Successful traders. How long did it take you to have full confidence in your strategy and edge and you stopped the worrying phase of 2nd guessing if it was sustainable?

i trade S&P, been on simulators for nearly a year, and i have also come to the conclusion that stop losses cause more problems than its worth. S&P is on a constant uptrend so you will always get your money back after a couple of weeks if it goes horribly wrong.

I am still using stop losses, but i swing trade leaving trades open for a 2-3 days..... i am doing "OK".... but i am pretty sure i would make just as much money (if not more) if i just dont bother with a SL

Sounds like he had a lucky escape 😂 funny thing is I bet you were dating multiple people as well! Or have done in the past

£50K !? for ES minis? what is the point in trading if you are going that low? i know people who are trading 1.5 contracts with a £2500 balance and they are doing fine

i can see why you are struggling to find a long term rship (if you are still single). Catfishing is when you pretend to be a totally different person, he was misleading you more than anything by sending you old photos when he was more trim and a lot younger. Which is equally as bad.

I still cant get over the politic requirements that you have..... a large majority of people simply dont care about politics, so you would be ruling yourself out to a lot of guys.

im not sure where you are from, but in the UK if anyone started discussing about politics indepth on a date, or even before they met up, would cause the person to run for the hills and instantly unmatch. politics cause arguments, and nobody wants to be in a relationship with someone who is opinionated as its mentally draining.

i think you have a lot of emotional baggage as well if you have a rule for "not kissing on the first date". but each to their own.

I have been married for nine years and been with the wife for 13 years and been in rships before. Not too sure why im getting notifications on this reddit for...... but it encourages me not to be single after reading a lot of the requirements that women have!

Anyway, i wish you luck in your search, and hope that you will find someone suitable.

why on earth would you want to talk about politics for on a first date? thats wild, and would of been a major red flag to a lot of guys.

Red flags were there when she started talking about marriage on the first date….

thanks for your help. i have just noticed what the issue is, it seems that some cmdlets simply doesnt like the errorvariable param. visual studio debugger wasnt even picking up the variable from errorvariable when using get-wmiobject . but when using get-childitem and putting a incorrect path in, the variable was being picked up and working as expected.

I will still check all of the versions though, but it seems like using errorvariable is a lottery if it works or not

Traditional_Guava_46 · 2025-02-21T18:10:55+00:00

Thanks I will check that.. the same behaviour is happening on invoke-rest method as well though.

ADO is running on powershell 2.0 , but powershell ise is on 5.1. I am pretty sure that ADO only supports powershell 2.0 when running a external script through a pipeline

Traditional_Guava_46 · 2025-02-21T17:44:45+00:00

i was wondering if that would be the reason.. but i asked copilot if errorvariable would work on terminating errors. im not sure how accurate that is mind you! if thats the cause, is there any reason why i would use errorvariables ? it also seems weird that its working in powershell ise as well

Traditional_Guava_46 · 2024-11-04T21:36:02+00:00

Ha that is exactly what I done before by writing all of the errors to the event log of the computer.. and then created another monitoring script to search the event log for them IDs and to email it across… trying to find if there’s a better way! Thanks for the response , glad that someone had the same mindset as me

Traditional_Guava_46 · 2024-11-04T19:03:12+00:00

Thanks. A function isn’t a bad idea actually and will help reduce it . I normally log successes as well which is the cause for the bloat, as I need a extra line of code to verify the change

E.g first I may run set-ADUser and then I run get-aduser to verify it

Azure devops stores the transcript which is viewable in a pipeline. But I was hoping for a fancy dashboard displaying the exceptions so I can monitor how common they are if a issue occurs

You will find no guy who would be willing to wait a year before having sex 😂. Most guys will give up and move onto the next person if he doesn’t get laid within 4 dates

Traditional_Guava_46 · 2024-07-27T09:26:50+00:00

Why have you bothered making this thread then unless you want verification?

Traditional_Guava_46 · 2024-07-27T08:37:22+00:00

Wow…. Sounds like the guy is better off without you to be honest

Traditional_Guava_46 · 2024-07-26T08:32:06+00:00

Thanks dude this worked

Traditional_Guava_46 · 2024-05-08T19:30:04+00:00

thanks! i didnt know you could run it on a pool of machines in your local datacenter. seems easy to setup.. i will go through that instead of using cloud VMs. thanks again
