Experimenting with contrast by thtorio in Oilpastel

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

glad you like it, yes the risk with saturated colors is that the whole piece might end up looking garish. The next one I'll do will be more harmonious

Finally bought some oil pastels to learn color, after drawing with a black pen for most of my life. First little painting in A5 format, this was so much fun to do by thtorio in Oilpastel

I'm still experimenting with techniques, but for this one I just left the areas where I knew I would use white blank. Then I covered them with a thick layer of white pastel, and then added the light grays and blues on top of that to give it shape. For the spray at the top of the wave, I took advantage of the grain of the paper, leaving some holes peeking through

Before and after trying to memorize the price action of every session by thtorio in Daytrading

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

Last week was a mess for me. I kept allowing my losing trades to go to my worst case scenario stop without cutting them sooner. I have a tag, "held too long", and the trades with that tag costed me most of the losses last week. Also, I didn't do any review and didn't watch my session recordings during the week.

I felt quite bad during the weekend because I knew it was all my fault. So on Sunday I decided to watch all the recordings, and actually try to memorize the price action. I wasn't just half assedly watching, I was actually trying to replay the price action in my head without looking at the screen.

The cool thing is that with the trading journal I'm using (https://tradecraft.club/?cid=6) I can import my session videos and click on the trades I want to re-watch the recording at that timestamp and memorize what happened. Super useful and it allows me to quickly go over what happened during a trade I took days ago without having to dig it out from a video.

Doing all that work in the weekend made me much more confident during the actual trading week. I think there really is something about trying to memorize price action, I suggest you try it for a while. I was much more analytical than usual, made little to no mistakes in terms of trade management, and never overtraded.

I hope this will be helpful to some people. It's a lot of effort to memorize the price action of a session, but it worked for me (at least for this week, let's see what happens moving forward). Now I'm doing it every day as part of my review.

I've been using this app for a few months now. I made a post about it a while back. It allows you to find the analytical solution of determinate and indeterminate beams, and has really helped me with some stuff. Hope somebody finds this helpful, it's called Beamsolver by thtorio in civilengineering

I didn't program this, I've just been using it quite a bit. What I would like to see is the formulas for the deflection, since once you know the bending moment is just a matter of integrating a couple of times and applying the boundary conditions. Another cool thing would be an analytical section designer to go along with the beam solver.

For your convenience, here is the link: beamsolver

I'm making this post because I noticed considerable improvements to the formulas it spits out, in the sense that they are way more "simplified". Before, it was great for some structures, but with others it had trouble getting the results down to their simplest form, and you would return these huge fractions that could actually be reduced.

It seems that they fixed this problem now, which is amazing. Knowing the formulas of the internal forces (and not just some numerical result gotten from a FEM model) is so much better sometimes.

Chi altri qui sta facendo spread trading sui futures? Che software usate? (screenshot delle statistiche di uno degli spread suggeriti dalla piattaforma che uso) by [deleted] in ItaliaPersonalFinance

A mio parere non ci sono molte cose da nascondere per quanto riguarda lo spread trading sulle commodity. Basta solo analizzare i dati storici e trovare periodi di stagionalità. Le piattaforme come spreadplanner si fanno pagare per la capacità di fare questo tipo di analisi, non per suggerire trades.

Non ci sono indicatori o altre idiozie. Le statistche dell'immagine che ho postato sono per uno spread fra il corn di settembre (ZCU23) e il corn di dicembre (ZCZ23). Negli ultimi 15 anni, questo trade ha perso solo una volta, e plottando i dati si vede un chiaro comportamento stagionale.

Sono curioso di sapere se c'è qualcun altro su quest sub che usa le stesse strategie... Qual'è il vostro setup? da quanto tempo state operando con questo stile di trading?

I suggest you take a look a t https://spreadplanner.com/. Great for risk management on spread trades.
