2024.06.10 15:23 kayakero What is the Momentum Indicator and how does it work?
 | What is Momentum?Among all the indicators used for technical analysis, Momentum is one of the most widely applied used due to its simplicity. Shows the average speed of price change over a selected time period. In itself, this indicator allows us to anticipate a possible future change in the current market movement.This means that the prices on the chart can still grow, and the indicator will “draw” a maximum and begin to fall, only after which the quotes will change in a downward direction. Its fame is mainly due to its simple use, versatility and the fact that it is one of the few indicators that predicts future price behavior. The indicator not only reacts to the direction of price movement, it also changes the direction before the prices do. Definition of Momentum IndicatorDefinition of Momentum IndicatorThe indicator was created by the creative French mathematician Paul Emil Appell, it is of the oscillator type since it shows the trend in the prices of an asset and the changes it has had over a certain time. Its usefulness lies in anticipating trend changes and showing the speed of change in prices.The Momentum indicator is perhaps the most understandable of all trend indicators, it shows whether the trend is accelerating or decelerating and whether it is maintaining or slowing down. It is worth noting that all oscillatory methods are designed to trade in the direction of the prevailing trend, which is more important than any signal. In pronounced bullish or bearish market conditions, only signals that require buying or selling, respectively, can be used.

So the further the indicator moves from zero, the clearer the oversold or overbought conditions will be in the market. In turn, for different intervals or different currency pairs, the amplitude of Momentum swings will be very different.How to use it? In general, there are two main ways to interpret this technical indicator: The first is to use momentum as a trend indicator, whose interpretation is very similar to that of the MACD. Once the indicator hits the bottom and begins to rise again, a clear buy signal is produced, but if on the contrary the indicator rises, hits the ceiling and begins to fall, a clear sell signal is produced. As with any indicator, it is not advisable to rely on it alone to make decisions regarding opening positions in the market. It is advisable to complement the indicator with a short-period moving average through which the buy and sell points are determined when lines cross between both indicators. Furthermore, every time the indicator reaches extreme levels, both high and low compared to its historical values, in trading operations it must be assumed that there will be a continuation of the trend, which means that if at high levels, the indicator begins to decline. fall, it must be assumed that despite this, the prices of the analyzed asset are likely to continue rising. The same thing happens in the reverse situation, when the indicator is at very low levels in a downtrend market and suddenly starts to rise. As with other oscillators, this indicator can produce false signals in a market with a clear trend, which is why its use in lateral markets is more recommended. It is most advisable that the price confirms the signals provided by this indicator before opening a position. https://preview.redd.it/b2b4kzo4vq5d1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=7760bc8f5d43d39edbf3a5161361eb7924b4f766 The transaction is made at the opening of the next candle, if this opening (and the closing of the previous candle) occurs in the direction of the breakout of the 100 zone. The stop loss is set behind the last extreme of the price. Momentum is also used in trading as a leading indicator, based on the premise that tops in the market can be identified by rapid increases in prices (because most investors expect them to increase) while Bottoms are easily identified by rapid drops in prices (because most investors under those circumstances want to get out of the market). https://preview.redd.it/8msz88y6vq5d1.png?width=995&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4009af715abf1bae3f9faaacf3a70649766d60c A buy signal appears when the indicator or its moving average decreases by a significant amount, turns and begins to rise. This “significant value” will be different in each Forex currency pair and should be tested separately. Additionally, this value will also be different if other time periods are used. At the same time, it is more convenient to normalize the indicator graph, giving value to the greatest amplitude achieved. As a result of normalization, the graph will change from – 1 to + 1. BEARISH DIVERGENCES It occurs when maximums occur in the market; you can see how the indicator rises almost vertically until it falls, while the price still rises or moves with a lateral trend. This is interpreted as a sell signal. An example of a bearish divergence is observed in the NZD/USD pair, where a sell entry is shown, which occurs when the trend line breaks, confirming the subsequent short entry signal from the Momentum indicator. https://preview.redd.it/8v70nx6owq5d1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=299148c785f8a478a11a384b0d39eff9a75843c0 BULLISH DIVERGENCES It occurs when there are minimums in the market, the indicator falls very strongly and rises, before the prices do so, which continue to fall for a while. It is interpreted as a buy signal. An example of a bullish divergence is observed in the USD/JPY pair, where a long entry (buy) is shown, after the signal that gives the momentum and subsequent break of the secondary trend line. https://preview.redd.it/6hlsw1yswq5d1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5a21e84fe3bccd275f34ddb1cc6a94315ceb174 ICC strategiesThe tactics used with this indicator are part of the trend strategies. Following a momentum strategy is basically investing (taking long positions) in those financial assets that are showing a potential increase in price. Those assets that are following strongly bullish trends are purchased, hoping that this bullish strength will last over time. In strategies with this indicator, the strength of the movement is the key. Below are a series of examples of strategies that can be used:
Advantages and disadvantages of these strategiesMomentum has no permanent effect. It must be taken into account that it is not a type of “buy and hold” strategy. Assets must be evaluated on a recurring basis and, if necessary, modify the elements we have in our portfolio. Two consequences follow from this:The first is that it is a strategy that needs attention on a regular basis. The second consequence is that you have to pay attention to the commissions depending on the broker you work with. When using a momentum strategy for stocks, it is observed that the main strength is found in the diversification and risk management of each position. One of the main disadvantages of using strategies with this indicator is that stable returns are not achieved. It must also be taken into account that momentum investing is a long-term strategy. Therefore, by not having stable returns, there may be periods in which profits are not obtained and others in which they are obtained.

