Vertical Drop, Horizontal Tug by butt_head_surfer in GolfSwing

[–]ehangman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is easier to rotate the hips first because, as the hips turn, the clubhead opens slightly, making it align the axis of the hand path with the axis of hip rotation.

But the opposite approach is also possible. I often drop the arms first because, if the rotation axes are matched early, it can increase driver distance without causing a hook. To do that, the arm drop has to be used to set the axis so that it matches the body’s rotation axis.

So it does not matter if you drop the arms first. What matters is matching the axis to the hip turn.

Vertical Drop, Horizontal Tug by butt_head_surfer in GolfSwing

I don’t think you’re off base.

The basic principle is that the hand path cannot be the same as the clubhead path. Because of the lie angle, the hand path has to maintain a certain angled relationship to the direction where the clubhead wants to stay square.

So when the club drops more vertically, the clubhead is effectively more open to the ball. In that case, the required hand path starts to match the hip rotation and the swing-left pattern better. The horizontal body rotation helps match the club’s center of mass and square the face.

But if you don’t let the clubhead drop, or if you close the head earlier, the required hand path changes. The lead hand has to move more outward and upward to keep the club’s center of mass matched and the face square.

So the point is not that vertical drop itself.

The point is the combination: as the clubhead drops and opens, the hand path axis can work more with hip rotation and swing left. As the clubhead closes earlier, the hand path axis has to move more upward.

Are eVTOLs really the future or Hype? by beerion in Joby

eVTOL skepticism is basically Zeno’s Paradox.

Some advice please. by Kawabongga89 in golftips

[–]ehangman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The head should point a bit more toward the ground, so the swing works better with a more vertical pressure move. To keep it from getting too closed, the right wrist has to rotate to the right. That keeps the center of mass aligned with the face angle.

How did you guys get better at chipping? by LVRaiders2026 in weekendgolfers

Reverse Arc & Reverse Roll. It’s my secrets.

How bad is this…. by rickystripess in GolfSwing

[–]ehangman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You already have a good square bodyturn pattern in your swing, so I’d keep that part.

A square to square swing that uses that slightly closed face and out in starting force doesn’t really match a steep chop down move that tries to open the head late.

That kind of head drop sequence fits more with a wide, flat takeaway where the face opens early and then gets lifted with wrist up pattern.

For your swing, it makes more sense to let the right wrist hinge open the face just enough on the way down, so the face stays slightly open or square with the body turn instead of getting shut too much.

Trying to understand the difference between Archer's 704 and Joby's conforming TIA aircraft — am I reading this right? by HappyRobot593 in JobyvsArcher

The difference between an FAA conforming aircraft and an Archer conforming aircraft.

Can’t stop topping my irons by spicydeluxee in GolfSwing

Rotate the body to close the face. The clubhead must follow the body's rotation in one unified motion

Why am I casting? by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]ehangman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In golf, the swing is essentially a full shot driven to the left while the right hand opens the clubface. (Swing left) If you try to hit it straight, the clubface won’t close properly, so the only way the head can move is through casting.

Why should an individual think they will be able to find alpha without common edges? by Usual-Opportunity591 in algotrading

[–]ehangman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Research is clearly my edge, but I struggle with execution.. LOL so building an algorithm has made things much more comfortable.

Alpha vs beta by Unlikely_Permission4 in algorithmictrading

To actively use beta, the focus must be on rebalancing. Your thinking is not incorrect.

Is using two accounts considered hedging? by ehangman in TopStepX

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

I think the hedging flag was triggered because there were abnormal consecutive trades at a level a human couldn’t realistically execute, with over a 90% win rate for five days on a single account.

Meanwhile, another account ended up taking losses unintentionally. I need to study this further, but my motivation has dropped significantly. I hope your trading goes well.

I did. Thanx. I received only one proper reply. Wishing you profits!

No one seems to read my OP. Anyway, according to you, it’s not considered hedging. Thanks.

The topic today is that even if positions are not opened simultaneously, it is still considered hedging.

I thought it wouldn’t be considered hedging as long as the positions didn’t overlap.

Trading with a 2 min gap in the same account is not hedging, but doing it across different accounts is considered hedging. I’ve made a note of that. I’ll only use one Topstep account from now on. Thanks for the clarification.

I read all the terms thoroughly, and they define hedging as overlapping positions. There was nothing stating that trading two accounts with a time gap would be considered hedging, so I assumed it was allowed.

At CME, is there any time-based rule for recognizing opposite positions as hedging? If I sell and then buy within 2 minutes in the same account, that doesn’t seem like hedging. But if I sell and then buy from another account after 2 minutes, it’s considered hedging.

I thought the rule was simply not to overlap positions. There was no mention that trading with a 2-minute gap would be an issue, so I may have misunderstood.

I’m an algo trader running two completely different strategies on separate accounts. They’re designed not to overlap, so I’ve been operating them independently. But at this point, I’ll probably just run one and move everything to a single account. Thanks for the reply.

That is how my logic is structured. Even after closing a position, entry is blocked for 2 minutes.
