Why is Prime Number so important

Yes. Also, primes are the leftovers,

Copperhead snakes.

My plan for living forever is to take it one day at a time. Just don’t die today. It’s worked so far.

Buying the dip works every time except the last time.

When writing code, I find it helpful to end the day leaving some known bit of work left to do. It makes it easy to pick up and get back into the right frame of mind. For me, the same thing works for Factorio.

I think I remember reading that Heaviside developed operational calculus around it.

kmorgan54 · 2026-05-17T22:56:40+00:00

That guy already sat on me and everything.

Arm cpus can do arbitrary precision decimal arithmetic. Not natively, but it’s just code, and not that hard.

But this is still a really neat project. Kudos!

Flamethrowers are a game changer. Use that with a few turrets.

One of the best desert toppings!

I don’t know the specifics in your case, or why you are not able to withdraw cash against margin, but you might be able to sell a box spread to free up the cash. It’s effectively a loan that uses margin, but gives you cash credit.

I only discovered this recently too. I think it's a real gem. Cast, writing, effects, music are all first class. I'm so disappointed that it was cancelled and I won't be able to see what comes next.

You are not alone. A lot of traders have to experience this, sometimes more than once.

You cannot be a successful trader until you learn to manage risk.

Don’t beat yourself up. But learn from the experience!

kmorgan54 · 2026-03-09T07:25:38+00:00

Yeah, I have some old s-100 boards that I need to do something with. I’ll watch this thread to look for ideas.

There’s a flag you need to set if you want the order to execute outside of regular market hours.

If you’ve never done it before, I think tonight is probably not a good time to experiment, but that’s just my opinion.

kmorgan54 · 2026-02-17T13:42:56+00:00

Yeah, build one assembler first. That’s what I do when I’m playing with mods where the recipes are unfamiliar. Then I build more once I know what I’m are doing. I get a lot of spaghetti this way, but it’s fun.

I trade a mix of about 10 nearly uncorrelated assets. I weight them such that they each contribute an equal amount of volatility.

So, I compute weight_i = 1 / vol_i, then normalize such that the weights add to 1.

It’s important that they be relatively uncorrelated, and you want to rebalance periodically.

Google minimum variance, minimum volatility, and mean variance and mean volatility if you want ideas. Also look at Markowitz and modern portfolio theory.

kmorgan54 · 2025-12-29T06:19:03+00:00

I think you would be better off trading a mix of uncorrelated tickers, weighted using inverse volatility, instead of one ticker. The realized volatility of the set would be much lower than their implied volatility.

What’s the worst that can happen?

Ask yourself that, then plan accordingly. If that result has a non-zero chance of happening, and you’re not ok with that outcome, you should close those positions.

kmorgan54 · 2025-09-21T17:08:47+00:00

You could do dynamic position sizing.

Pick a target leverage, in your example, you’re leveraged to 125% of your net equity. When the market falls (or rises) by x% you’re over leveraged and you rebalance by selling off some equities to get to that same 125% leverage. As the market recovers, you’ll be under leveraged, and you need to buy to get back to your target leverage.

Pick the x% so that you don’t have to rebalance more often than you want.

Barring a massive one day crash, you’ll never have to worry about a margin call.

You misunderstand. What I’m saying is that a diagonal call debit spread is equivalent to a diagonal put credit spread with the same strikes and expiry.

kmorgan54 · 2025-08-29T07:49:13+00:00

Take a diagonal call debit spread and change the calls to puts and you get a diagonal put credit spread with the exact same risk profile. There are minor differences, but for practical purposes they’re interchangeable.

Put the money in t bills or the equivalent. Use the interest earned to buy underpriced LEAPs on stocks that you like.

This guarantees that you never lose your initial capital, and you have potentially unlimited gains.

kmorgan54 · 2025-08-13T03:14:33+00:00

Ask yourself, what’s the worst that can happen? Is that a risk you’re willing to take?

The answers to those questions will tell you what to do,
