We are products of our circumstances.

But is it morally justifiable to turn against a system that enabled our flourishing? Morality in practice, I believe is, is subjective evolving through time just like all else.

Would I be a hypocrite for opposing a system that was fundamentally flawed from its inception, yet allowed me to prosper and which I now wish to see dismantled?

For eg. I have directly benefited from my parents capitalist earnings to secure my education, comforts and experience life yet I now in my mid 30s stand against capitalism despite being a product of its privileges.

Any identity forced upon us without a choice would fall under this category, such as religion or place of birth.

I suspect a lot of introverts completely miss each other's social cues.

Speaking for myself, I need at least two invitations or more to override my brain's default assumption that people are just being polite. The first invite feels like a pleasantry, the second feels like genuine intent. That being said, if I extend an invitation (of some sort) and get a "no" or even a lukewarm, hesitant near no, take it as a hard boundary and back off immediately.

So here’s the thing, if you invite me, I’m waiting for a follow up, but if I invite you and you decline, I won't push. If this pattern is widespread among us introverts, we're all stuck in a perpetual deadlock of mutual hesitation.

P.S: I'm apparently an extrovert only when hiding behind the anonymity of a keyboard.

I’ve been building a custom Python/Flask webhook bridge to route strategy alerts from TradingView directly into eToro using their official Public Developer API (https://public-api.etoro.com).

Buys (Long positions) are working flawlessly. However whenever my script tries to initiate a Short (Sell) position, the eToro API gateway immediately rejects the order with a hard 400 Bad Request validation error:

"message": "Validation failed:
 -- Transaction: Sell and buyToCover transactions are not supported in the current implementation. Severity: Error"

My account is fully cleared for CFD trading and I can open short positions manually via the eToro Web UI without any issues. The web interface (trade-api.etoro.com) handles a short perfectly, executing an underlying contract with a clean schema: "IsBuy": false, "OrderType": 17etc.

0 -Is this a permanent retail API restriction?
1 -Has anyone heard anything regarding an API roadmap?
2 -Workarounds not involving migration of the whole thing over to a headless browser automation stack?

PS: I also happen to have an account with Interactive Brokers. Thanks to IBKR's native TradingView integration both execution triggers and feedback loops function flawlessly on their platform once the trading rights are released.
