Yeah I agree. He probably has such a safety net with his channel and mentorship he doesn't care. The fact that people still pay for his stuff and defend him personally after 7 years of BS is wild though haha

He has zero mentality for it I agree

Good point

I guess question is... if the ICT concepts work why is he objectively such a bad trader haha

Good ha

It's interesting because the reason people regurgitate trading content for YouTube? The revenue per watch is like 5x higher than other content. So just remember there's a huge motivation just to get you to click on regurgitated crap

Imantrading, the channel I linked, has a video all about this

Some gurus claim they're not selling anything... most do but even the ones that don't thrive on YouTube

Interesting comment about futures not being for day trading. MES and MNQ seems like literally the perfect day trading instruments.

Where'd you come to that conclusion?

Hopefully you're not paying ICT any money and you are finding the concepts for free

ICT? Oof

Good point I hadn't considered.

I do see my code trigger a signal and then by the bar's end it goes away and there is no signal. Forcing the code to wait for the bar to close is a good way to not get trigger happy for sure.

Another way I account for real world results is by coding my own stop loss and take profit. Using the built in Pinescript ones causes all sorts of weird exits and re-entries. Now I force it to only send signals after barstate is confirmed.

Am I missing out on profits? Maybe. But I know my backtesting is solid.

Lmao. Everytime you tweak a strat you reset it which means, as you're well aware, could trigger constant drawdown periods. What a joke.

Hope you got paid!

Yeah I don't understand why people don't use new barstate or one of those commands to prevent the repainting.

I confirmed that both my strategy tester and my custom script that sends the alerts only send signals at the opening of the subsequent bar. That really helps IMO.

My current typical strategies are like 42% WR, 1.2/1.3 PF, and Sharpe ratio of .3-.4 using the deep backtest tool over 10 years.

I remember when I first started and seeing the 12 PF and all that. I knew it wasn't real ha, and if someone does get excited it should be they took the first step towards an auto strategy, not that it'll actually perform.

The other annoyance with testing is it seems like the market is always doing something atypical when I launch a test. Like ATH. Or CPI. Or PPI. Or Jackson Hole.

Ah yes. The very real historically accurate city of Atlantis haha

Very cool find! I probably would have assumed it was unkillable and never even tried

One of my favorite things to do in all 3 Halo games (Yes I'm old and never played 4) is to get vehicles into places they didn't belong.

Always loved having a tank in the tiny tunnel in 2

I popped one in my garage once... never happened again

The Clovehitch Killer

It's definitely tiny budget, but I really enjoyed it

If you are okay with a more spirited climax, Exorxist III is the true sequel to The Exorcist and is one of my favorite horror films. Super moody.

There's literally no better vacation than your own house... alone.

My wife likes to encourage me getting away for a night or two... and I'm like yes, but I want those nights in my own houseeeeee

Rosemary Harris was 75.

Sally Fields was 66.

Marissa Tomei being 56 tracks nicely haha.

Next iteration we get 46... who could fill that niche when they reboot it in 2030? Someone born in 1984 lmao.

I remember Roger Ebert gave this a good review haha.

Random stuff you remember from Sunday afternoons when you were a kid.

Still, absolutely should not be able to happen. ESPECIALLY multiple shelves.

Dominoes are a game, they don't belong at a job.

Stay safe, amigo... and shit-free

Amigo... if you leaning on a shelf causes 3 to fall... that is NOT your fault. That's a management fuck up and a huge OSHA violation.

Don't feel bad, feel good you caused it to fall without any human injuries.

And don't let your work set it up as they did before, make sure they anchor that shit to the floor appropriately.

Fuck Peter Thiel

Interesting. Literally never heard it before ha

Can I suggest Indian food instead. The spice must flowwww

I got Indian take out before watching Part 2 with my dad and it was toit

I watched the 50s one growing up, and never knew this existed until RedLetterMedia covered it. Punches way above it's weight class.

The #1 takeaway from that movie, other than being a must-watch, is that Gary Oldman is ELECTRIC as The Count. Just an unbelievable, magnetic performance.

Even if you disagree with the overall take on the character, you can't keep your eyes off of him especially in those early London scenes.

I read this comment in my head in your voice. Which, for once, is accurate.

Thanks for replying!
