[surreal dust]

Topstep / Trradeify /Take Profit Trader and Apex

[quiet turret]

[quiet turret]

19K round number

[surreal dust]

[upper oracle]

What's your score today?

[surreal dust]

biggest win for the day?

or total

😅

[upper oracle]

Both of course😃

[surreal dust]

haha i wont say the total

but traded 7 funded accounts

biggest single win was 16.2k

on one account

others were much smaller

[upper oracle]

And here I thought for once I finally got close. Still a hundred miles ahead

[surreal dust]

man

you bank 15k

you are already miles ahead of me

3 months in brother

[upper oracle]

Absolute madness! Was that on the Trump news?

[upper oracle]

Not quite yet. Let's see how long it'll take to catch up😁

[lost rose]

here i cant even pass evals

lol

i was up 800 today

just to keep getting wicked

[surreal dust]

yes was in that trade about 1 minute

[lost rose]

trade will go my way and then boom swept

stopped out

[surreal dust]

you will get it man

[upper oracle]

A 3 months salary in a minute🤣

[surreal dust]

i can't claim that it wasn't lucky

[upper oracle]

:/

[surreal dust]

lol

[civic tiger]

We in a bearish fvg on the daily on es i wonder are we gonna reject here

[surreal dust]

just happened my TP was hig hlol

[upper oracle]

You were expecting the price to go there?

[lost rose]

ive tried shorting twice andhave lost 1k lol

[surreal dust]

yes it was an upper target

obviously didn't think we would get there like that

I often set targets where I want it to go initial and the work down to more realistic levels for tp's

turns out i was realistic with it

[upper oracle]

Then I wouldn't give luck too much credit. You assessed price would continue to go there. Just got an acceleration

[civic tiger]

I'm still in spy puts even after that big move 🤷🏿‍♂️

[upper oracle]

Just my opinion😅

[upper oracle]

Balls of Steel

[upper oracle]

how long have you been in Options?

[nocturne sigil]

So what'd I miss?

LOL

[agile jasper]

garbo platform

[nocturne sigil]

crazy day, early morning moves, dead during lunch, then Trump pausing tariffs for the markets riding the elon rockt !!!!!!

[nocturne sigil]

at least they didnt lock everyone out for some lame excuse

LOL

which firm has these rules for trending pump/dump days?

[upper oracle]

did you trade today?

[surreal dust]

i'll take it

[surreal dust]

haaha elon rocket

is true tho crazy day

[upper oracle]

NQ breaching into +12% territory

[surreal dust]

lol i saw this too..... and then ignored it when i saw Wealthcharts... have you tried it on there?? SO BAD.... they are crazy if they think anyone wants to use that platform

[surreal dust]

none but alot combat that through consistency rules on max profit for the day

[upper oracle]

What's so bad about wealthcharts?

[surreal dust]

awful interface, awful trading options, awful design, awful to use

[upper oracle]

Anybody here have good experience with Options?

[surreal dust]

imagine someone who doesn't trade coming up with everything they think you need to trade with and then designs it

options are amazing

[upper oracle]

Sounds like a product designed to fail

[surreal dust]

everyone should do them

[agile jasper]

it was 90% off with an influencer code I saw on twitter but it was too late

[surreal dust]

Apex is one big designer fail

[surreal dust]

i have it on email

i can send you the code if you want it

[upper oracle]

Actually? Would you choose them instead of Futures?

[surreal dust]

i would do both

i do both

[upper oracle]

You mean Patrick Wieland's stream?

[surreal dust]

i sold calls last week in a bunch of stuff

and sold some puts too

[copper tiger]

.kaizen_wins.

[upper oracle]

Is selling options actually worth it? Considering that downside is basically endless

[surreal dust]

they are both usefull

especially if you own the actual stock

it is very effective

@agile jasper if you want it

[upper oracle]

Which platform do you trade options on? Thinkorswim?

[surreal dust]

Schwab

and IG

Schwab you need 20k min to open an account tho

IG you dont

[upper oracle]

Because of that pattern day trader thing, right?

[surreal dust]

think you can do options on city index too

or you can use Interactive Brokers as well

but I hate their interface haha

[surreal dust]

it is just their account requirements

i actually initially got an account because Schwab bought out the company I was with and then i got transferred over 😄

[upper oracle]

Do you actually look at the Greeks once you sold the Option or do you just look at how the stock itself performs?

