Sometimes my phone shows me old photos like this one and it hits me—I have raised 3 human beings. If I do nothing else worthwhile with my life , I did that. Then I think…where are her shoes?!

@dmartin_nq Just to give you one example, and this one is less extreme than some. I have seen probably a dozen strats do this—take just off after covid hits. But only American indexes, only day trading strats. My view is, this is a long term regime, so I don’t mind fitting to it.

@dmartin_nq Yep, always do, within the limits of what I can do with trading view. But I know it is a real phenomenon because I have gotten similar results on probably a dozen very different strats, NQ and ES. Day trading strats, mind you.

@mispy101 Really? That's interesting. Have you done any robustness testing to see if the parameters are stable?

Germany's reluctance to invest in productive infrastructure isn't a sign of thriftiness, nor does it help Germany keep its debt burden low. If the investment is productive – i.e. if it creates more economic value than it costs in economic resources – then almost by definition the investment will cause GDP to rise by more than the debt rises, and German's associated debt burden will actually decline. The point is that if German infrastructure is in bad enough shape to have become a constraint on productivity growth – and almost everyone agrees that it is – then borrowing to fund infrastructure investment will not only accelerate productivity growth, it will also reduce the debt burden by creating more than enough additional real income to service the additional debt. Granted that it is difficult for a large economy to change institutions and growth models, including fear of debt, that have been in place for decades, but sclerosis isn't strategy, and as East Asian economies fight to continue increasing their share of global manufacturing, while the US works to reverse the decline in its own manufacturing share, it is precisely countries like Germany, for whom manufacturing currently represents a much larger share of the economy than in the rest of Europe, that will pay the highest cost for doing nothing. wsj.com/world/europe/g…

The year before this work 'Dawn,' (1889) was painted, Alfred Stevens’ doctor recommended that he take the sea air as a remedy for his bronchial condition. His first visits were to the channel coast near Le Havre; his interest in the sea continued throughout his lifetime.

Nothing brings me peace in this life like gardening. Followed by a thunderstorm, it makes for a perfect day.

@ismatthewmcg These are prop firm accounts, so that's not straight profit--probably when all is said and done you get to take home half of what you make. Not exactly Buffet style.

I've moved away from discretionary trading toward automation, but I keep my topstep account separate, and I've realized: making algorithmic strategies has taught me to be a better trader. I'm better at not chasing, not over-trading, not getting greedy.

@Mr_Derivatives Why do you choose to focus on short selling, given these risks, out of curiosity?

As a short seller, even to this day, this is what keeps me up at night: The most you can make shorting is 100%, but realistically most people cover when they see 10-50% gains on their shorts. But the risk can be infinite. And god forbid, if you get blown away somehow, the brokerage may go after your personal assets to cover the debt. So for years that is why I have been saying, 95% of ppl on Fintwit should not sell short ever.

@SeamusNua Acclimation is for real. I rarely had AC during long sunmers in tennessee, and played soccer through the hot part of the day. You just drink water, its fine.

@BostonRobTrades Even scaled down to minis (assuming /10), that's quite a hefty drawdown to run on a topstep account. Do you just accept the possibility of it being blown as a rare enough occurrence it's worth the risk? (not a critique, just an issue I struggle with myself)

I like to be able to study a chart to look for patterns to get ideas for a strategy. The problem is, charts only go back so far, and sometimes you end up with this--something beautifully fitted to exactly what i could see, and no more. Back to the drawing board.

Although the location is unknown, this archway is similar in style and subject to the architectural studies painted by John Singer Sargent in southern Spain in 1879, especially in the treatment of light, the honey coloured tones of the pillars and the cool greens of the recess.
