    Hangry

    You might want to try cooking as a form of relaxing. At the same time you can listen to some podcasts, so your time is not totally invested in just cooking the meal. Then you will enjoy the food a lot more, you have produced the meal. Eating will take about 15-20 minutes and should give you...

    Double standards

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65146557 If you wanted to pick a side on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, now they made it quite difficult for you. How on earth can Russia be in charge of the UN? for fuck sake.

    Need to know the exact date to switch futures expiration.

    Your broker should provide the contract specification, and that will contain the last date they will allow you to trade. As an example for MNQ with IB:

    Anyone here actually profitable?

    Trading in the first years is always gambling. I would say that you need at least three years to understand what you are able to do. Pretty much like any other job. You can't become a master at what you do if you don't spend the time. If you are losing your mind you are on the right track, but...

    Did you ever use AI or chatGPT for trading?!

    For me it was useful to ask for an algorithm to generate Montecarlo simulations and Log-normal distributions. I had one already for my backtesting, the information is already there on the web, but seeing the code generated by ChatGPT was useful to use the right library. They prefer Python for...

    If most ppl lose when they try to win $$, what happens when they "try" to lose $?

    I think the main issue here is that people see those banners at CFDs coinshops and crypto exchanges and think that is the standard. It is true that 90% of their customers lose money, that's why they are forced to show the banner, but it is because they trade against you, stop hunting and payment...

    If most ppl lose when they try to win $$, what happens when they "try" to lose $?

    The ever most repeated sentence : "most people lose at trading" is not quite true. At least with brokers that don't trade against you. These are reports from interactive brokers on their FX accounts: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/about/performanceCustomerForex.php You can visit...

    I want to throw TWS into the dumpster; so slow NOW and I can't use older builds

    I am a bit late to the party but this link might help. https://ibkr.info/article/2170 Those who point to the memory allocation are barking at the right tree. But it is not as easy as increasing the heap value, you have to take a few considerations in. IB claims that you are supposed to handle...

    The Most Legitimate Way Of Showing Ones Perfomance ?

    I agree with you that an audit would fix that, but I was wondering if there is any service that could do a quick report on someone's performance without having to pay anything. I couldn't find it myself so my guess is that Trading Journals can't be trusted to prove our records at all. And if...

    The Most Legitimate Way Of Showing Ones Perfomance ?

    Just thinking out loud, is there any Trading Journal that you guys could recommend that does not allow to delete trades? You know, the usual journal that can connect to your broker and retrieve executions in order to fill a report. But without allowing you to delete anything. So you could use...

    An .sdf file is a SQL Server compact database. That error claiming that the database is corrupt might mislead you. If you use a standalone database viewer you could see if the file is actually corrupt. And if it is you probably can repair it...