2024.06.10 14:17 drewszn28 Using Data Visualizations to compare Canes RFA’s
 | The Carolina Hurricanes currently have two big-name restricted free agents that they will need to make decisions on their future with the team. I created a couple of data visualizations using comparable RFA signings over the last 5 years. submitted by drewszn28 to canes [link] [comments] In the scatter plot, I used 31 forwards who have signed RFA deals over the last 5 years. With scoring being oftentimes being the best indicator of success for young players, I decided to use points per game as a way to level the playing field. On the y-axis, I used the years that the player has been in the league when the contract was signed, with a minimum of 25 games being played to count as a year. The dots are then colored based on the average annual value (AAV) of the deal that they signed. From there, I then could group players into distinct categories. In the red, these are players who were drafted high in their draft class or received large amounts of attention, ultimately not panning out to their full potential. Players like Jesse Puljujarvi and Kirby Dach were both top-5 picks that flat-lined as middle to bottom-six forwards. The unproven circle shows players who do not have enough experience in the world’s best league, therefore making it very tricky for owners to offer the players the value they deserve. In this graph, the two players signed dramatically different deals despite similar productions. Yegor Sharangovich would sign a small bridge deal, while Drake Batherson would sign a much larger 6-year contract. Next is the green circle, which represents players who signed bridge contracts, essentially bridging the gap between an entry deal and a large contract. Oftentimes, these can be labeled as “Prove it” deals, allowing the player to show what they are worth. Former first-overall pick, Alexis Lafrenière, chose this option and had a fantastic playoff performance this year. Fitting enough, Martin Necas previously signed a bridge contract and is inside of this circle. Stars are players that have oftentimes played in the league for a longer amount of time, progressing at a consistent rate. Superstars is explanatory, these players can score at ease and deserve to be paid for their worth. This leaves the last circle, the blue. This is where I believe is the best time to give fowards the long term contracts. In this range, we can find players like Matthew Tkachuk and Travis Konecny. For Martin Necas, I believe the direction is heading towards a trade. And for that, I think it is important to look at two players, PLD and Tippett. The harsh reality is that Necas can be compared to Owen Tippett for their goalscoring and playmaking similarities. However with a trade, oftentimes the receiving team will need to overpay. Tippett received an 8y$49.6m deal while PLD received 8y$68m. To further back up my point that Tippett and Necas are comparable, I looked at the on-ice goal differential. Martin Necas was 0.5, and Tippett was 0.3. Also, Troy Terry was 0.4, plays a similar play style, and received a $7m AAV contract. Expect Marin Necas to receive a 7 year deal, with an AAV close to 7.125 million. Seth Jarvis is a bit more of a wildcard, he was a younger star that performed better than Necas this year. With the Hurricanes making Jarvis their main target, it makes it more difficult to predict. They are able to throw a lot more money to keep him. If they are able to get him via a bridge deal, a 3y$21 million dollar deal would be ideal. If he looks to get more term, I could see him settling on a little less than 7 million per year unlike Svechnikovs 8y$62 million. With the concerns on Svechnikov's contract, I see the Hurricanes trying to avoid this. |
2024.06.10 14:02 bigcane_2 Strikes % that are in the zone? Away pitches represent 70% of strikes in college and MLB?
I was watching an ESPN YouTube video the other day where the commentator remarked that "70 percent of strikes in college and pro baseball are on the outer part of the plate..." Insinuating that if you cannot hit to the opposite field, you won't perform well. Ok... makes sense.
I feel stupid for asking, but where can I find this data? Is there a site that will allow you to see this graphically over time and levels? Like strike location for 2000s vs 2010s for college baseball? I know these numbers are out there. Is there a site a layman like me can consume them easily? Graphs are good. Thanks in advance.

2024.06.10 13:35 monkaSman Physical Therapy for Bicep Tear?
We tend to think of big bulging bicep muscles as a sign of strength and may take for granted the role that this upper arm muscle plays until faced with an injury. When suffering a bicep tendon tear or rupture you may wonder if you will ever regain your former level of function and how long it will take to recover if surgery is indicated. To better understand this type of injury, it helps to learn about the bicep and how it functions.
Anatomy of a Bicep
The bicep muscle is a long muscle that runs along the front of the upper arm. It is connected to the scapula (shoulder blade) and the radius (at the elbow) by two tendons. These two tendons, which are tough bands of tissue, connect muscle to bone and are called the long head and the short head tendon.
How Does Injury Occur?
Injury is often seen in individuals who engage in heavy lifting due to sports or work activities such as lifting heavy boxes. The flexion of the bicep at the time that force is exerted also plays a role in tearing a bicep tendon as the stress/strain curve graph shows.
Symptoms could include:
Pain
Bruising
Popeye arm, a contracted ball like deformity of the bicep muscle
An audible pop/snap sound
How to Differentiate Between a Distal Versus Proximal Bicep Tear?
British Columbia Medical Journal reports that bicep tendon tears occur most commonly in middle-aged men and that 96% involve a tear of the long head tendon. The following symptoms may be seen according to the site of injury.