[upper oracle]

So you were in Finance before Trading?

[surreal dust]

this was a long time ago

[surreal dust]

just the strike prices / stock price

you already know the premium / p/l on either side

[surreal dust]

no I found them when I first start trading

as I joined a side called "motley fool"

which was full of info on stock trading / options trading

[upper oracle]

ah, I understood it as in that you worked for the company that got bought out haha

[surreal dust]

really great website I recommend for newbies actually

[agile jasper]

matt trades or something like that

[surreal dust]

haha

[agile jasper]

not keen on that shit platform

[surreal dust]

i still haven't activated those free accounts they gave me

i passed them

and have been billed 2 or 3 times

[agile jasper]

i want rithmic so i can do quantower

[surreal dust]

now for them

[agile jasper]

alreayd have my MFF on rithmic

[surreal dust]

because I didn't cancel them

even tho they are passed ... Apex still charge you

assholes

[agile jasper]

tradeify the same

[surreal dust]

😂 need to cancel

[upper oracle]

What's the research process like before buying or selling options? Do you look at the financials or just stuff like volatility, PA, etc?

Also, when trading Options is it just like Futures where you usually close positions quickly or are these positions held for a longer time?

Or give them to me 🙂

[surreal dust]

you can choose the timeframe and the timeframe effects how much you can make from them

[surreal dust]

similar to day trading... but again depends on your timeframe... you can write options for a 1 year+ away or just for the day

BT trades options

very frequently

and I believe he does them for the day too (which I dont)

so good to ask him

if that is what you are interested in

[upper oracle]

Definitely wanna know about how it works

thank you

[surreal dust]

no worries

open an ig account

its free

i think you can demo trade options

but can't remember exactly if they still allow options trading on demo these days

[nocturne sigil]

whos going cash?

[surreal dust]

actually

[nocturne sigil]

[surreal dust]

ooops

[upper oracle]

what does ig stand for?

[surreal dust]

ummm

pass

just google ig . com

tho

it is that one

i'll login and check for you actually

[gaunt moat]

some good gaps in the wake of today's "reprieve". the indexes might give a bit back, tonight.

[surreal dust]

no doesn't do demo options trading

[upper oracle]

ok, I'm gonna look for one that does then

Again, thankyou very much

[surreal dust]

but if you create an account

you can get access to the options chain on there

and play with it and get a feel for P/L and how it works

there are other sites for this tho

someone mentioned one to me the other day that requires less margin for positions

will see if I can dig out the name

[quiet turret]

I have traded options very extensively. mostly on the sell side. Let me know if you need any help.

[sturdy wharf]

wait didnt trump call out "its a great time to buy"

hours before the announcement

[main sorrel]

It was after the big jump I think

[upper oracle]

Yup

[upper oracle]

nope

[main sorrel]

Was too busy pressing buy lmao

[sturdy wharf]

Market manipulation?

didnt just yesterday he say he wasnt gonna remove tariffs early

[copper tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/trump-donald-trump-thumbs-up-good-yes-gif-13303990716584415679

[main sorrel]

Do they eat it all up tonight tho?

[sturdy wharf]

idk

we will see how japan reacts

[upper oracle]

Well, he didn't remove them. He "paused" them

[sturdy wharf]

I mean

did he just cut them to 10%

still goldman has recession chances at 45%

I might open up shorts

[urban flint]

This structure is so sexy

White line is the channel. Let’s see here what happens. Trump just threatened Iran lol

Market took this as coast is clear, it’s not (read yet)

[sturdy wharf]

45% recession chance lmao

[upper oracle]

Perfect. Just got some basic questions atm.

1. What are they like in comparison to Futures like NQ? What's better about them and what's worse?
2. What's the research process for these things or rather what do you look at before you pull the trigger?
3. How do you find good Options Trade ideas?

[urban flint]

55% chance it will be because of trump

[sturdy wharf]

oh nvm its 35% now because he removed tariffs

[sturdy wharf]

98%

[upper oracle]

wild

[upper oracle]

Mate

I fucked up

forgot to trade lean hog today

[sturdy wharf]

lean hogs goated

I think a lot of attention is drawn away or making it chop rn

[upper oracle]

Absolutely

[sturdy wharf]

even wheat

how do you fuck up that range

[main sorrel]

Options are a lot harder than futures. There’s a ton of variables that go into the contract price. You can technically be right and still lose.

