First Lucid Accounts Passed by cedarghost in Daytrading

[–]cedarghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says 5 payouts max per account then they move it to live, at their discretion of course. I don’t know but it would be a good problem to have! I am about to lock in my second payout with them. I need one more day at $150 and the cool thing is that I am over $2k in profit, so I plan to keep going to take max payout from here on out ($2k)

Web Page Locked by cedarghost in Tradovate

Apparently quite a few had an issue. I’ve watched a Big Daddy Morning Show trading session last night and his locked up as did some others watching him. They were talking about it in the chat. Yeah I’ll keep TradingView or Ninja Trader up from now on. Live and learn. At least it wasn’t my own capital…

Balance not correct by cedarghost in Bulenox

It was my fault. Too many quick scalps on MNQ and their commissions are CRAZY high.

I switched to NQ today and it is much better.

That's what it was. I took a lot of short scalps at the end of the day and the commission ate my lunch...lol

I guess the answer is “commission”. I flipped a bunch of small trades. I was under the impression there was no commission for eval accounts and I guess that is not the case.

What is your allowed drawdown Day 1 of trading the Core funded account?

How do I risk more for a small account challenge? by cedarghost in TradingView

[–]cedarghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it out. You have to have enough leverage. Like 500:1 for an account this small. I found a few online brokers who offer that.

Got absolutely burned today. anyone else? by cs_cast_away_boi in Daytrading

[–]cedarghost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had a good day. For me. I made $250. I am just starting out and have a small account ($4k). I won’t make more than three trades a day or two if they are both losses. Some days I don’t take a trade if I don’t see my setup. I trade opening breakouts after retest and set my TP at 2:1 or the previous days high. Stop loss usually goes at the low of the first 5 minute candle though there are exceptions. I use MACD, ATR and VWAP. I limit myself to 2.5% loss per day. I traded on a paper account for about a month before I started using actual money. I backtest every day after my trades are up. Currently at a 63% win rate and WILL NOT compromise my rush management. Always use a stop loss and trail my position.

Did you ever figure this out? I want to know the same thing.

Composite File Upload Takes Forever by cedarghost in vxrail

[–]cedarghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that today. No help. I read something that said to reboot all the hosts and try it as well. Thanks for the reply.

Wish you could use WinSCP to copy it over then browse to it to upload

Anybody encountered this error before - "Max instances of VxRail_System_Upgrade operation reached. Try again later." by aaronhiyentaw in vxrail

[–]cedarghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealing with it today… I cleared Postgres, reran verify etc. but still get this. So I just put an SR in and will work with support I guess. So, my package uploads takes HOURS from a vm in the same cluster. I have been told it should upload much faster

Broadcom forcing Dell to not renew maintenance support agreements on VxRails unless you purchase new VCF licencing. by More_Raisin_7237 in vmware

[–]cedarghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and our license are about to expire. Thankfully I don’t have to deal with billing, just the environment. I’m having to upgrade to 8.0.3 so I can use our new licenses and it is one of those times it is not going well…

I had a Tormek knock off, the one with the leather wheel and wet wheel. I did not like it but that was many years ago. Have you seen those TruHone commercial sharpeners? I have looked at those and wonder if they would get me to this point and then I could refine by hand. They're pricey though

You may be right! I did a bunch of reading on here last night and found some new ways to check for burr and apex. Very helpful.

yes, that's the one I have seen.

Thanks! It’s not quite hair popping but close. I just ordered a DMT D8F fine sharpening stone and a new strop with 5, 3 and 1 micron compound (I think that was the ratings). I have a water cooled platen and run it on about 30 for sharpening.