Proximal Rupture
Pain, swelling and bruising in the upper arm and shoulder
Mild weakness or cramping when flexing or extending the upper arm
Popeye sign
Distal Rupture
Black and blue bruising and/or swelling of the antecubital fossa or the inner arm area opposite the elbow
Popping sound or sensation at the time of injury
Reverse Popeye deformity, muscle balling up near the shoulder
Diagnosing a Bicep Tendon Tear
Physical examination by your physician should be performed and if the injury is causing substantial pain, without great delay. According to OrthoInfo, your physician may determine that an x-ray, ultrasound, or MRI is necessary to rule out other potential pain-causing problems and for visualization of the torn tendon. Based on the diagnostic findings, your physician may recommend non-surgical options or perhaps a surgery called biceps tenodesis.
Non-Surgical Options
Pain relief and restoration of function will be the goal of conservative therapy. Rest of the affected arm and even use of the sling or immobilizer will assure the muscle and tendons have time to heal without risk of further injury. Over-the-counter NSAIDs may be prescribed to manage the pain. And then Physical Therapy may be used to aid in restoring the range of motion and maintenance of muscle strength.
Surgery and Post Surgical Care
If surgery is necessary, biceps tenodesis may be performed in which the torn tendon is reattached to bone with or without the use of metal hardware. Recovery can be expected in 3-4 months’ time and there may be activity restrictions advised such as no heavy lifting, driving, and use of an immobilizer.
The Role of Physical Therapy
Since the gradual reintroduction of strengthening and range of motion exercises will be needed in addition to adhering to physician-ordered limitations to allow for healing, the guidance of a trained therapist will be essential. A trained and qualified physical therapist will be able to guide you in your recovery and ensure a return to your baseline activity level.

2024.06.10 13:06 shreddedseamer Summer Savings: 10 Ways to Slash Your Small Business Energy Bill
The enduring cost-of-living crisis (which is expected to peak this summer) and skyrocketing fuel and energy prices have put small businesses and households up against the wall.
Default market offers (DMOs), a regulatory price cap — that energy retailers have to abide by — set on standard plans, rose to $227 in NSW; $165 in Queensland and $61 in Victoria in May this year.
To cushion the deteriorating effects of such events, the Australian government has allocated $62.6 million for an energy efficiency grants program for small (and medium) size businesses in budget 2022.
Energy is one of the most important aspects for any business, be it small or big. In Australia, small businesses are going through an impact due to a surge in power bills.
Understanding the usage of electricity when it comes to small businesses is also significant and crucial.
In this blog, we try to analyse the problem and try to figure out possible solutions, particularly for the summer when power usage gets high for most businesses in hospitality and service.
Here, you also get tips to reduce power bills during summer and also in the longer run.
Experts have predicted a steep increase in retail power prices, which adds to the worry, and it is not easy for small businesses to keep functioning under such circumstances.
The recent Ukraine-Russia war has added fuel to the fire with an increase in oil and gas prices as the coal-backed power stations have undergone outages.
The rising power bills have added to the woes of small business owners, who had already faced hard times because of the pandemic. Other major areas which have troubled small business owners include supply chain crunch and extreme staff shortages.
These have contributed to additional wage bills. Small businesses like salons to hospitality and dry cleaners are mostly affected by the surge in power prices, and they are looking for remedies to this adverse situation.
Industrial and commercial users who have high power usage, such as supermarkets, are exposed to the current market scenario. These also include high wholesale costs and added network charges.
As per an estimate, the average electricity consumption by any Australian small business is in-between 13,000 and 36,000 kWh (kilowatt-hours) per hour and this is an estimate for the small businesses in Australia.
The consumption is also dependent upon location, tariff, and nature of business. Though it must be noted that the electricity consumption also depends upon the size of the business, operational hours, total power usage requirements and energy efficiency.
There are different appliances and equipment that use energy to varying degrees. Air conditioning, heating appliances, lighting, laptops, computers, printers, internet routers, modems, refrigerators, and dishwashers are the usual suspects in small and medium business setups who are devourer of power.
Talking about Australia in particular, there are industries that use most of the electricity. At the top position is the manufacturing industry, which uses as much as 52,461 gigawatt hours as estimated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The mining industry is the second-highest consumer of electricity, with the usage of up to 23,424 GWh yearly. After mining comes the electricity, gas and water sector, which consumes up to 6,543 GWh per year.
The least amount of electricity is consumed by the construction industry, which amounts to 2,138 GWh annually. Coming to the average office power bill, the same amounts to $1045.
There are means by which small businesses can reduce their energy consumption. To begin with, they need to understand their business energy requirements. They need to figure out the appliances or equipment that use the most electricity.
Monitoring energy spending is another facet where they can control the usage of electricity. This could be done by installing energy monitors and then monitoring and understanding your energy usage patterns.
Installing solar panels and batter storage can also help in reducing the dependence upon energy retailers and small businesses can therefore cut down their power bills.
Albeit, the capital costs of solar panels are high, but it pays off well in the long run.
Finding the best electricity tariff deal for the business can also work out wonders. This can be done by comparing the commercial electricity plans and by researching and comparing the usage and supply of the power. Small businesses can also look for government-backed rebates and incentives.
The various state governments offer rebates and products that can help small businesses save some money. To cite an example here, business can get rebates under VEU program in Victoria and ESS program in NSW.
The Australian government has set a green house gas reduction target of 43% below 2005 levels. The government aims to achieve it through transitioning from gas and fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency programs like VEU and ESS.
