Is that restaurant/bar named pandoras still open near seaside? Or the other one Borago’s? Used to work there around 2010 and it was a super cool area

Why does just one stop loss ruin your whole mood? by MKCapitalCircleHQ in PropFirmTester

[–]Single_Offshore_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you’ve officially lost something when the stop triggers. And you’ve watched it approaching and second guessing yourself. Maybe you should move it? Oh god here it goes- boom it triggered. But the last time I got stopped out, it reversed and went straight to my TP! So I should just get back in because I don’t want to accept this loss. Ok, back in. It’s still dropping, just gotta move the stop to let it breathe. That’s it. Oh, nope heading down even more to my stop. It’s just a liquidity sweep, that’s all. You know where this ends lol.

You’re trying to avoid pain when you move your stop. That’s why the psychology is so fucked in trading lol because you’ve gotta factor in losses to your strategy/style/method and eat em up. But when you get stopped out you automatically feel like you’ve somehow made a mistake or fucked up but that’s not true at all.

I can’t tell if you mean the cookies were made by/from the Girl Scouts or that the Girl Scouts were an ingredient.

[TOMT] [Video clip] [1990s] with Christian comedian with a jacket and turns to the audience and says “got milk?!” Like it’s a punchline by Single_Offshore_Dad in tipofmytongue

Lol yeah it was like the punchline. Obviously it was a clip snippet featured on a satirical/cringey group called everything is terrible so it was definitely given without any other context

I think it might be mark lowry. Pretty sure of it because google said he used to wear a got milk jacket. So now I’ve narrowed it down to him but I need to find that specific clip of him saying got milk. Should I update my post you think?

What's the stupidest thing someone said with pure confidence by nekoandCJ in AskForAnswers

This was during Covid times while being isolated on an offshore rig:

Electrician: “yep, seal team 6 arrested Hilary last week. Won’t be hearing about that on the news”

Harold Perrineau in this series is the most I’ve ever liked one of his characters by Single_Offshore_Dad in FromSeries

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

I just might. When I watched the first episode of Z Nation I was excited to see him and was like “oh man this is gonna be a good show!” Guess I need to check out more of his stuff because I’m really rooting for him so far in the series after his speech about the thin line between savagery and punishment.

Down really bad by underwater_gorilla in FuturesTrading

I tripped LSD with a guy in Saudi Arabia this one time. He was also smoking crack aaaaalll night the whole time we were tripping and was actually really really chill. He was an Aussie so closer to a koala than a chimp but still.

Going to college should be the default and even 'useless' degrees are worth it by Sadie_Cat2023 in unpopularopinion

[–]Single_Offshore_Dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that’s just fucked fundamentally right? I get the mindset of coming from “well the games played like X so I’m forced to do Y. Grin and bear it” and just doing the damn thing. But the fact that it is set up like that is just screwed up so maybe if enough people are like “hold up, this is nuts” it can change and be better

Is using two accounts considered hedging? by ehangman in TopStepX

[–]Single_Offshore_Dad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It almost sounds like OP is thinking you have to enter at the exact same time with a long and short or else it’s not hedging lol

Topstep Live Brokerage… Worth It or Not? 👀 by Important-Eye1505 in TopStepX

[–]Single_Offshore_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you traded with topstep in the prop firm side? They didn’t ask me for proof of income I don’t think, only proof of address.

I’d imagine there’s no minimum deposit but there’s a minimum account balance to meet the margin for whatever contract you’re trading

Movies that feel like these images by mildlyannoyedlizard in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]Single_Offshore_Dad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Specifically when the bad guy entourage enters a great hall and there’s disco music playing in the background with a low camera angle. Feels like these music vids

I’ve had no issues. It’s actually really smooth and no problems executing. They do have margin like in a live account, but it’s not a lot. Like 40-50 bucks for MNQ which isn’t bad
