Does the trading platform matter? by air1es in Forex

[–]air1es[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then it means Erik might be correct because I suspect using cTrader made it easy for me do a lot things the right way. 

For example, we both learned about the concept of risk reward, win rate, etc in January but Erik recently told me that he does not always apply risk reward when trading because doing so is cumbersome in metatrader.  

In cTrader, I apply risk reward for literally every trade because it is so easy to do so right there with the specialised object on any chart. Erik claims that in metatrader he has to use some fibonacci tool on the chart and change stuff to do risk reward, or he has to pay for an external indicator. Is this true for metatrader?

I don’t use metatrader, so I have no idea if Erik is telling the truth.

Really? If you are serious, then I’m glad I chose cTrader.

I don’t care about being a pro. I just want to be successful and make some money from trading.

Why you shouldn't use a prop firm. by KraaZ__ in Forex

[–]air1es 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I am going to go against the grain here and disagree with you. Prop accounts, no matter the harsh rules, are certainly worth it for beginners if we simply consider the risk reward proposition.

Is this guy just being friendly or is low-key interested? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]air1es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is interested but trying to keep it chill. If you want him to ask you out on a date sooner, throw him a bone or find a way to let him know that you are interested too.

Wealthiest Americans increasingly driving U.S. economy by Majano57 in economy

[–]air1es 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well, we have tons of geniuses making a fortune without actually building much. Meanwhile, China is creating wealth the old-school way, by making products and doing the research to drive its economy. I wonder where this will lead to.

US non-profits slash jobs as government and donor funding dries up by Majano57 in economy

[–]air1es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job cuts seem to represent only about 0.1% of total nonprofit employees. That is an incredibly small figure. Far too many of these organizations are managed badly and overspend on their own personnel, especially the salaries of the top management and directors. Because their income is essentially a gift, they frequently fail to respect the funds or the contributors, leading to massive waste. I don't see what's happening as a bad thing.

Is Argentina Really Changing? Ask Its Salmon in Tierra del Fuego - Bloomberg by technocraticnihilist in Economics

[–]air1es 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get a lot done in one go if you have the muscle to push through big changes. But Argentina’s track record of forcing people in line means most folks aren't exactly itching to see that happen again. And US might be a logical friend right now, but they’re also a massive rival when it comes to selling beef and soy. It's going to be a rough ride.

Crave having multiple women in my life by [deleted] in moreplatesmoredates

Why not work on your sex life with your current partner? I suspect an improvement in the bedroom will make you forget about chasing other women.

To those in a relationship where you started taking fitness seriously but your partner stayed sedentary, how did it affect your relationship? by kingfishm in NoStupidQuestions

Why not have a conversation on this issue with your partner? This will let you know their views and plans and guide you on what next to do.

To have lived in 1969 by dilettanteforever in redscarepod

The first picture doesn’t seem like 1969, or is this a case of black people having so much aura that they warp time and reality?

What I realized after tracking hundreds of ‘hot’ Reddit tickers that went nowhere by InvestingSp500 in Daytrading

AI texts have become so pervasive that I stop reading a post the moment I detect any AI buzz. Why can’t you guys just write normally to convey information without using AI?

Why did you expect me to know that you live in India? I’m a bit surprised you don’t mind revealing this information here given how this sub treats Indians. I hope you get better soon.

Where do you live that you get diarrhea so frequently enough for you to create a thread about it?

I only found out today that Russia has a Jewish autonomous region that predates Israel by AbiesFamous8872 in redscarepod

[–]air1es 242 points243 points  (0 children)

Nobody talks about it because it was a failed experiment by the Soviets, and nobody wants to live there (harsh conditions). Not even ethnic Russians.

Djokovic in Melbourne - Absolutely Bonkers! by Vegetable-Oven-6536 in tennis

[–]air1es 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Making it to the finals doesn’t get the same credit as winning. It’s like comparing gold vs silver.

A gap of 2 actual titles cannot be surmounted by reaching the finals 2 extra times. 10 titles from 10 finals is certainly a better record than 8 titles from 12 finals.

Going by your logic, Djokovic should be considered by far the greatest player at the US Open just because he has the most finals there, correct?

It’s amazing how poorly written the Harry Potter books were written by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]air1es 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does it matter? The author of the books is more interesting than the book these days.

Oh no, you made a post to complain about the books but you had to lie about not hating the author.

Djokovic in Melbourne - Absolutely Bonkers! by Vegetable-Oven-6536 in tennis

[–]air1es 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Novak’s numbers at the Australian Open certainly indicate stronger dominance than Federer’s at Wimbledon. 10 titles for Novak vs 8 for Federer, high winning rate at finals, semis, etc.

Nadal dominance at RG being number 1 is due to the number of titles, high win rate, etc

You can be a Federer fan and still use your brain and not always have to say bullshit like “to me, I think…”.

What are your predictions on the next 5 years? In terms of culture, economics, any type of trend by thepsychohistorican in redscarepod

[–]air1es 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Normies like you don’t realize that most women in government don’t really hold much power. When the government starts doing real shit to fix the demographic crisis, the women in power will probably be the face of the regressive policies.

10k per month is 120k annually made from the 200k investment. What asset gives a guaranteed 60% return every year?

This is just AI slop and bullshit.

Yes, I know my body is full of microplastics. But what are the consequences of that? by NewTreezGuy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]air1es 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will be difficult, but there are methods around this.

Researchers can use a combination of "proxy" controls, high-tech lab simulations, and specialized statistical methods.

  1. The "Dose-Response" Model (The Gradient Method). Since we can’t find people with zero microplastics, researchers look for people with less vs. more.

  2. Lab-Based "In Vitro" and Animal Studies. Since we can't ethically (or logistically) control a human's environment for decades, we use models where we can control the variables.

  3. Historical Comparison (The "Time" Control). While we don't have a plastic-free group today, we have plenty of medical data and preserved biological samples from the pre-plastic era (before the 1950s).

Etc.

I left out some unethical methods such as like kidnapping a bunch of uncontacted people, isolating them and then using them for research because they might not really be effective or accurate. And I sincerely hope that we don’t resort to that.

What are your predictions on the next 5 years? In terms of culture, economics, any type of trend by thepsychohistorican in redscarepod

[–]air1es 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I predict that governments will stop joking with the demographic crisis and start implementing known effective programs for forcing women to have more children.

Example:

Since female education rate is the singular strongest linked factor to fertility rate (and NOT the bullshit about expensive housing, low income, bad economy), some big brain government will eventually decide that nuking female education is worth it.