The rebates, incentives, and discounts that are given to businesses for energy-efficient lighting upgrades vary in accordance with energy certificate price and type of activity.

Avail rebates offered by various state governments
Small businesses can also avail rebates offered by different state governments. They can replace old appliances like cloth dryers, heating and cooling appliances, fridges, freezers, hot water systems, commercial lighting, outdoor lighting, motors, and so on.The various state governments offer rebates and products that can help small businesses save some money.

10 tips for reducing energy usage in summer
Let us now share with you the tips that can help to reduce energy usage in summer. These tips can help small businesses to reduce energy use and save money in the longer run.- Choose a better energy retailer: compare the tariff offered by various energy retailers and choose the one offering the best deal.
- Go solar: A good alternative to grid power is solar power, and many small businesses throughout the world have cut down their dependence upon grid power by opting for solar power. Though the installation costs are higher, in the long-run, it gives respite to the businesses.
- Install LED lights: Energy-efficient LED lights equipped with add-ons like motion sensors offers greatest energy savings and longest lifespan.
- Run an energy audit: For this purpose, you can hire a company which helps you in auditing your energy usage. This provides you with a good perspective on all your energy needs and supply.
- Replace old appliances: Replace old and inefficient appliances with new ones. Check if you are eligible for incentives / rebates for the upgrades you’re planning to do.
- Use blinds to control direct sunlight: In the summer, blinds come handy to regulate temperature inside a workplace.
- Plant trees around your premises: Planting trees is a decent way to control the impact of outside weather on your building. It gives respite both in winters and summers.
- Install heat pumps: Heat pumps are a low-carbon emission and energy saving alternative to traditional air-conditioners. They can also be used for air-conditioning, space heating and water heating. When used for heating purpose, heat pumps are 3 to 4 times more efficient than conventional air-conditioners. In Australia, the annual energy cost of gas storage water heaters are 2.5 times more than high efficiency heat pump water heaters.
- Adjust your thermostat: Setting thermostat to 23–25 degree Celsius range is ideal for summer. Raising it by one or two notches brings more energy-savings.
- Apply reflective coating: By applying reflective coatings on external surfaces, small business owners can better regulate temperature inside the workplace and reduce energy usage of air-con system.
- Regular maintenance of appliances
2024.06.10 13:04 Bulky-Computer-1268 Should I get a second opinion?
 | Hi, I’m sorry to post as I have not been diagnosed. I’m not looking for a diagnoses but rather advice on if I should get a second opinion. submitted by Bulky-Computer-1268 to polycythemiavera [link] [comments] My case is a bit complicated as I have two hereditary blood disorders: b thalassemia minor and hereditary hemochromatosis (but currently not loading). B thal minor raises my RBC and lowers my hemoglobin. For a “normal” person with this condition, they would typically have above normal RBC, below normal hemoglobin and hematocrit due to hemolysis. I have almost every symptom of PV and “thick blood” and my RBC, hemoglobin (now normal), hematocrit (now normal) WBC, and platelets have been consistently rising. I also get high neutrophils and immature granulocytes. I consulted with a hematologist and he said I “100% do not have PV based on age alone” (I’m 38f). But I’m seeing a lot of young people on this sub? He was contradicting himself: “you have immature granulocytes because you probably have an infection” followed by “you don’t have an infection your WBC isn’t high enough”; I left the appointment pretty confused. I’ve read several studies that recommend testing for PV in patients with b thal minor if there is any deviation from an average baseline. I believe that’s my case. Unfortunately there are no specific number thresholds for thal and PV combo, it’s really at the discretion of the doctor. I’ve attached some graphs of my blood levels; I would like to note that the lower numbers as of recently have been recorded post open ab hysterectomy (was bleeding very heavy, another reason why my hemoglobin and hematocrit should’ve been lower). Since then my numbers have rebounded, some even higher than before (WBC and platelets). Is it worth getting a second opinion? |
2024.06.10 10:17 TeenageAngst1991 American consumer credit is tapped out and growth is off the table
 | Sources:https://www.federalreserve.gov/Releases/g19/current/https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/Interactives/householdcredit/data/pdf/HHDC_2024Q1.pdf?sc_lang=en What is consumer credit and why should I care?Different people use different metrics to determine whether the economy and/or the market is doing well. People use jobs numbers, inflation, the misery index, GDP growth, gas prices, shipping volume, etc. I use consumer credit, specifically the G.19 Consumer Credit Outstanding survey done monthly by the Federal Reserve. The reason is that the entire American economy sans public spending (which is laid out by congressional budgets ahead of time and already factored into total market valuations) eventually trickles down to what the average Joe goes out and buys. Yes, even AI and all the hype around that eventually comes down to "how can we use this to sell people stuff".Consumer spending drives market growth. Consumers spend beyond their means on a regular basis through the use of credit. This credit can be revolving, like credit cards, or nonrevolving, like home equity lines of credit (HELOC) or auto loans. The pulse of the consumer's financial health is the rate of growth of their revolving credit balance. A typical yearly cycle will see rising and falling credit balances with an average annual growth rate of about 5%. However, since 2020 this cycle has been anything but typical. In 2020, credit card balances dropped through the floor as Americans made the prudent decision to pay off their credit cards with the money from the government stimulus checks. This was followed by 2021 seeing a rapid increase in credit card spending, which economists were not concerned