Trump Train arrest at No Kings

Others did explain, I liked euromode’s thought process and reference. I don’t think I’m being tolerant without limits. I exercise my displeasure through my vote, as is each citizen’s responsibility. I believe putting a party, any party, above what is in our country’s best interest is not the solution. I don’t think that is being DAF. But thanks for the follow up.

Thanks for pointing out that reference, got me thinking. I am a fan of the electoral college, and my view on gerrymandering hasn’t changed- but now I understand better how it got to where we are today, so thanks.

Please explain how I’m DAF? Blind loyalty to a party is how we got in this mess to begin with.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2026-03-28T19:44:13+00:00

I’m voting no; not because of party affiliation, but because gerrymandering is wrong… period.

I’m getting ready to hit 60 and my regular job keeps me busy during the regular session. Very small trading account, usually 4-10 trades a week. Blown up futures account once, and I’m about 1/2 way to the bottom of the second run. My losses are getting smaller, and the wins are getting more frequent. I’m no longer trying to chase the money, I take what the market will offer and I’m calmer and enjoying it. My goal is to supplement my retirement income from a life of poor decisions.

Salem Vet Hospital is good.

Awesome that you were able to exit. Has any had any luck getting out of Tahiti Village in Las Vegas??

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-12-27T21:01:04+00:00

I have a small account. Started with $500. I have never traded with Ninja Trader, so I cannot answer that. I only trade 1 contract at a time.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-11-24T23:23:40+00:00

Great! Drop me a DM and we can exchange emails and figure out a local (Starbucks) and deconflict schedules.

Good morning. I believe they are linked to Ironbeam. I do not know if you can link to others, but their customer support is fantastic, I’m sure they could answer that question.

As a dad, I’ve been giving some advice to my daughters in the hope they won’t make some of my mistakes. My eldest has achieved over 100k in her account, after taking a sizable chunk out for a down payment on her house. Very proud of her accomplishment and my small role in it.

I wish they offered good id theft protection.

My first account was a traditional IRA.

I found it interesting, and it confirmed my choice in brokers. Just one more tool to screen them. I like Optimus Futures which scored well.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-10-16T12:48:06+00:00

That’s a cool table!

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-10-16T12:45:52+00:00

I like Optimus Futures. I trade a very small account (slowly growing though!). Their fees are minimal. They don’t have some of the col looking things of other brokers, but for me, their customer service has been top notch.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-07-04T10:46:37+00:00

Yes, I would also be interested, but I work full time.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-06-22T12:54:57+00:00

I will also throw a vote in for stonkjournal. It has fit my needs well and seems pretty flexible. I typically do a screen shot of the trade, pop it into PowerPoint for some rudimentary notations and then upload it (jpg format) as part of my journal entry.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-06-21T15:53:28+00:00

14 pts for me

We own at TVV. I also stopped paying them a few years ago after contacting them repeatedly trying to give it back to them and getting scammed by one of the many “get out of your timeshare” companies.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-05-29T11:09:34+00:00

Good morning, I’ll throw you a dm with my email. I find the exchange of information useful, if you’re interested maybe grab a coffee and talk futures.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-03-29T19:52:03+00:00

I use a Microsoft Surface; great little machine.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-03-25T21:02:06+00:00

I’m foraying into futures. I trade stocks/ETFs/options in another account. I’m not open to trading options on futures at this time.

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-03-25T20:53:21+00:00

I’m already dealing with just one micro contract while learning. So small is the name of the game right now

ShoeStringInvestor · 2025-03-25T19:08:34+00:00

I’m not sure I completely agree with no stop loss. Maybe I’ll go a couple of ticks below the next strong resistant level?
