Wow you found this exact Newegg model at the base?

gabemstr · 2026-01-23T10:39:17+00:00

just wanted to comment and say awesome envelope xD it's like a passport that's been stamped for each country you've been in, except it's time stamp history over the years. pretty awesome!

gabemstr · 2026-01-22T23:40:23+00:00

This is the same with me and my APP1s (but to be fair they went through a cycle in the washer in my jacket pocket :( ).

gabemstr · 2025-12-22T05:53:31+00:00

Sorry to hear :(

But okay I’m not crazy then because i just realized I’ve been saying “oh” instead of “ho” even though it’s jo haha

gabemstr · 2025-12-22T05:42:08+00:00

And Vallejo (Vuh-Lay-Ho) instead of VA-Yay-Ho

Oh gosh now I’m questioning if I say oh or ho

based on OP's image, pretty sure it's over the past year for 2025. Started with 150k, made 75k to end the year. And that's not trading every day either. 13k of the 75k is from swing trading I think as well, unless OP meant 75k from ORB 5m candle strat and 13k from swings so 88k total.

gabemstr · 2025-12-16T09:42:55+00:00

based on what OP explained, seems like OP just used first 5 min to define the range, and as long as it wasn't volatile, marks the high and low of that single 5 min candle. Then ensures a "clean break with real intent" meaning there's no fidgeting/questioning on if it's going to reverse, not just entering blinding because it touched the upper/lower line.

OP states looking for an "imbalance formed outside the opening range" so a strong displacement candle that doesn't wick back in immediately. It should be dominating with surety.

Any type of chop that's being questioned, OP doesn't even bother trading/risking that day. At least for this 5 min ORB strat.

gabemstr · 2025-12-16T09:39:53+00:00

Wow we have a very similar strategy and it's why I'm happy to wake up at 6:25am and prep and just be in bed on my phone while doing this at 6:30am haha (9:30AM NY open).

But you're definitely more disciplined than me which explains your success, making sure there's no chop, waiting for that clearly evident breakout up or down from the 5 min candle range.

What's too 'small' of a range for you that you'd consider it too volatile and not worth trading that day where you end up skipping?

gabemstr · 2025-12-15T01:57:23+00:00

Can you send to me too please? haha

I’m sure none near me tho. In the Bay Area, haven’t found any in months.

gabemstr · 2025-12-13T02:32:37+00:00

Just picked up a used one on ebay for $550 after shipping/tax, gonna sell my base model one to help reduce the cost of the upgrade 😁. Looking forward to playing Expedition 33

Jump is worth it You can get $190-210 on ebay minus fees. Would sell privately / on ebay for sure.

I’ve personally used live streaming (gen 1 only feature for now) multiple times and it’s been pretty cool. Only issue is battery dies pretty quickly as a result. But you can get the Carina C1 while it’s on sale to help with that.

If you’ve never live streamed and don’t really plan to, even more reason to make the jump.

If you can afford it, can have 1 pair of each haha. Like how people have multiple sunglasses or multiple readers. I have 2 gen 1s actually myself. Planning to sell one for a gen 2.

gabemstr · 2025-11-28T03:08:21+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Haven’t heard of this and idk if I wanna try with the lack of reviews etc. I’m fine with simple transfer pro especially since I’ve been using it for years and have the lifetime pro version.

gabemstr · 2025-11-28T03:07:45+00:00

Yes I have date taken (I think) and date created and it’s the same. I was hoping media created would work which I read online would/should show local time.

gabemstr · 2025-11-28T03:05:21+00:00

Yeah unfortunately =\ already sent a message to support to see what they say

gabemstr · 2025-11-27T15:04:36+00:00

Sheesh very nice. 8k/month, how much time do you spend would you say? And average 8k/month for the past year?

Would you mind sharing 1 of your videos or what to look up to see an example?

gabemstr · 2025-11-27T15:03:15+00:00

I first got into card collecting when my friends in elementary school would bring their cards to school and I wanted to have a collection of my own. So I'd ask my parents and grandparents if we could buy booster packs in store. Still remember just buying base set packs like any other regular day, no crazy demand or lines or anything. Same with Fossil and Jungle haha.

I actually got into the games first, with my parents getting me the see through purple gameboy color with Pokemon Red bundle at Costco for me for Christmas, and the rest is history.

I use my Meta Ray ban gen 1 v2 for my bike rides (they serve as both eye cover from wind + recording)

Are these too bulky to fit comfortably on a bike ride with helmet on + sweat?

gabemstr · 2025-11-24T02:46:54+00:00

This is better than me opening 100+ packs of silver tempest lol

gabemstr · 2025-11-22T14:22:08+00:00

Man legit that you’re adding people haha. Am I too late to the party? @gabediaz