about as this was a "correction" back to previous debt and spending levels. The issue was that inflation was now beginning to outpace the rising wages people experienced during the pandemic, and in 2022 we saw an eye-watering 15% increase in revolving credit balances year over year. Keep in mind, the average yearly increase is 3-6%. This was primarily driven by inflation, as people were being forced to use credit cards to pay bills or for necessities. In 2023 we saw another 8.8% growth in revolving debt year over year, meaning this was on top of the previous 15% growth in debt from the previous year. This is likely due to the sticky inflation around core expenses like food, cars, housing, etc. This trend did not appear to be slowing down in Q1 2024 either. In January we saw a 7.5% YoY increase, and February another double-digit 10.7% increase. However, in March, growth of revolving debt is only 1.5%, and for April, the most recent number, revolving debt has actually gone down by -0.4%. What's going on? Did people suddenly stop charging on their credit cards? At first I thought this could be due to people using their tax returns to pay off their debts, but this data is seasonally adjusted, meaning the only way that could be the case is if people did not pay their credit card balances off with last year's tax return but this year they are. That would also imply that people are more financially sound this year than they were in 2023. Personally, I do not believe that is true, and I believe the motor vehicle loans prove this. What do cars have to do with credit cards?Motor vehicle loans reflect an American's largest consumer good. Growth in these loans for the past 3 years has been enormous as supply shocks, high interest rates, and lots of consumer demand drove prices of new and used cars up. But if we look at outstanding motor vehicle loans for Q1 2024 we see they've actually gone down compared to Q4 of 2023. What happened? Why would people stop buying cars in Q1, the time of year when people get a big down payment in the form of a tax return? Could people just be paying off their auto loans too?One thing you have to understand about the mentality of the American consumer is they do not know how to not spend money. The Becky Index illustrates this better than probably anything else. To quote a bible, "No amount of economic or political turmoil will keep women from their fake eyelashes." In 2020, people paid off debt with a windfall from the government because they had nothing to spend it on, they were locked inside their homes. Now, we have vacations to go on, cars to buy, expensive toys to flex, we as a consumer demographic will spend money compulsively, because at the bottom of our terrified souls the thing we fear most is for others to think we are struggling, or worse, poor. If consumers always spend money, why did they stop spending money?They didn't.When a delinquent loan becomes uncollectable, it is passed to a collections agency. The bank that held the loan then considers it a "charge-off" which is no longer a collectable debt, and thus it is removed from the numbers visible in the G.19 statistic. It is my hypothesis that consumers are still spending money on their credit cards and are still buying cars, but we have reached an inflection point where any increase in consumer debt through spending is countered by unpaid debts going to collections somewhere else. Consumers will spend money until they can't and what's happening is they literally can't. They have run out of credit and we are beginning to see the collections outpace new spending on the credit card and motor vehicle loans. Loan forgiveness and/or write-offs are inherently deflationary as they remove money from circulation via a contraction of the money multiplier. https://preview.redd.it/yi0toxne9p5d1.png?width=1789&format=png&auto=webp&s=be55701812a208c9e3905c0d0ba9b7e737b86c7e With the exception of Gen Z, credit card delinquency hasn't been this high since the great recession. You may also notice that this balance percentage lines up pretty well with the numbers for January and February revolving debt growth. Other interesting graphs are Transition into Serious Delinquency (90+) for Auto Loans by Age, and Auto Loan Originations by Age. All these signs, in my opinion, point to a tapped out American consumer, and without more consumer spending, growth is off the table. What's going to happen?No idea. People love to say that nothing will happen before the election, but we went from 9.8% revolving consumer credit growth to nothing in 1 month. Bear markets tend to happen fast and they tend to happen after a particularly bullish run, especially a bullish run that isn't based on any fundamentals and is highly speculative. I have no solid idea how bad a recession or market crash this is gonna be, or even if it will happen, I mean hell we've kicked the can this long. However, if I gaze into my crystal ball, this is what I see: Q2 earnings from consumer driven companies will likely be a little tepid. Not catastrophic, remember, people are still spending money, but down-ish. However, earnings reports are mostly about the outlook for the next quarter and remainder of the year. I would expect these companies to begin moving their expected earnings down for Q3 and end of year. Assuming the election theory holds true, the market will probably continue its bull run into November, after which I would expect all hell to break loose in Q1. However, I'm about 60/40 on before or after the election, and my 60% is on the September Bear coming out of its cave particularly hungry. There might be a slight pop around election time as the speculation cools down, but it will be a dead cat bounce. Unfortunately, I'm an amateur economist and not a financial expert, so I don't know the best instruments to capitalize on this information, however I am leaning towards volatility plays moreso than puts, since the market tends to go apeshit before it crashes.TL;DRConsumers are defaulting on debt as fast as they're spending and it's stalling out growth. No growth = no higher profits = boom goes the speculation bubble. |

2024.06.10 06:34 drewszn28 Using Data Visualizations to compare Hurricanes RFA's
