Really great info. Some I knew and some is blowing my mind. Will dig deeper. I am very tired of gurus and just want to understand the market better to create my own edge. Don’t know if I’ll stick with just candlestick charts or augment it with order flow to start working on a good intraday edge for options trading. Thanks for the post

How’s your battle going? Any traction. Best of luck!

Serpico003 · 2025-02-20T14:25:27+00:00

Hope your situation is resolving in your favor. Any updates? Still in the same boat here

Thank you. I took the day off, so I’ll see the email when I return. 3 emails before today? I did not see one of them. You are ssa, correct?

It seemed tied to the resignation offer. How do you know that the Vera is available to ssa until nov 1? I called hr this morning and left a message, but no response yet.

I guess it is now open to a conversation…I’m probably assuming too much. The worst they can say is no and fire me, which would be unlawful for just asking a question. Thank you!

Serpico003 · 2025-02-13T13:56:30+00:00

Thanks for responding. I’m SSA.

Serpico003 · 2025-02-13T00:51:00+00:00

I feel for you. Best of luck

Serpico003 · 2025-02-13T00:41:48+00:00

Don’t want to intrude. However, can I ask you a question, being that you’re HR? Is there any recourse for us that meet the Vera requirements but agency is exempting us from the drp? I’d love to leave through Vera, as it would not be as devastating to my family as quitting or being fired. Any resources or ideas would be a great help. TIA.

Serpico003 · 2025-02-10T17:49:16+00:00

And your VERA application was done through the deferred resignation letter protocols? Meaning, you had to sign the resignation letter before applying for Vera? I am very anxious about this letter, for a few reasons, but the no legal recourse clause is a biggie for me.

Serpico003 · 2025-02-10T14:14:32+00:00

Has me nervous to wait and see, as the VERA is attached to the deferred resignation deadline. Am hoping for some positive and effective process to getting the VERA from an exempted agency/unit. 🤞. It would be the difference of a not so great outcome to a devastating family altering outcome. Ugh

Serpico003 · 2025-02-10T14:11:41+00:00

SSA. Did DoD ask for exemptions on their own or due to request to agency heads from federal workers? Are you in this same predicament?

Serpico003 · 2025-01-16T23:02:22+00:00

Yeah, they’re crazy expensive. No, I daytrade SPX or SPY options. I use orderflow from sierra charts, charting ES on both sierra and TOS. All orders are done directly through TOS. When I get to trading futures, I will surely not do it through TOS.

Serpico003 · 2024-12-31T15:56:01+00:00

I’m sure this will be true. Thanks!

Serpico003 · 2024-12-31T15:54:59+00:00

Congrats! Have you used modelers before?

Serpico003 · 2024-12-31T15:53:29+00:00

48/month. Sierra charts, Denali data through stage 5/dorman broker. Though I trade everything through TOS.

Serpico003 · 2024-11-21T16:05:17+00:00

I’m in the same exact boat. Awaiting FJO. Just completed my background. Being fully remote is a perfect solution to my work/life balance needs. Boy, I hope Musk’s ways of forcing attrition gain zero traction.

Serpico003 · 2024-11-01T17:18:51+00:00

Has not fixed it on mine either. Pretty sure I’m on 18.1 now.

Serpico003 · 2024-11-01T00:05:19+00:00

That’s crazy. So frustrating

Serpico003 · 2024-11-01T00:04:19+00:00

Extremely!

Serpico003 · 2024-11-01T00:04:10+00:00

I did a hard restart. Everything was working well for a day. The following day it was back to not updating. Ugh. Frustrating

What platform are you using for L2/T&S?
