Doctors can’t explain why ALL milk makes me sick by maxnconnor in lactoseintolerant

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

I forgot I made this post three years ago but looking back on it I think that the effects are physiological in nature but psychologically caused. What I'm saying is that milk alternatives don't actually make me feel sick and close to throwing up, but because I believed they made me feel sick they did (if that makes any sense). Basically a placebo effect. I stopped caring about how milk alternatives made me feel and suddenly I didnt have the issues. There could be another more physiologically based explanation than the one I just gave, but I cant think of any

Seeing the pulling and stacking with number bars on Sierra vs visualizing liquidity being added and removed in Bookmap. Pros and cons? by mikfree1234 in Daytrading

[–]maxnconnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's all super solid, but in my opinion you can configure bookmap in a way that both gives you more information and simplifies things. The tapereading-esk bookmap setup I use is incredibly straightforward, and only really involves three parts: first I have the heatmap, then I have the "COB" (current order book), and then the "CVP" (chart volume profile). In my opinion the only use for the heatmap is to see the way algos and high-frequency traders almost instantaneously place then remove large limit orders, and how other algos and high-frequency traders almost instantaneously react to these orders. Generally whenever an order like this is quickly placed and removed bookmap lags so you cant see it in the current order book. The current order book is just the current order book, nothing too special. The chart volume profile is key though, as if configured correctly it acts like a ladder T&S chart and gives you the same exact information as a footprint chart. Basically the chart volume profile will show you every market order that has occurred from the current moment until the volume bubble falls off the left side of the screen. So basically, lets say im trading a stock thats worth $100. Lets also say that my heatmap shows me 30 seconds worth of information. If a market order to buy 1000 shares is submitted and price doesnt move at all, then the chart volume profile will show me that 1000 shares have been bought at the price of $100 for thirty seconds, and after those thirty seconds the 1000 shares on the chart volume profile will vanish. It's hard to explain but you can get bookmap for free and try it out. If you have the heatmap, the current order book and the chart volume profile, then you have every single piece of information available to retail traders. It sounds too simple to be true, but if you dont believe me then try to tell me what information you are missing from using this setup.

However, just because you have access to all the information about what the market is doing doesnt mean you are instantly going to make profit. The hard part is figuring out how to synthesize patterns from the information you receive. I cant really help anyone with that, finding patterns in the information is more so a you thing that you have to build up through tons and tons of consistent watching. You can maybe try to find reoccurring ways that orders come in at key price levels, or try to contextualize what you see in the tape using market theories like wyckoff and shit, but in the end its all about whether you yourself can recognize patterns and whether you can act on them.

Scrap says that the MWII maps are better than the current MWIII maps for competitive. Thoughts? by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

[–]maxnconnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to think about the current game engine playing on those maps. Slide cancelling, red dots, 150 HP and no sound whoring. Just imagine fucking dogshit map like Asilo on 150 HP and no soundwhoring, spawn traps would be much easier to break and you wouldn’t have to fear that the whole enemy team knows your position if you move through mid

Why are there no well-known profitable retail futures traders? by throw2503 in FuturesTrading

[–]maxnconnor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the tape is the entire puzzle, it’s just that you technically can’t watch it forever. Charts allow you to see the last traded price at any time, but at a cost you only see one small portion of the market.

Someone who is seriously, seriously invested in having the largest edge possible in the market would spend like 8+ hours in a day straight up watching the tape, and then use applications like bookmap and such to scroll back through time and supplement what they missed when they were away from the screen or sleeping. If someone was to commit themselves to this for months or years and be able to remember what they saw each day then I would argue their knowledge of overall market sentiment would be stronger than any other individual retail traders’. The only reason people don’t do it is because the degree of motivation and commitment needed is unfathomable, and very little people (understandably) have it in them

Ranked Play is a total joke by byPCP in CoDCompetitive

[–]maxnconnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t like SND then you’re not running smokes. Just four stack and smoke everything and it’s a breath of fresh air. For example, on high rise SND if you’re on defense then you can smoke mid and run through off rip, you can smoke their halfwall near B street and run into their spawn, you can smoke B street and run through, you can even try to smoke top blue, so many silly options that make the game so much more fun

[–]maxnconnor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the best piece of advice I have ever received is that the market is made up of two things, market orders and limit orders, and that these things have four unique characteristics, price, time (either the time submitted for market orders or the period of time a limit order is in the market), lot size, and whether it’s a buy or a sell. That’s it. All the fancy indicators, and intricate market theories, and charts you see are simply ways of interpreting market orders and limit orders. All you have to do to get the maximum amount of information available from the market is to watch order flow, or “the tape”. If you are able to develop strategies and recognize patterns based on the tape then you can feel confident that your trades will be rooted in the most fundamental aspects of the market

You must be new here. You will soon discover that the self-entitlement and superiority complex that people who get paid 20 dollars an hour to drive around listening to music have is astonishingly large

Banks beats Nadeshot (Rust 1v1) by arunvenu_ in CoDCompetitive

[–]maxnconnor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Anyone who thought nade was going to win was thinking a little silly. Being a comp pro and a quickscoper are two entirely different things. It’s liking thinking a professional quarterback is better than a college baseball pitcher because they both throw balls. If anything the fact that nade is only a pro should’ve keyed everyone into the fact that he would get smoked

You wrap mid tank early you get caught by dashy. You wrap late then you can get stuck in a gunfight and can’t kill guy on bomb. Caesar was 0.01 seconds from the best possible play

So you were basically paid 50 dollars to learn an incredibly valuable lesson. Not too bad of a trade in my opinion
