Anyone trading single stock futures yet?

I've been watching them daily now to see if we don't get more liquidity. Since the first few weeks it definitely looks like the order books are starting to tighten up but still a little too over the place for my liking.

Just curious if anyone here is trading these right now and what your experience has been.

Am I being rage baited when I see people on here say SV predicted AI?

Surely anyone that watches the shows has some interest in tech and understands the work for machine learning/neural networks has been long in progress....

I just can't accept it's not bait.

cmv: The obsession with labeling everything as 'autism' that has to do with having an interest in something is getting out of hand and undermining those who actually struggle

It's becoming mind numbingly apparent and repetitive. I see it constantly now on reddit. Literally any interest being labeled "interest+tism" usually referring to themselves in their self-diagnosed autism for which they probably decided on because they don't like their food to be touching. So now their whole personality is the made up disorder they put on themselves.

It's as if people have become so bland, so lacking in self-identity and personality that they are just yearning to find anything...anything at all that gives them some interest. All the while bringing down the people that actually have said disorders and causing society at large to think of it as little more than a joke.

I literally saw someone say in a comment "having any interest with too much enthusiasm is just autism". Self-diagnosed as autistic, of course. These are the people that are actively hurting and destroying the perception of entire groups of people that have been misunderstood for their entire lives. And these people just use it like fashion. Like a skin suit mimicking anything it can.

With bug bounty programs being shut down such as cURL and others due to AI submission slop, where do you think this takes us?

I can only imagine more and more people that want to make a quick buck are going to throw AI agents at targets hoping it works out, when more likely than not it's going to be false flags and just overwhelm the report system to the point they begin shutting down engagements en masse.

Multiple programs have been shut down already and I fear this is only going to get worse to the point most companies stop offering financial incentive barring vetted researchers.

Do you all view the QTE's of original as good or bad?

I've noticed a shift on the internet that has really surprised me about QTE's. It seems a lot of people have shifted to being annoyed and finding them too hard.

I originally played RE4 when it finally released for the PS2 (never had a gamecube). Before that, I had already picked up God of War as I watched review for re4, excited to finally play it. Both GoW and RE4 did very well and EVERYBODY I talked to, including me LOVED the QTE's.

They gave a depth to that game that make things more realistic. You had to actually be "quick on your feet" just like Leon. You had the pitfall of instant death if you fail, just like Leon. You had to really mash the button to hold off Krauser from running a knife through your chest...just as Leon had to do as he muscled his way out of it.

It literally made the game be as memorable as it was even though now people don't seem to see it that way. I'm not saying it was EVERYTHING that made it that way, but it carried more weight than people seem to give credit for it now.

My personal opinion, people have become too soft and everybody wants easy access and anything that seems too difficult/annoying for them is instantly a bad thing.

Has anyone here tried a peanut and/or chirp-style wheel w/ massage points?

If so, did it help correct your posture and help with upper back tension/pain?

I get really bad upper-back tension that causes other issues which I'm sure comes from bad posture habits. I try to stay straight and when I'm active like jogging/running or anything else I'm usually much more aware of it and its fine but often when I'm relaxed I find I begin slouching.

Just curious on peoples experiences.

The cancellation of Iran attack changes nothing about the underlying reason for the current sell off.

I'm seeing euphoric posts abound as we got a spike on that reversal of decision, but I think people forgot we were in a sell off prior to this and those reasons didn't change because of this. Everything is exactly as it was. It just didn't get worse. We rose to new highs with no clear end on war escalations in sight so there was no fear in the market for these possibilities. We began selling off for various other reasons, but war escalation wasn't one.

Today, the market barely reacted to his original truth post this morning and mostly went sideways and then, on the cancellation, we run up. Those sells didn't come from anything escalation related yet the non-event was bought. There is no confirmation that any deal has been accepted so far and we've been down this road before, so even that prospect is currently questionable.

Thoughts?

Hairline crack on top of neck. Safe to play till repair?

So this guitar was dropped with the headstock hitting a stool on bottom side creating a hairline crack on back of neck just under headstock. The nut was also damaged during this. I'm ordering a new nut and looking for the right glue for the job on the crack but in the meantime I'd like to adjust and test the nut as I wait for the glue portion and clamp.

Do you think this crack is safe to play with standard tuning for a bit? When it happened the strings were on and the pull didn't look like much. And, pulling it now to see inside crack doesn't open it much.

Anyone else basically sit out on the passive gains of the massive AI rally?

So, I've been trading since 2020 (if you'd call the degen options gambling I did 'trading'). I made some gains in the original push from NVDA and the like into the point of "we've gone too far for this to be healthy". P/E ratios through the roof. And of course now we know, that rally just kept going and going.

And through it all I never once bought anything to hold. I bought a 200 strike AMD contract about half a month before it hit 200 and then that was it. I have basically sat out any long term stock holdings/options and have only played the futures as the day comes. I do not trust any of this rally enough to put much weight into any position long term, but I also have no intention of shorting it greatly.

Of course, I do have some regrets. Who wouldn't want to make all that extra money from riding this? And sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice just trading the intraday moves in the futures. Doing futures takes its own direct focus/toll that you have to lock into and it can be easy to just stay on that path but trading at ATHs can be difficult and when you see how easy just HODLing any tech stock just prints money it makes you kind of...upset.

Just curious of others mental on this atm.

This seems to be something I still struggle with. I usually err on the side of caution and protect my gains. But, I can't lie. It hurts to see set ups I would otherwise get into happen as I expected. It's probably the one thing that either is preventing me from making more money or saving me and I don't know which it is. I battle with it everytime it happens.

Say you make a solid profit for the day. One you would be very pleased with as I did today. Then, you see a setup forming that you if you DIDN'T make much profit, you would enter. Do you protect your gains and walk away for the day or do you go for the trade, perhaps less leveraged?