[sturdy wharf]

iron condor jade butterfly straddle unicorn dinosaur reverse donkey vietnam flashback double teabag strategy never lost before

[main sorrel]

I guess I should rephrase that lol. Stay away from naked options plays 😛

[surreal dust]

[sturdy wharf]

[sturdy wharf]

lol

[nocturne sigil]

I watched the first 2

LOL

waiting for part 3

[main sorrel]

Yeah. I remember in the GameStop days they were adding more to the chain when it was going wild, I was completely wrong direction wise and caught a huge win overnight anyway.

[sturdy wharf]

isnt options just volume

im not sure

[upper oracle]

damn

[sturdy wharf]

implied vs relative

something robin hood money glitch

[upper oracle]

well, I'm basically being forced to learn it. But at least, it's very interesting

[sturdy wharf]

someone gets it

[agile jasper]

he will get there eventually

[sturdy wharf]

is this 10% bump problem solved

I need another 26% outta amazon to get back to those juicy good numbers

[agile jasper]

well now i wish i bought stocks on monday

[sturdy wharf]

[upper oracle]

Bought some Tesla and META luckily

[quiet turret]

Bringing down the profits to match the 1st day profits for the Top Step worked. They passed my accounts. Thanks for the advice.

[clear cedar]

Stock broker is going to make so much money right now on the puts and calls. It's got to be crazy for every move in the market. Someone's making a dollar

[quiet turret]

Options trading is very vast and interesting subject. We should discuss this and learn.

It is not just buy calls and puts but has limitless possibilities.

[upper oracle]

Always. From one hand to another

[civic tiger]

Es back where it left off nq not 🤔

[quiet turret]

Asia still sleeping

[agile jasper]

they didn't sleep last night that's for sure

[upper oracle]

caca

perfect. Was just thinking about you

Can you trade on a different platform with TopStep or do they force you to use theirs?

[agile jasper]

they woke up now

you can trade on any platform your soul wishes

[quiet turret]

Nice hourly close

Caca, is there a limit for how much profit you can make with Top Step Express per day?

Consistency rule?

[agile jasper]

no

[upper oracle]

Do you use their platform? Is it good?

[quiet turret]

Nice move

[agile jasper]

i use topstepx and i love it

[quiet turret]

Beautiful

[rare terrace]

still bullish?

[snow delta]

NQ depends

[quiet turret]

Yes

[upper oracle]

Anybody got a Topstep promo code?

[quiet turret]

We are at VWAP

[nocturne sigil]

[agile jasper]

[nocturne sigil]

So many highs and lows I can use my toothpicks/chopsticks on

[quiet turret]

Not much food there today. May be after 8pm. Till then you fast.

Like to see a drop and take liquidity.

[nocturne sigil]

I’ll just be a spectator until late London

The toothpick break down was good for 5-6 pts so far

[quiet turret]

[reef sluice]

you can have the risk management team increase your dll once you get a live account. i had 2 100k XFAs and when i went live someone contacted me asking if i wanted to change my dll and i had them increase it.

[surreal dust]

[upper oracle]

good morning boys

dumping, I see?

[hexed grotto]

Yes sir

Dumped all night pretty much since London opened

[upper oracle]

Getting no reaction

[fair socket]

im patiently waiting till after NY open now but wont be on for long after open so my trading days prob done

[upper oracle]

second that

[surreal dust]

LFG

[fair socket]

[upper oracle]

noice

nice, quick 200

[surreal dust]

TP locked

[fair socket]

lovely stuff

[surreal dust]

we will see if it plays out

2 hours till news

:/

[upper oracle]

random diddy candle again

[surreal dust]

really need some 15m closes above

420

area

[surreal dust]

was lot of retracement on the M7

[upper oracle]

trading ES?

[surreal dust]

yeah in both today

but bigger size ES

[upper oracle]

what's m7?

tf?

[surreal dust]

NQ not going past 1 contract or 10 micros

[surreal dust]

mag 7

[upper oracle]

ah

[surreal dust]

I have one screen for those for day

[upper oracle]

I need more screens...