 | https://preview.redd.it/ud34268nao5d1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9e2b6e327bc6d00872edcdb60d6a49fd5b88bec submitted by drewszn28 to nhl [link] [comments] The Carolina Hurricanes currently have two big-name restricted free agents that they will need to make decisions on their future with the team. I created a couple of data visualizations using comparable RFA signings over the last 5 years. In the scatter plot, I used 31 forwards who have signed RFA deals over the last 5 years. With scoring being oftentimes being the best indicator of success for young players, I decided to use points per game as a way to level the playing field. On the y-axis, I used the years that the player has been in the league when the contract was signed, with a minimum of 25 games being played to count as a year. The dots are then colored based on the average annual value (AAV) of the deal that they signed. From there, I then could group players into distinct categories. In the red, these are players who were drafted high in their draft class or received large amounts of attention, ultimately not panning out to their full potential. Players like Jesse Puljujarvi and Kirby Dach were both top-5 picks that flat-lined as middle to bottom-six forwards. The unproven circle shows players who do not have enough experience in the world’s best league, therefore making it very tricky for owners to offer the players the value they deserve. In this graph, the two players signed dramatically different deals despite similar productions. Yegor Sharangovich would sign a small bridge deal, while Drake Batherson would sign a much larger 6-year contract. Next is the green circle, which represents players who signed bridge contracts, essentially bridging the gap between an entry deal and a large contract. Oftentimes, these can be labeled as “Prove it” deals, allowing the player to show what they are worth. Former first-overall pick, Alexis Lafrenière, chose this option and had a fantastic playoff performance this year. Fitting enough, Martin Necas previously signed a bridge contract and is inside of this circle. Stars are players that have oftentimes played in the league for a longer amount of time, progressing at a consistent rate. Superstars is explanatory, these players can score at ease and deserve to be paid for their worth. This leaves the last circle, the blue. This is where I believe is the best time to give fowards the long term contracts. In this range, we can find players like Matthew Tkachuk and Travis Konecny. For Martin Necas, I believe the direction is heading towards a trade. And for that, I think it is important to look at two players, PLD and Tippett. The harsh reality is that Necas can be compared to Owen Tippett for their goalscoring and playmaking similarities. However with a trade, oftentimes the receiving team will need to overpay. Tippett received an 8y$49.6m deal while PLD received 8y$68m. To further back up my point that Tippett and Necas are comparable, I looked at the on-ice goal differential. Martin Necas was 0.5, and Tippett was 0.3. Also, Troy Terry was 0.4, plays a similar play style, and received a $7m AAV contract. Expect Marin Necas to receive a 7 year deal, with an AAV close to 7.125 million. Seth Jarvis is a bit more of a wildcard, he was a younger star that performed better than Necas this year. With the Hurricanes making Jarvis their main target, it makes it more difficult to predict. They are able to throw a lot more money to keep him. If they are able to get him via a bridge deal, a 3y$21 million dollar deal would be ideal. If he looks to get more term, I could see him settling on a little less than 7 million per year unlike Svechnikovs 8y$62 million. With the concerns on Svechnikov's contract, I see the Hurricanes trying to avoid this. |
2024.06.10 06:05 peeepeeepo0opo0o Research paper#1 Where did Sexcharo gain his powers from: A Detailed Analysis
 | Good day to my fellow reseachers and Sexcharo enthusiasts. I present to you my first ever WuWa research paper, hopefully the first of many. Today we are going to deepdive and try to answer the burning question : Where did Sexcharo acquire his powers from ? submitted by peeepeeepo0opo0o to okbuddywuthering [link] [comments] Sexcharo Let's look at his Resonator Frequency Evaluation and Assesment :
https://i.redd.it/z1m5iutd0o5d1.gif Also his abilities include but are not limited to summoning a clone to aid him in battle. https://i.redd.it/j1snfmjq0o5d1.gif Lets take a proper glance at his Sex Mode now https://i.redd.it/64nwvii71o5d1.gif Look at the golden core on his chest and the spikes on his arm. By careful deductions we can see a striking ressemblance to the overlord class TD, the Tempest Memphis who has similar physical features and the same battle tactics of summoning clones. - Come inside bro, I swear we wont jump you Now if I draw your kind attention to my ingeously crafted and well reseached cock size tierlist, https://preview.redd.it/81umu8n94o5d1.png?width=1140&format=png&auto=webp&s=32c8e13e773ce7ee65ce2af1adaa35ae8c8edb1e You will notice Tempest Memphis in the no cock tier i.e It is a female. Hence i conclude that Sexcharo fucked the Tempest Mempussy to gain his powers. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. I will be taking questions now. https://i.redd.it/3q5fk3955o5d1.gif |
2024.06.10 04:59 ohlookwhatyoudidtome What is a good method for generating a map of points, similar to a graph?
I'm making an overarching world map that is randomly generated consisting of different premade levels, I also need to be able to calculate distance between levels.
The best way I can think to do this is creating "points" on a "graph" similar to desmos where each point is a level. Can anyone think of a better logical way to approach this problem, or any tools/resources to assist me? I have not done a project similar to this before, so any information or insight is appreciated.
Thanks in advance, my apologies if I left out any details, I'm trying to be as concise as possible.

2024.06.10 03:49 tummi_92 WHAT IS THE SHORT INTEREST?? My analysis and why it is not the same as DAILY SHORT VOLUME
As always this is not financial advice! Do your own DD and take everything you read with a grain of salt.
My goal with this post is to layout what we KNOW (or at least have data to back up) Vs. what is unknown or being misinterpreted by a significant part of the sub.See my other post on Fails to Deliver: Here
Because we are limited to 1 picture per post I will be linking to a google doc with screenshots. Here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V4dyUh0A9zGarmxxQQMvUT_lD1IcRCSxAvxC1LTQHlA/edit?usp=sharing
Hopefully this starts a discussion in the comments please refute anything you disagree with but back it up with sources.
