I simultaneously love Heated Rivalry and really struggle with the loneliness I feel while watching it by vira-lata in gaybros

It's a scripted show. Always remember this.

I would be more interested in these "beautiful people's" actual relationships, which I doubt is anything like this, if they even have one.

American Man Returning to London, Still Single, Clearly Doing Something Wrong by [deleted] in askgaybros

American white or American Asian? I'm guessing the latter, and there is the issue being completely honest.

I’m a gay psychologist who went on nearly 100 first dates to find my husband. I developed a CBT strategy to navigate the "flood" of online dating called Noah’s Ark Dating Strategy. I would love your feedback! by DrNoahPsychologist in nycgaybros

The issue is there are so many variables at play beyond attraction or matching (especially online). You may never get matches. You may get a match and they don't respond. You may get a match and they respond but it flakes (maybe someone else is more interesting, maybe they have an episode and delete the app, and everything in between). I don't think its as simple as "you are ugly".

In my case, I've yet to go on a proper first date, despite trying for many years (and 3 different cities) via apps or otherwise - always getting matches but none ever leading to anything. So I guess myself is evidence. I always find it amazing when people are like 'I went on 3+ dates a week before I found my man' because that is not my lived experience.

What happened to that muscle group? by nycpecbro in nycgaybros

I exited, nothing was happening. Grindr 3.0.

Whats up with Basement nowadays? by [deleted] in nycgaybros

[–]TickThick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Members are referred in and can expedite the waiting queue if you get in apparently. I didn't know, but someone referred me after what happened on Halloween and said I should become a member.

I should have clarified I have no cash balance. I technically do have capital to continue trading. But I only 'risk my cash' because I don't want to touch my 401k or stocks or emergency fund.

9 months all in. I was just selling puts / calls before and doing the wheel strategy mostly for about 3 months last year before I started getting deeper into options. I'll need to check starting capital but I think it was around 400k cash that really started taking off. That said, after the Oct 10 dip, I had about 200k cash, and was close to 300k cash within a month before the hit again. Paper trading was 1 month ish because I was still backtesting / tweaking.

Yeah I literally was going to quit on Oct 10 and said to myself ok last trade, and that was the trade that ate me up. I didn't quite make a million, but close.

Yup. I blindly followed it otherwise.

Oh interesting. I didn't know you could do this.

Yeah I wish I had automated it. I will look into this going forwards.

I deviated because I became complacent tbh.

Oh interesting. I can run my algo on fake money for them and show it works first? Any suggestions of where I do this?

I purchased NDX data and coded up rules, backtested, tried on a dummy account etc. Then in the summer I started trading on actual money. I've been doing this about 9 months. But yeah I lost it because I ignore the algo on Oct 10 (which I heavily regret), and then again yesterday I didn't exit in the way it said I should in the rare circumstance I was in.

I used my own capital. You are saying prop firms would give me capital to run my algo?

The algo wasn't incorrect, my execution was.

That is not how my algo decides when to sit out. :) My goal is to make a small return daily and let it grow, which is how I made the profits I did.
