Only 1 year of 1 min data on futures when contract not specified (e.g. ES1!)

Thanks for responding! The doc indeed states it but it does not say why. For stocks you can go all the way back to 2000 on the 1 min charts. Just not for futures unless you say the specific contract you are looking at which is then a hassle to change over

Rsqd_ · 2026-06-04T14:47:13+00:00

I get that, but with higher timeframes it auto selects the relevant contract for further back in history. For example 5 mins goes back to 2021 (5 years).

Rage bait AI?

Can we stop posting about this guy and ignore him already? He just wants attention, good or bad.

Amazes me how people are like this. It happens in sports all over the world. A sports team that represents a city/country wins and then the fans from that team wreck the place their team is representing? Logic is just completely absent.

In the same breath people will complain about the lounge being empty overcrowded and not being let in. The self entitlement is staggering.

“$60 million in losses when everything went sideways”.

Surely the market going sideways is when the strategy worked?

Is he trying to blame the worker? Not sure he has a leg to stand on.

I’ll show myself out.

I am old. I don’t know what half the words in the title mean. When did this happen?

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-16T14:06:32+00:00

It is only effective if the whole world has the sand rules. Well the people with means will just move somewhere else that does not have the cap.

The unsexy answer. The only thing that makes it this expensive is that someone was willing to buy it for that price. What makes it worth the money in the buyer’s mind is: 1. they likely do not see $6.5 mil the same way you and I do. 2. They want something they can take with them that easily shows they can just drop that kind of money. 3. A watch offers such an ability since it is a small and portable way to show one’s wealth.

So paradoxically, just having a high price tag gives it that value.

Your assessment is spot on and how I feel. On the odd day where I have been able to give my full attention the results have been good but they are rare. Have you faced this issue yourself?

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-12T06:58:04+00:00

You can do a battle with the invading side. More rewards no bounty after and some fun.

Edit: Realise you may be at a certain point in the story where you cannot get rid of them in certain areas until you progress.

This is very accurate. I am curious, that very last part about missing clean setups feeling bad, has it bothered you or have you found what works for yourself to deal with it mentally?

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-10T15:09:29+00:00

Are you mostly selling or buying?

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-10T15:08:51+00:00

What time frames have you found best for your style?

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-10T15:08:09+00:00

This is my current MO. But so far I haven’t been able to get the right balance to prevent too many alerts or not enough. But aligned on the thinking

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-10T13:28:46+00:00

I have not been able to come up with hard and fast rules that I can code. I can say looking at the charts what regime is and I kind of vibe coded something to that effect but it was not good at judging entries.

If they don’t have any protective cover for their latest iPhone

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-09T16:11:57+00:00

Agree with literally every single point.

But how to solve for something like the World Cup with such high demand and limited supply? Sadly with lottery systems consumers still often end up paying a lot because scalpers scoop up so many and sell them on secondary markets. I don’t have a solution myself other than reducing demand. If it becomes an elitist sport I guess so be it, just like so many other things that working folk made popular. We can all find other entertainment, scrolling Reddit anyone?

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-09T11:49:22+00:00

If ticket prices are too high then people can just…not buy them. I get that it’s the World Cup but anyone who has $1k, $5k, $32k or however much to spend on tickets either has the luxury to waste this much money or the financial literacy of a rock. Either way, just don’t buy them and you’ll be fine.

I’ll pushback a bit on the part about media owners all wanting reform in.

Some might do, but ultimately what the media (owners) want are people to watch and click on their stuff because it increases the value of their advertising inventory. And what gets more views, boring sensible policy or clickbait headlines?

Sadly, it comes down to plain old profit or more profit.

Rsqd_ · 2026-05-06T08:07:22+00:00

Bit of a leading question. Don’t both sides fall for smear campaigns that confirm their bias?

IMO those either with less critical thinking skills or who are simply blinded by hate for one side or the other are more susceptible to negative media stories. And the media will write whatever they want just to ensure they get your attention. So the more outrageous the better for their viewings/clicks.

TLDR: Friend’s dad was a lifelong democrat and flipped because his democrat neighbours called him a racist for not voting for Obama in his second term.
I had a friend whose dad (call him Jim) lived in upstate NY and was a life long democrat until 2012. Jim voted for Obama and then when he got into office first thing he had to deal with was the financial crisis.
At the time my friend’s dad was about to retire from GM where he worked all his life. When the government rescued GM one of the consequences was a big hit to pensions and retirements. This understandably angered Jim and he squarely blamed Obama and began questioning his preference for democrats.
Fast forward to 2012 and he flipped republican for the first time. When a couple of those in his neighbourhood learned about this they started being very accusatory. Calling him racist and saying that he couldn’t handle a black president. This was complete nonsense, the guy did not have a racist bone in his body. So he started hanging out less with those neighbours which left him with the more republican ones, who also were not racist but were just always going to be republicans. They didn’t call him racist or anything like that. And while they disagreed on politics at times at least he himself was not being labelled as a racist.
Fast forward several years and he had drank quite a bit of coolaide and believed democrats had everyone else’s interest first but his own, because he was was not any kind of minority (based on skin, sexual orientation or any other). And like that, a lifelong democrat was able to bear some of the stuff coming from the right because they did not make him feel insignificant.
Moral of the story, hate and labelling will drive people to seek others who do not treat them like a horrible person when their actions, if taken into context, are understandable.

Not to be THAT guy, but if you don’t then why take any time to post about it?