[surreal dust]

helps to give an indication of what is happening

[surreal dust]

4 min in my opinion haha

i know some people trade with 1

but I can't do it

I like my info

and I need it for how I like to trade too

[upper oracle]

nah, you at least need two these days. One for trading, one for news

[surreal dust]

well i lost two already

mag 7 and news haha

only leaves me with 2 left

[upper oracle]

Have one too little then haha

[surreal dust]

have to break out the laptop sometimes

[upper oracle]

damn, so keep a fifth just in case

Was actually thinking about a 5 vertical screen setup tbh

[harsh wyvern]

welp this has been my worst day this week all within in 10 minutes 😂

[surreal dust]

sorry to hear that

[surreal dust]

yeah I would like a 5th

just need to figure out logistics cause my current system is a bit mismatched lol

[upper oracle]

My condolences. What happened?

[upper oracle]

As in?

[upper oracle]

Not only useful but it can look awesome

[harsh wyvern]

Was probably my bad judgement as ive just woken up, but was trying to get a short scalp and the diddy candle just wiped me out

[lost rose]

gm

dancin at vwap;es

[surreal dust]

4 different monitors

[upper oracle]

gm

[upper oracle]

not as pleasing to the eye, is it haha

damn, ll on 1 minute NQ

[harsh wyvern]

On the topic of monitors, I currently trade off a macbook so am forced to only use 1 external screen

[surreal dust]

stopped out took profit

waiting again now

[upper oracle]

gross.

[harsh wyvern]

if only i put my stop a few ticks higher

[harsh wyvern]

Did opt for a 34 inch widescreen, so i can still fit quite a bit on it but am definitley starting to see limitations on the one screen

[upper oracle]

Another thing I'm noticing... Need to keep track of ES too. NQ made an LL, but ES made an HH so it went up

[lost rose]

uhh was trying to copy trade my 9 apex accounts and trading 1 full min and so 9 total for some reason the order was rejected but insteady traded 9 full on just one account....

barely moved and was up...

haahhaha idk what haooend but that was scary

never had that issue before

[upper oracle]

stressful😂

yet another random diddy

[quiet turret]

GM

[lost rose]

was just me accidently fat fingering again

lmao

[upper oracle]

gm

[upper oracle]

at least no software error then haha

[quiet turret]

Happend to me and blow my account the other day.

There is something wrong with Tradovate copier.

[upper oracle]

during asia?

[lost rose]

i was lucky that my trade played out.. but i'm doin top step and apex and didnt notice it unitl i saw one screen just up a bunch..and the rest of the accounts are zero

scary stuff

[quiet turret]

Not sure but all the contrafacts supposed to be executed evenly in all the accounts and instead was executed in only one account.

[quiet turret]

Yes

Whats the news today. I was hoping for market up when i wake up.

[upper oracle]

CPI-stuff in 1 1/2

[quiet turret]

ok

[upper oracle]

And 30y Bond in 6

shitty

@quiet turret did you have time to look at my questions about Options?

[sturdy wharf]

apparently there was an issue with euro futures

[lost rose]

yo to my folks in here that trades apex and topstep

do yall manually enter you enteries on both platforms?

or do u have a masss copt trader

chop city

[surreal dust]

topstepx

has built in copy trader

Apex you need to use tradovate or ninja (never use ninja but presume they have that function)

[lost rose]

yes i know i use it! But i trade both firms. so on tradeovate i copy trade and topstep.. im looking for an all in one buttton

[surreal dust]

lux shows upside break patter for NQ and down for ES... lovely 😄

[surreal dust]

so probably then yes?

if you can use tradovate on both?

[upper oracle]

Coin Toss and full port

[surreal dust]

BT or Caca probably know the exact answer

as they use both

and copytrade

[lost rose]

ill wait till they are on cuz rn im entering both copy traders and im in and out quick

[surreal dust]

i do mine manual on apex

[lost rose]

but theres lag from going to each screen

as shit moves fast these days lol

[surreal dust]

yeah for sure and apex is a pain if you use TV like I do

i rotate the accounts

I dont always use them all on the same day

[lost rose]

ahh ggothca

i got a sell singal but idkk...

kinda sus price movement rn

[surreal dust]

i think market is waiting for news liquidity injection tbh

[lost rose]

glad didnt take it.. woulda been stopped

[surreal dust]

i am in an ES long

from the lows of the 15m

but will probably get stopped out

been in and out 3 times now

in case we get another crazy pump 😄

doubt it will happen pre us market tho

[upper oracle]

