i'd say im mostly momentum trading. tend to only hold a very small position overnight. so i just capitalize on the movement of prices, regardless of the direction. learned to cover my position with an option spread though, just in case it slips away again. <3

it's virtually impossible to reside in china long term as a foreigner with no legal domestic ties via family or some special talent exception from the gov for specialist foreigners.

everything's tied to the national ID card, although for the most part, a foreign passport will suffice. but banks and digital payment, which is what everyone uses (wtf is cash) is very hard to access with a foreign card. my wechat pay is bound to my family's card/id. so far they haven't pushed to isolate this/link it to just one person, so it's chill.

basically you need a local to help you get everything setup.

in terms of immigrants, it's mostly either students, teachers from abroad, or SEA maids. i think schools help students and teachers land on their feet, but idk how the maids go about tbh.

ethnic groups aren't really an issue. even in the same ethnic group, theres plenty of dialects in each province. muslims are pretty well integrated too. just don't do a terrorism and there are a fair amount of mosques in any notable city.

up until maybe 5 years ago china never needed foreign labor since its domestic workforce was so robust and plentiful, but it got too rich too fast, and it's stumbling really hard. if it doesn't streamline more international collabs it's going to stagnate very hard. i honestly have no clue what one belt one road does, and india is just party pooper for BRICS.

tldr: it's pretty hard to navigate setup for temp workers, and virtually impossible to settle without a local spouse

fair points. while i have quite a few EU contact/friends, i know my perception of how it is over there is far from comprehensive.

it's a hard line to walk, a nation should always prioritize its citizens' wellbeing and employment before entertaining immigrants, but there are many well-meaning immigrants who would be a definite + for the host nation, but not afforded the chance to integrate. china having issues rn, along with the other 2 east asian countries because none of us are immigrant nations.

honestly refugees are a big problem. while i'm not a fan of ukrainians, if europe finds them palatable, by all means. but the flood of MENA 'refugees' is reflecting poorly on immigrants of all creeds, and everyone but the 'refugees' end up as the ones suffering.

i was in france in the winter of '23, and the black frenchmen in and around paris seemed quite naturalized. which really makes me wonder why the others have such a hard time integrating, and why europe still puts up with people who clearly have no desire to fall in line with european cultures and values.

pretty mid ngl

blew my entire 6k profit on tuesday after prices soared while i was shorting and i panic bought near the peak, only for the price to drop in the money near close. made back 2k today though, so gonna start trusting my gut more. parents also said they wouldn't mind if i blew my entire capital so no more panic buying/selling.

tried a new drink from HeyTea and it slapped, barkeep, gimme another jasmine milk tea.

put on the thigh highs.

you're neither insufferable nor a fag, you're just very goofy.

looks kinda like polish but not enough consonants in a row

it would technically make you a reactionary. it's the radicals letting them in.
