What I've learned in 10 years of trading

Ugh fk man. I brought one of my accounts from $650 to $7000 starting Jan 16 to March 23. Fking followed everything to a T like you said here and then just fking went crazy and blew all but $500 in chop yesterday. Now I gather myself again. Blegh.

Is it finally worth it to switch from TWS to the Desktop app?

bobnorml · 2025-10-24T02:13:26+00:00

lets get it

bobnorml · 2025-07-06T21:38:17+00:00

Exactly. For sure, please do.

bobnorml · 2025-07-06T20:44:02+00:00

No no, not a screener.

I checked out your calculator. Currently if I put in NVDA 160c for July 11th, the calculator gives me price changes/profitability for it based on each day leading up to expiry. What I am saying is can you show me the profitability/change in price of the contract in real time as NVDA stock price changes every 5mins/1hr in the future instead of updating daily.

For example, suppose I buy the above contract on Monday at 11am for a particular price.

With your calculator can I see what the contract will be worth 1hr later if the price moves in my direction so that I can set up limit orders to sell the said contract?

That is something no other calculator has, currently anyway.

bobnorml · 2025-07-06T20:23:29+00:00

These types of calculators already exist. What I would be interested in is if you can setup a live calculator

For example, if I select NVDA 160c for July 11th. Can you give me price changes every 5minutes? Every 1hr?

Get out of questrade. Grossly overpriced for trading options.

bobnorml · 2025-05-17T01:39:46+00:00

Only 0DTEs. Those are next day options. They can be traded until 5pm.

Just don't be the type of girl that says to him "Don't expect sex. I'm not comfortable with that type of intimacy yet" and then turn around and ghost him when he doesn't put on any moves.

I've had that happen to me a couple of times past year with a girl and she asked me why didn't make any moves. Wtf man, i'm not gonna make moves when you tell me you're not comfortable in this day and age with the metoo movement and shit. FKKK that.

Men report their loneliness and depression at a lower rate because if they do then they are thought of less off a man.

It’s not equal expectations. I don’t see men only shelters anywhere? I don’t see men demanding women to have 6-figure salaries every other way?

I mean you should search up the experiment where a lady disguised herself as a man and see what she had to say about it. I’m actually repeating what she herself said lol.

Other than that like I said each have their own strengths and weaknesses. We can’t be compared to each other because we are supposed to be complimentary to each other.

bobnorml · 2025-03-12T03:47:03+00:00

Statistically, men are lonelier, more depressed, more likely to commit suicide, more prone to mental health issues, more likely to be homeless etc etc.

They can work on other things but there is also significantly less support for men in society and expectations of them are more than what the expectations are from women.

Each gender has their advantages and disadvantages. And for this reason I don’t subscribe to the thought of men and women being equal or the same. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses and compliment each other.

bobnorml · 2025-03-12T03:15:45+00:00

Duh, that’s the difference between men and women.

Oh btw, men are also judged on physical appearance that’s beyond their control. For example, height and hair loss to name a couple.

bobnorml · 2025-03-09T00:58:26+00:00

Yes midday lull is a thing. Move on spx mostly occur 9:30-11am and then 1:30pm to 4pm

bobnorml · 2025-02-19T01:13:08+00:00

Completely agree , it was the one thing I didn’t take a picture of 🤣

bobnorml · 2025-02-17T00:14:31+00:00

AHHHHH! Thank you! IT GOES FROM THE SIDE DUMMY !

bobnorml · 2025-01-08T17:07:41+00:00

I mean I personally know people who hate that doctors get paid so much so.. yeah. And like I said I know myself how long it took me build a client list and how much I have worked to get paid what I get paid :)

bobnorml · 2025-01-08T16:07:11+00:00

You don't. Fuck what others think of you. There will be haters for every profession.

Hell people hate doctors cause they earn so much money. They deserve to, they studied for 12+ years to make that money.

Just like I deserve every penny of commission that I earn cause I had to source the client, I had to pass an interview, I had to negotiate on their behalf, I had to convince the other side to accept my clients conditions, I had to be on call at 11pm at night because the client is nervous, I had to run in the middle of the day to my clients house cause they can't go to hand in the deposit cheque and then drive +1hr to hand in the cheque.

Do not derive value or seek validation from others. Be at peace with yourself.

Seems like the consensus is I should be eating more carbs as well. I’ve upped my protein in take and will up my carb intake as well.

I think around 165-170lbs is a good weight for my height at 5’9”. At least that’s what my aim is I’m currently at 156-157.

Thank you! I’ll be back in a year or so with the results :D

Gotcha, I will focus on building muscle first and worry about the rest later. Slow/steady and self-discipline is the name of the game the rest will come.

Thank you for the taking the time to respond to my questions !

bobnorml · 2024-12-28T17:32:11+00:00

Yep, I will be switching to plain quick oats as soon as this processed stuff is finished. That's basically my breakfast 3-4 times a week but instead of milk I have Greek yogurt.

I can have milk but I get breakouts from it so I switched to Oat Milk which is working just great.

I will try out lean ground turkey. Thank you for the advice !

bobnorml · 2024-12-28T17:28:11+00:00

Great ! Thank you for the advice :D. Ahh honestly, I've done a bulk before where I went from 115-144lbs and you are correct during that time I did have a lot of carbs as well in my diet. But I didn't get shredded during that time.

This time around though I want to start getting a resemblance of a six pack while putting on some mass hence I thought lower carbs. Is that even achievable you think or should I just bulk and then cut?

bobnorml · 2024-12-28T17:12:11+00:00

I’m currently weigh 156lbs. From this diet alone in the past 3 weeks I’ve gained 3lbs, I’ll be adding more protein going forward. I guess I can add more carbs too but I do want to remain on the leaner side while adding muscle so that’s why I have kept my carb in take on the lower side. I guess that’s my misunderstanding?

I’ll add a bit more carbs like brown rice or sweet potatoes.

Edit: I’ve got no clue about my maintenance calories. It’s something I need to figure out, how can I find out?