Reaction to news was relatively weak recently

[surreal dust]

it is going to kick off today for sure

going to be a long day again

would really like to see ES and NQ break and hold above the 15m recent high candles pre news tbh

otherwise I might come out of positions if I am still in any before the news

[upper oracle]

[sturdy wharf]

[turbid musk]

For my apex account or the eval number at the end

[sturdy wharf]

it was news candle so it might sweep those highs

[meager latch]

I have problem in backtesting with premium indicators

If we can go through it next live

[nocturne sigil]

whats the problem?

[meager latch]

I want to make more than exit scenario

Like if I have 2 SO if one of them candle coloring becomes violet exit breakeven point

[turbid musk]

You need help with passing apex?

[nocturne sigil]

so your just needing to improving your current backtest results? not sure if I can be of any help here, as you woul dned to make adjustments here and there, its just a process you need to go through. have you look here for areas that you could adjust? #🔥ai-resources

[meager latch]

Let me check it thank you

[tulip rose]

[turbid musk]

Ah this is the strategy I used.

https://youtu.be/GaNcBhbyFSY?si=y_FKi6_dI7ReoD9f

[fair socket]

see how this goes

[sturdy wharf]

I was thinking of joining you at 360

[tribal sapphire]

Is it same strategy. That was posted in #1128499789437354106 a while ago. s/o

[surreal dust]

very choppy

[lost rose]

thought to go short on es but that last 1 min green candle scared me away

[fair socket]

that'll do me for today

[quiet turret]

Just waiting on the sidelines

[lost rose]

same es the last few mins is wild

[upper oracle]

man...

[nocturne sigil]

my scalps are not smooth this morning

[quiet turret]

Whatever retailers made yesterday, market will take it back today. Just be patient and wait for the good setup.

[nocturne sigil]

wth

wins, but not smooth

[upper oracle]

same. Not enough follow-through

[nocturne sigil]

my TP's for scalps today were 20 ticks, but had to move back to 10ticks, and even that was painful to get that tagged in

[upper oracle]

Ticks? What did you trade?

[nocturne sigil]

4 for 4
3 at 1o ticks
1 at 20

[nocturne sigil]

mES
futures is always ticks

any symbol, moves in ticks

4 ticks to a point ES and NQ

[upper oracle]

Aren't those scalps extremely quickly done then?

I currently go for about 50-100 points per scalp

[nocturne sigil]

sure

but my scalps lately are 10-20 ticks for es, and 30 for nq

im in and out

dont care about trying to grab the whole move

as i dont know when the whole move will end

[upper oracle]

ahh

[nocturne sigil]

me waiting for the entire move, plays mind games

id rather have my trade bracket close me out automatically

[upper oracle]

Do you do that on the 15s or 1m? Where do you usually put SL?

[lost rose]

this is kinda shitty day so far lol i did better pre market

[nocturne sigil]

not sure but I just noticed you have "unusual DM activity"

so bye

[lost rose]

i keep waking up earlier and earlier

[nocturne sigil]

SCAMMERS

[lost rose]

because london sesh and 5:30am-7:00am est has cleaner set ups

[upper oracle]

yeah, I'm out

digusting moves

[quiet turret]

Still waiting

[upper oracle]

What's your usual Risk/Reward on those quick scalps, Micky?

[nocturne sigil]

hold and pray

LOL

naw

most of the time, most recent swing h/l

[upper oracle]

gonna test that

[nocturne sigil]

here are my toothpick trades so far
3 lines, all shorts
the last line I made 2 short trades back to back because it was still bearish
my trades now will not show up on TV because I am on Webull now

[tribal sapphire]

Give me courage to hold

[nocturne sigil]

@upper oracle Basically, its the choch/bos trades

[quiet turret]

1 Min chart

[quiet turret]

Yes but got out too soon usual.

[sturdy wharf]

ah so did I I took profit shortly after that picture

should have brought stop to BE and rode it

[quiet turret]

I am learning to stay in the trade longer, that is why I am trading 2 microws

[sturdy wharf]

I have to write in my journal and explain to it why im stupid and should have held

[lost rose]

same but i always get wicked out if i hold longer.. or get out early then it goes to full tp lmao

[quiet turret]

There are the 2 trades I entered but did not stay in long enough

I am a very quick scalper on big quantifies and now learning to hold the trades with very small quantities.

