Mold in amp?

Hi all. I'm brand new to playing bass and figured I'd buy a cheap, used amp to get started. I got this from Guitar Center and it arrived reeking of mildew or something. It just smelled like a mix of chlorine and old bookstore. I figured I'd wipe everything down and stick it in a bag with baking soda for a while, but I opened this up and it looks like this. Is this actually way more dangerous or beyond saving? I tried scrubbing it, but it's not coming off, so I'm not sure if this is just dirty glue or something?

Knowledge/Understanding Check?

Hi all,

I'm very new to swing trading and am currently embracing my new ADHD hyperfixation, so I'm diving right in. I am doing the usual internet education route (YouTube, Google, investing articles, etc.) alongside paper trading on TradingView. Below is my current understanding of the swing trading approach and I would really like some feedback on if my comprehension is even close to being functional or at least heading in that direction. Much appreciation and thanks in advance!

  • Scanner criteria:
    • Price: 10-100 USD
    • Chg: >5%
    • Mkt Cap: 300M to 2B USD
    • Avg Volume: 500K
    • Rel vol: 1.2
    • Vol: >1M
  • Strategy:
    • Resistance/Support/Trendlines
      • Looking for breaks in trendlines, using Resistance and Support lines to confirm movement
      • I added Pivots cuz I read they were useful as additional Resistance and Support lines - TBD if I find them useful or they just add too much clutter to the chart
    • EMAs
      • Using 8/20/50/100/200 EMAs
      • Looking for the candlesticks to be higher or at least riding the 8 EMA line
      • Looking for stocks where 8 is above 20, 20 is above 50, 50 is above 100, etc.
      • Stock should be AT LEAST above 200 EMA
    • MACD
      • Looking for MACD to above Signal Line and above or at least heading above the 0 Line
    • ADX/DI+/DI-
      • ADX > 25 (focusing on pairing this with upward trends since I know direction matters)
      • DI+ > DI-
    • Risk
      • I use the Long Position tool on TradingView to figure out a 1:2 ratio
      • Usually placing Stop Loss at most recent/previous Resistance level

I'm still kinda figuring out the different buying options (Market, Limit, Stop Limit, Stop) and have just been doing the Stop option until I figure things out a bit more.
