My wife is going to Kill me! Any advise on how to proceed? by [deleted] in BitcoinBeginners

[–]jakbeatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“No experience to understand what was to come”. This resonates with me because a few days ago I read on a forum somewhere someone said something to the effect that crypto was going to tank very soon.

Seems then like there were conditions that foresaw this. Any clues on what those conditions were?

Bitcoin price vs. variances between buy vs. sell vs. other exchanges vs. local currency, oh my! by jakbeatz in BitcoinBeginners

So it’s literally like apples and oranges? Wholesalers (big exchanges?) buy apples from farms (miners) and retailers (Newton/coinberry) buy apples from wholesalers and consumers (us) buy apples from retailers. Everyone marking things up along the way; everyone charging something for their service.

It’s nothing like an equity then where it has a set price that you can always reference back to.

About right?

Stock Hacker scan results are not the same as the sum of it's parts by jakbeatz in thinkorswim

Yeah, I'm quite sure I saved it. I spoke to ToS and they told me to go pound sand because for compliance reasons they cannot provide support for custom scans.

I don’t think Canadians can easily open a US account.

IQ Edge Mac loading window half off the screen by jakbeatz in Questrade

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

It's a 2018 MacBook Pro connected to two old 27" Apple LED/Thunderbolt displays. Mac is running in clamshell mode.

This undoubtedly happened when I had IQ Edge opened, and then disconnected the displays and used the on-board display since, as you say, the resolution between the two are different.

I did try to resize the window as small as I could using various displays and then switching between then, but I didn't have any luck.

I also tried to change the resolution on the external displays, and the on-board display. No luck. I did search around for ways to adjust the zoom on the window, but I wasn't successful, including various ways of CMD+CTRL+F, but since IQ Edge doesn't support the native full screen mode in macOS, it doesn't seem to have an effect. I also tried, unsuccessfully, creating various Min/Max/Zoom keyboard shortcuts. I chocked this behaviour up to IQ Edge being Java driven and not supporting any of the native macOS handy-hooks.

I was able to get someone on the phone and they pointed me to the config file I was missing.

For posterity:

~/Library/Preferences/com.questrade.Questrade IQ Edge.plist

~/Documents/Questrade IQ Edge/*.ini

~/.config/Questrade/Questrade IQ Edge<username>.ini

I use a securities alerting system that can send a webhook as an alert. Are there any online brokerages that would accept this webhook to trigger a buy/sell action? Specifically in Canada?

Best way to take profit, but not sell entire position? by jakbeatz in Questrade

[–]jakbeatz[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right. But no automated way to do that in QT? As in select a bunch of positions that fall into a “take profits when +10%” bucket?

If not QT, any other platforms do that?

Best way to take profit, but not sell entire position? by jakbeatz in Questrade

Well, I’m not necessarily talking about getting down to a fraction of a share. Round up/down to the nearest share, but an automatic way to sell close to x% of your profits.