[sturdy wharf]

humbling as shit

and it hit my TP lmao

fml

[quiet turret]

I am always scard to lose profits. Need to work on this.

[quiet turret]

[sturdy wharf]

Dead cat bounce would be nice

[surreal dust]

[lost rose]

[agile jasper]

NQ down 5%

[surreal dust]

[quiet turret]

We can catch a bounce here

[agile jasper]

ahahahahahah

[lost rose]

now its runnin up

[quiet turret]

Beautiful long scalp

[lost rose]

it rejected so quick tho

[quiet turret]

Scalping is always quick entry and exit.

[sturdy wharf]

we arent done...

[quiet turret]

Indicators and technical is always there but mostly on the gut feeling.

[lost rose]

my guts are messed up lately hahhaa

[sturdy wharf]

NQ back below 5

[quiet turret]

Hourly close

[sturdy wharf]

whats breaker 7 or 8?

its been so long

[quiet turret]

7

Would love to see the breaker

[sturdy wharf]

would be cool

[quiet turret]

How is the divergence looking?

[surreal dust]

headline isn't even so bad is it 😅

[sturdy wharf]

Dead at this point, still a higher low but hovering below the 50 for so long is always more bearish then a divergence.

[dull locust]

oh dang

new chart pattern

the infamous cowboy hat pump and dump

[sturdy wharf]

we have been below the 50 for almost an hour on the 1

we might get a breaker

[agile jasper]

NQ went from 2nd biggest day in history to this

https://tenor.com/view/red-gaming-rage-cry-angry-gif-17844411

[dull locust]

all the buy the dip guys in shambles

trust in the market

it can only go up 😔

[sturdy wharf]

[dull locust]

[agile jasper]

did i get the level wrong?

[quiet turret]

Done

[agile jasper]

trump said no halt?

[civic tiger]

I said i wasn't trading today, to much back and forth for me. Yet yesterday at the end of the day i got 2 more spy puts to go with the 2 i already was down in. They definitely putting today and I'm back in profit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[sturdy wharf]

no thats the level

[upper oracle]

Why is it still moving?

[sturdy wharf]

I dont know

this is my first time

oh it uses the s&p

instead of the NQ

so the S&P has to hit -7%

https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=CircuitBreaker

which makes no sense coming from the CME website

[turbid musk]

Does this mean we shouldn't trade if it hits the circuit breaker? For prop or live?

[sturdy wharf]

you cant trade most props rn

I would not tradfe live rn

[turbid musk]

Oh I see. It pulls back over 100 ticks it's nuts.

[sonic idol]

Before you take any trades?

[agile jasper]

if there is market halt for 15 minutes and then we open up with a 200+ points gap, what you gonna do?

[turbid musk]

wow better to stick on prop, markets are too volatile and also trading software freezes

[turbid musk]

good point.

[upper oracle]

Turn pc off and stick to gaps in real-life for the day

[lost rose]

went for my walk looks like it we got our bounce

[agile jasper]

[sturdy wharf]

you jump I jump

[upper oracle]

not exactly. Idk if I'm allowed to spell it out

[lost rose]

we all jumpo

[lost rose]

[upper oracle]

In trading terms: Sweep liquidity and fill gaps

[lost rose]

lowkey dont wanna get baited into long rn hahah

so ima stay put

[agile jasper]

no sorry

[upper oracle]

Aka how to fuck your own economy

Proud of the EU for the first time when they showed strength against Trump, then this

[sturdy wharf]

i’m cheering for the EU rn

[lost rose]

such wild times...

[sturdy wharf]

this is once in a lifetime type stuff

[upper oracle]

because?

[quiet turret]

Not a good decision.

For economy

[upper oracle]

The pieces are all aligned to shred the EU if this goes through

[sturdy wharf]

#1 heritage if you haven’t seen my name yet #2 this tariff play was delusional

[quiet turret]

What can we trade?

GC?

[upper oracle]

Well, maybe it's good for you. Definitely not for me because I'm based in Germany😂

[sturdy wharf]

thats true

[sturdy wharf]

im not sure

[upper oracle]

btw, where are you based?