While I appreciate Max-P's post there are a few areas that I think the data has been misinterpreted. Mainly the difference between short volume and short interest and what is provided in the Daily FINRA data. While I am bullish and like the stock, I think the worst thing for our community is for misinformation to be spread and believed and then eventually disproven. This erodes confidence and can create panic selling which is the last thing we want!
The following is my analysis of the data available through a variety of sources. All opinions are my own and in no way serve as financial advice.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT SHORT INTEREST??
Short Answer:- There is no way to know for sure and there is no silver bullet with the answer. My belief is short interest is at least 8.89% or 36.2M shares and likely much closer to 18% or 79.12M or even higher. And their is a significant likelihood of large naked short interest.
- WE KNOW IT IS NOT EQUAL TO the Daily Short Interest Volume number provided by FINRA This number only represents the VOLUME of shares traded short NOT the current short interest!!
- First, get comfortable with the reality that we can not know or fully understand the tools available to Hedge funds and how they can manipulate the perception of short interest.
- The Short interest noted above is based on Ortex which I believe to be a fairly reliable source. Feel free to read about their Short Interest Data collection. [S1]
- Estimated Short interest on Ortex (see Slide1)
- Short interest % of FF = 8.87%
- Short interest = 38.62M Shares
- Shares on Loan = 79.12M Shares
- Cost to Borrow = 13.67%
- Utilization = 94.43%
- Why the range of potential short interest?
- I believe the large discrepancy between # of shares on Loan vs. short interest indicates a much larger short interest. Looking at a variety of other stocks these data points are much closer. No where have I seen approx. double to shares on loan as the stated short interest. Although shares can be on loan for a variety of reasons I do not believe this large variance is a coincidence.
- Why might there be significant naked short interest?
- If we can trust the Seeking Alpha ownership breakdown (Slide3) it is the following:
- If we are to believe this data, than Institutional investors do not own the necessary shares to back their short positions. (alternatively the public holds all the short positions but I don't think that is very likely based on public sentiment and how things have played out)
- Thus we can assume their is likely a significant or at least some level of naked shorting going on.
- What IS the relevance of FINRA Daily Short interest Volume?
- Short Daily volume indicates the number of transactions of shorted shares and if this remains high with no price fluctuation as it has over the last week it suggests new short positions going in and out NOT the originals being returned. This is backed up by the Ortex new loan vs returned loan numbers (Slide4)
- As can be seen in the graph the On Loan -New line (purple) is rarely overcome by the On Loan -returned line (green). This suggests the net number of shorted shares has increased or remained the same since early May.
- I have taken the FINRA daily short volume numbers from May through the last trading day (June 7th) and that is depicted in (Slide5)
I am unfortunately out of time for today but plan on expanding on this tomorrow.
A final point to note!Short Volume on June 7th was the highest have seen since the day the hedgies drove the price below a dollar. BUT WE STILL SAW A GREEN DAY! This along with high utilization indicates we are continuing to buy up the float and that they are running out of shares to short. Regardless of what the short interest may be if we continue to hold the float they will have no way to cover their shorts so even if it is lower than you were hoping say we can still squeeze it!
REMEBER TOGETHER APES STRONG!!!!!
2024.06.10 02:49 ItStaysAnonymous I keep crashing in specific roblox games
I use a PC to play roblox that I've had since January. I don't remember if this problem had been happening since I got it, but for as long as I can remember I only crash in specific games after awhile or at certain times such as level 51 at doors everytime the moment I get there I crash. Also in dress to impress when people are walking on the runway it'll show the frame where they just walk in and I'll crash. There are some more games but I don't know why it does this, I also have to keep my games on 1 graph because anything above and I'll lag.

Guy I'm re-posting incredible DD from my friend Howardkitty94 Link is below to origina post. I've been seeing lots of doom and gloom and heavy bot activity. Personally, I'm zen like RK. I love GME stock, and trust that moves by RC are in the best interest of the company long term. Anyways without further ado, please see post from someone with a wrinkled brain. Ahoy ! (as always this is purely speculative and not meant as financial advice)
75 million shares might have created a "bear trap"... LEAPS are still screwed... : Superstonk (reddit.com)
75 million new Gamestop shares diluted the market on Friday...Tanking the price intraday...
Short volume? Not been this high for a very long time...
Some swing traders felt like the stock will go down...Why? Because every time we made a run we made a pullback in the last month...
But this might have given some unintended fruit...A bear trap
The average borrow rate (fee+rebate) has been dropping for the last few days but remains very high...
Short interest has been declining as a percentage, is that because we see less shorts? No
It is because the volume is crazy...
That skews things...
The 75mm new shares set a trap for some people with smooth brains...they baited...they are in...now they are screwed...Why?
What can trigger a short squeeze?
If positive news are released by the company, this creates further price movements up...
When (if but we know the probability), some call options for 21st of June are exercised...what happens?
What if in a hypothetical scenario, calls were bought, portion of it sold to repurchase for the following week, while partially exercising the rest? Persistent gamma ramp...
Now shorts will rush to cover their positions...
But new ones will be made...making a cycle...Why? Because we have been very volatile the last month...Some idiots will try to swing...Every time we hit a new high someone will try to short again...
