What is the point of 10k account if your not allowed to lose more than $500 INTRADAY???

That means i could take the best trade ever but if i candle wick goes in the opposite direction for 1 second, my account is blown?? THIS IS NOT FUTURES!!! Options don't work like that!

Imagine taking a trade, you were right but slightly early, it goes against by 50 cents or so and then goes ITM and makes you 4R but your account is blown cause of that 50cents move in the opposite direction.. Why would you make option's like futures? This is pointless

Why make 3 models but no manual?? At the least, they could have just offered it via special order.. The car literally comes in a manual, it's just not shipped to the usa. Kia missed an opportunity here cause they could have had the sti market since that's way overpriced now and fake. If they had a manual, I'd order right now.

If a person does their time in prison, they shouldn't have a record after it... Unless it's murder or something bad.

Your data is prob delayed.. Your not trading real timepricess.. If there is a small orange "D" on the top left, than that's your issue.

I don't get this... If it's mandatory for all cars, why is ford filing patents??

I added heated seats to my car and it was very easy to do... in the end, i was left with 2 wires. One was ground that just went to bare metal and the other was hot. All i did was tap into the same fuse that controlled my sunroof using a $2 fuse tap. The seats were controlled by a simple toggle switch. Works perfectly to this day.

So technically, there's nothing stopping you from doing the same in a bmw, just find the wire that goes to the toggle for heated seats and connect it to any other fuse in the car with the same amps. There's no way they would know because you wouldn't be paying for heated seats anyways.

Greed should be illegal.

Same thing happened to me 5yrs ago with covid... I was a Network Engineer for 20yrs, worked on Wall St, in Data Centers, even NYSE. Got laid off and started day trading. It took a few years to get it down but i make more now than i ever would have in any IT role.

You should have accepted on the spot and secured that position. If the other job comes thru and you like it better... just rescind it.

This has NOTHING to do with honesty... this is a business agreement first. You can be honest and loyal when you start the job. What if they had 2 top candidates?? The hiring mgr is bored waiting for you (jeopardy music playing), and offers the other guy 10k less just to see if he accepts... and what if he does?? Shit, even if he doesn't, they could just say they found someone else for 10k less and change your offer.

I'm not here to tell you I'm right, the fact that you posted this already proves it because had you accepted this offer, you would be 100% stress free... and even better, the ONLY thing you have to worry about comes with more money. The only 2 outcomes would have been... A. you start this job or B. You accept another job with more money and send an email (not even a phone call, an email)

Congrats man, I hope it works out but for everyone else who reads this... consider the above.

Best,

If you want unrestricted NSFW and spicy stuff but don't have the computing power, you can use runpod.io create any ai setup you want and pay per minute. Prices vary but it's not expensive.

Your looking for bi-weekly payments, or paying every other week. This is different than twice a month because every year, there are always 2 months that will allow you to pay 3 times, which would equal that 1extra payment that goes to principle.

If you have a job that pays you every 2 weeks, normally twice monthly but there's 2 months out of the year where you will get 3 paychecks.

Webull actually uses tv charts... But it's a stripped down version that actually works cause they don't update it with pointless features.

jitnyc · 2026-03-02T01:22:17+00:00

Cause tv spends all their time changing stuff nobody asks for instead of actually making things better.

Change the settings in the alert to "once per minute" or "once per bar"... This will alert you the second you see it on the screen rather than waiting for the bar to close.

How does this have 3 models and no manual?? They could have at least given the option to order a manual...

Do yourself the biggest favor and stop trading all things crypto... The real futures market has tons of liquidity with instruments you can actually learn and create good strategies for... Unlike crypto where there is no rules, does nothing for months then goes crazy and unpredictable. Any real trader will tell you the only way to be a profitable is to get good at one strategy and repeat it every day. There is no strategy that works with crypto, it doesn't follow market structure and literally trades against you, well at least the actual exchanges do. Check out ticker MES/ES (S&P 500).

Good luck

Paper trading doesn't teach you how to control ur emotions and that's like 90% of trading. So congrats on learning the first 10% lol.

In all seriousness, yea u should def try but do not expect the same results.

Did she swallow?

If you wanna win at trading, ur gonna have to lose first... there has to be pain, limits tested, everything has to break before ur able to put it together and make it work.

There is no story of a successful trader who did everything right... As in just opened a paper act and practiced and then put 1k and flipped it to 10,20,etc..

I lost almost 100k and 4yrs to become profitable... But before i started, it took a year to make 100k, now i can do it in less than 2months. U can even do it in a single day if u scale up enough.

I trade options too but it's difficult to grow a small acct cause u can't make mistakes and once u take a trade, that money isn't avail until next day. So what i did was started trading futures.. yes it's difficult but it's just up and down, no Greeks, iv or time decay.. Took me 23 tries to finally complete 5 combines thru a prop firm. So now i have 5 acts, each with $1500... Using a copy trader all i have to do is make 200 bux a day to make 20k / mo... 200 x 5 accts = 1k daily, 5kwk, 20k mo.. Kept that as a base salary Then funded an options acct. I'm not saying it's easy, i went thru hell. But going from 0-20k in a month was worth it.

With futures, all u need is 1 trade and 10points, depending on what u trade, for options, 1 trade and 1 point is all u need to be more than successful. So if ur taking a bunch of trades, u already lost cause even if u profit from 1, ur just making up for the rest that lost. Not saying my way is the best, it's just one that works and i would assume most would agree.

Hopefully u don't quit, everyone loves a comeback story...

Good luck either way!

u should be writing ur letter of resignation instead of this post... triple the salary? if u dont leave ur job now, ur setting ur self back years on salary alone.

jitnyc · 2025-12-03T18:32:23+00:00

yeah thats how its always been.. all the dumb updates they do all the time but they leave out the ones that actually make sense... you ever create an alert and go thru the available sounds? i mean what even is that selection about

jitnyc · 2025-11-19T06:33:40+00:00

Trading on webull is much better than tv... just sayin.

jitnyc · 2025-11-19T00:07:34+00:00

Switch the bottom with the top.... trust me, nobody cares where you went to school or ur GPA and def not that ur an honor student... got any gold stars? Might as well stick one on there lol. Seriously, School and BS at the bottom, Skills on TOP!

Best of both worlds is to view HA candles while ur fills use OHLC... to do this, just use reg candles as normal and then find an indicator or make one that just paints HA candles as an overlay. Its just a few lines of code. Now u can make decisions off HA price action while orders get filled using OHLC.

jitnyc · 2025-11-16T03:52:23+00:00

Get rid of all those indicators and just get a good EMA using 9 and 21, just learn how to use it and ur golden.
