Listening to you guys explain why you nerfed everything into oblivion does nothing. You're adjusting based on the few and driving away your casual base. Making this game slower and more of a grind is not what casual players want. We couldn't get close to 100 before seasons and

How do you make your D4 player base feel good about it's first season with a patch that is so negative it makes many disinterested in even playing? I would have just let the season come out with some clear QOL improvements and some bug fixes, but trying to completely nerf every

Learnings in my 50's I wish I knew in my 20's:
Ok watch this thread for all the things I wish I knew before my mid 40’s that would have allowed me to be 10X richer today. I’m not preaching here, just sharing my thoughts, almost all of you are way smarter than I am.

Looking back at March it was another really good month.
March P/L ~ $36.6K with YTD~$95.9K
with Jan and Feb $AMZN trades in TOS.
Small futures have contributed, especially /S10Y and /S30Y.
Make high probability trades, trade small and often and it adds up.

$NVDA A few years ago my dad asked me for a drone stock name...I gave him NVDA, GoPro and a few others, he invested ~$3500 only in $NVDA. After all the splits and such he owns just over 495 shares... They are currently valued at $192,000... He has made a 5360% gain to date...

What a month...$34,806 including TastyWorks below, $12K on Amazon on TOS and $6.5K on BTC. Simply wow. Never expected that kind of performance in January. Thanks to all the tasty traders who share their skills and ideas every day.

Hi everyone.
Sophie and I have made the difficult decision to separate, because of climate change.
She was simply asking for more than I could give.
My love-life will balance itself, as I spend time getting closer to Gerald Butts, Seamus O'Reagan, and Emmanuel Macron.

Ran my numbers quickly (Vacation) for June, results were up $28,211.60 for the month. Will post the full details when I get back to the US on the 10th or so. Again this is impacted by assignments and realized versus unrealized gains. YTD I'm at $97,704.74 realized.

Went through and reviewed how I did for February. Here is Feb vs Jan not including my non TW Amazon Trades (+13K Jan and +10.6K Feb) Note: cost basis error for F in Feb corrected in my totals.
Jan = 31.6K
Feb = $27.5K
YTD = $57.1K ~29%ROC

Here is a rundown of August Trading performance, a good month for sure!
MTD P/L = $20.5K when adjusted for my hedges which were up $2K for the month
YTD P/L = $128.8K + $49.7K ($AMZN on TOS) = $178.5K I'll attach last month for reference

Ok that $ABNB trade was just what I needed to throw my 2020 wins at TastyTrade over the 50K mark. I set up my TT account for earnings and SB trading in May. My first trade was May 27th, so in 7 months I've cleared just over $54K. 54% annualized return!

My mom went into the hospital last night. I won't be on quite as much. She needs someone with her round the clock so I'll be working to spell my 84 year old father to make sure he doesn't over do it. Will be trading from her room until she's home.

Just a quick update on my trading hiatus…the house is 99.9% finished and we move in on Monday. Still a few clean up items and tons of work to get settled.
Will post some pictures once the grass is in next week and we are out of the boxes.
Back to trading by early next year.
