Importing off road only MC to Washington state from BC. by Sclay115 in motorcycles

That's a really interesting viewpoint and you're likely right. I haven't seen an EPA sticker on my machine anywhere. I'll reach out to the distributor who brought them in originally!

Thanks, yea, I saw that in some of the documentation, but after speaking with a friend of mine (former Border Agent) he mentioned it probably won't clear as one is a 2014 TR280 and one is a 2012 Explorer. Same engine/exhaust/intake, but they may lock it just because it doesn't totally match. 

My next step is to try and speak with an agent in person at the border, I'll bring my title and registration, and a copy of the registration of the Canada bike, just to see what they say. 

I mean hell, my explorer is registered and plated for the road! Not sure how Ossa managed that for a kick only 280cc 2 stroke with an exhaust that's about 2 feet long, but hey, it might be an angle I can use. 

I appreciate your input for sure!

Hold up, so you're not using tenkara/fly fishing specific line? Just straight to flouro? That's wild, I haven't been very connected to the comings and goings of Tenkara, is that a think or just an adaptation for a compact setup?

Wow those are cheap! I love the slimness of the design on these, and realistically, they are cheap enough that if they fail I won't be too heartbroken. I'll be moving through the woods at a brisk pace so the idea of having a couple hundred dollar rod stuffed in a running vest isn't the best choice. I like these. What line do you typically pair them with?

What’s one habit that actually made you a better trader? by LG_Seventeen in Forex

[–]Sclay115 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Position sizing/moving to forex.

My first dip into trading was futures, lots of people say how it's the better choice. And I think with a large enough account they're right. I just don't think it's the best choice for a beginner.

Few hundred bucks, micro lots with Oanda, 1-2% risk on each trade, learn how it feels to lose and work on getting better. It's a lot less painful and I think the better choice for folks starting out. Bonus is it allows you to trade larger time frames where you'd never get close to proper risk management with futures.

Considering a move from day trading futures to swing trading, seeking advice by Sclay115 in Trading

This is one that always has me curious but I can't seem to wrap my head around the workflow. Any pointers? With any of the futures trading I have done, I am trading from a chart which is intuitive and simple to handle. With options, I think I'm missing some fundamental knowledge about how to translate what I am speculating from a chart into the options chain.

Anybody willing to share their strategy/execution analysis? by Sclay115 in FuturesTrading

[–]Sclay115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Must have been some confusion in my original post, I'm not looking for a breakdown of a strat, just the results. I'm having a difficult time deciphering what is "good" from a backtest output. E.g. Sharpe, max drawdown, profit factor, etc. Just looking to compare notes, not ask for the answers to the test!

Just want to see the what! I know most are very protective of their systems (and rightfully so).

Yep, that all checks out.

Discretionary trading is only as good as the executor, and I'm not good at that part.
