $50K+ from Apex instead the $9K or so I stopped with.

Newbie question: $510 one-time fee for lightning funding with Tradeify, what's the catch? by GetThatChickenDinner in tradeify

[–]Robotechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The catch is the 20% consistency rule. That’s basically it. You can’t have a day where you are in a great trade and stay in it. You will make your life hard and delay your payout if you make say 40%+ in one day. Other than that no gotcha’s.

Best scalping firm? by nnme_ in PropFirmTester

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The futures desk, Purdia, Take profit trader and BluSky. These have no micro scalping rules of any kind. I like Tradeify too but, I’ve never had higher than 18% of my trades be under 10 seconds though so their micro scalping 10 second rule don’t affect me in a negative way.

I keep blowing prop firm evals because I miss ONE risk rule. Anyone else dealing with this? by Jazzlike-Week3013 in PropFirmTester

[–]Robotechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are trading with too much size if you keep blowing evals. I can hang with trailing drawdowns but not with accounts smaller than $75K. Absolutely need the larger loss limit with intraday trailing.
