u/Brandonnn-

So i have a general understanding of options and have had a couple winning trades although, my account size is under $500 my losses are greater since I'm trading almost my entire account on ETFS (qqq, spy) which I know is risky. So wanted to take a step back to see if im going about this type of trading all wrong.

For a small account what's the sweet spot for expiration dates? 0DTE, 7 days, 14 days, a month? How do you figure out when to enter? Do you look at the charts on certain time frames or is it completely ignored and the main focus is the specific option strike price?

Before I was trying to "scalp" trade as if I'm trading NQ trying to catch short intraday moves but before i get to far into that style of trading I wanted to see if there is a better approach for options starting with a small account. I appreciate any insight and help!

I’m currently in the process of changing my major from
Business administration to Computer Engineering. Changed my major after working a job in industrial automation and completing a 3 month Robotics and PLC Technician training program. Upon completing the program I did more research into the industry and found out more or less what I want my future career to be. With that being said is computer engineering or engineering in general really as “grueling” as it’s made out to be? How much time do you guys take out your day to study? 2, 3, 4, 5 + hours a day? Do you work a job while taking classes? What’s social life like outside of doing projects? I’m aware it will definitely be a rigorous degree to go for but was just looking for some insight.

I’m interested in pursuing a career in AI and machine learning and would like to better understand what the field is really like from people currently working in it. What does your day to day work involve, and what skills have been the most valuable in your career? I’m currently deciding to study computer or mechanical engineering and have experience in industrial automation, computer programming, and networking, and I’m curious whether that background would be useful in AI or machine learning roles. What career path would you recommend for someone starting today who wants to eventually work as a machine learning engineer, AI engineer, or AI consultant? Also, what degree, certifications, programming languages, projects, or job experiences helped you break into the field?

Was scrolling on indeed and saw the job title “consultant” it wasn’t specifically for PLCs but I did a little more research and they do exist for the plc field but what exactly do they do? What would the career path be to have the title at a company or as an individual and is it even worth thinking about?

I currently own a 2015 n55 x3 and I’m approaching the 117k mile mark. Only serious problem I’ve had so far is a leak from the oil pan seal which was fixed at around 109k and since hasn’t occurred again, I also plan to replace my thrust arms and ball joints as there were signs of wear just as precaution. I plan to own the car for at least another year and was wondering what I could do to add some more power to it without making it too unreliable to daily drive. A bigger turbo? Downpipes? Air intakes? Just looking for some insight and something’s I should look out for when I do decide to to do upgrades

Just recently downloaded beam on my pc and I’m using the Logitech g29, In free roam my gas pedal does not work. In arcade and realistic mode when I press my brake it reverses and when I let off THEN press my gas pedal it goes foward but then even after I let off the gas pedal it still goes. I’ve tried invert the axis still didnt work, clean install didn’t fix it and I can see in the hardware settings that it’s recognizing the input of pedal. I’m new to pc games in general just looking for some help

I’m new to programming with c++ and I’m currently going through introduction courses on Codecademy.
Is there a major difference with coding on Mac and coding on windows? Like big enough differences to specifically always use one over the other or is this kind of a no brainer question I should already know the answer to.

What other fields are there for plc type of jobs? I’m pretty sure industrial automation jobs pay the most on average but they also work a few more hours day to day. Is industrial automation the only route for this type of work?