Massive number of LEAPS expire this on the 21st of June...Reportedly at of the entire float...I estimate 84% but I cannot prove this as LEAPS do not have to be reported at all..
Now add this to the official short interest...Well just look at the table below.... people who have shorted are f'ed...but not as f'ed as the people holding the LEAPS...
Everyone needs to chill out, yes the 75 Million dilution was a kick in the teeth...Yes it does dampen MOASS a bit, but if anything it does guarantee it, because it fulfils the market sentiment criteria for a short squeeze...
Now I expect Ryan Cohen to deliver something big this week...(It might start with "Bed")
I hope the call numbers also go up for the next few weeks...
Why is the volume so high? Is it because of the massive shorted shares? Yes, but also no to an extent.
Many banks (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan etc), use algorithms to trade volatile stocks...These algorithms are based on the exponential moving averages and the ichimoku cloud (among others)...
Example:
When the 9 day EMA moves below the 20 day EMA, it generates a sell signal...The algorithms sell...
When the 9 day EMA then moves above the 20 day EMA, it generates a buy signal...algorithms buy..,
When 9 day moves below the 20 , 50 and 100 EMA in quick succession a triple crossover happens...they sell harder and vice versa...
Now Gamestop has had a massive influx of trading activity, both buying and selling....The increased volatility causes multiple crossovers in a day...At least 90 single crossovers, 45 double crossovers, and up to 5 triple crossovers...
I expect to see a triple crossover once every 4-5 days on a stable stock...
That is PARTIALLY, why the volume is elevated...(apart from the manipulation)...

What can trigger a short squeeze?
- Short Interest Levels: For a short squeeze to be likely, the short interest level typically needs to be exceptionally high.
- 48%-64% is exceptionally high, but let us not forget the LEAPS that do not have to be reported which the short hedge funds entered into in 2021...So we have this condition met...
- Stock Price Movements: Rapid and unexpected upward movements in the stock price are necessary to trigger panic hedging among short sellers...
- Call options are flooding in, and although the idiots buying the 125 dollar call options do not contribute to the Gamma Ramp, there are a substantial amount for the next 3 weeks...If call options open interest (quantity) increases we are likely to see rapid price movements like we saw this week...It was to do with a gamma ramp...Once the 75million shares are diluted we can expect another gamma ramp...(but a gamma ramp only happens when a MM thinks a call is going to be ITM, if someone buys a 125 call they won’t hedge, they’ll take the risk, they will hedge calls near the price market at that moment)
- Market Sentiment and Catalysts: A positive catalyst or a shift in market sentiment could prompt a price increase...
- A merger and Acquisition announcement this week could create positive sentiment and outlook for the company...Triggering a change in narrative of it's potential fundamentals in the media
- Wu Tang Clan NFT speculation
- Potential really high
If positive news are released by the company, this creates further price movements up...

2024.06.09 22:49 carotids Please help. Constant crashes after 220 hrs. No mods.
Long term addict, I mean player. I've been expanding my world to try to get the golden nut before 1.0. Suddenly the game has been crashing. It's in a similar place and similar time which makes me wonder if it's item related. Is there a way to see if a piece has been placed somewhere that is causing the error? My steam files are validated. I'll update my video drivers, but I don't think that's it. Thanks in advance!

previous week's range
this report shows you stats on how this week's price action relates to last week's high & low.
last week's high and low are key levels that should be considered in this week trading. this report was built to help you understand the odds of certain levels being touched based on last week's range.
if you see that the highs most frequently get touched, and price is trending upward, you can take trades targeting last week's highs.
SNAP has touched the previous week's high 57.69% of the time and the previous week's low 38.46% of the time.
SNAP has touched BOTH the previous week's high and low 11.54% of the time, and didn't touch either high or low only 15.38% of the time.
why previous week's range is important:
in simple terms, this report gives you the stats on how likely it is for price to reach certain levels.
if you see that lows then highs getting touched happens very often (in the second graph) you can use this to take very simple trades.
if you see that previous week's high gets touched very often, you can take trades targeting previous weeks high — even if you don't swing trade, you can open new, bullish, positions each day targeting the highs.

2024.06.09 21:10 Bonjonsie The Jonsie Burrows: Help Wanted 2 Part 8.999
Previous part: 8.99.
The Jonsie Burrows: Help Wanted 2: Tables of contents
One thing that I'm not getting here is why Vanessa is even a part of Vanny or Glitchtrap's situation since Double-V is true. When I originally thought up Double-V, I was originally thinking that Vanessa and Vanny were two different people and/or were sharing the role of "Vanny".
It's just one of them was more willing than the other to be a part of Glitcthtrap's machinations than the other. I didn't put too much thought into it, but it was something I wanted to look for until that Security Team revelation came about.
But now, I'm left with this puzzle piece called Vanessa that I'm not quite sure what to do with now that I know that Vanny is an entirely separate person from her.
She has to be involved with Vanny and Gltichtrap somehow. Maybe the therapy tapes will help.
Also, after going through Vanny's secret dialogue in Help Wanted, Vanessa's overall demeanor in both Security Breach and the Retro Cds clashes hard with Vanny's in both games. Where Vanny sounds and reads eager and nervous, Vanessa is defiant and reluctant with depressed undertones.
Is Vanessa really infected with Glitchtrap?
Yet now that I'm thinking about it, Glitchtrap has no need to do this as him sitting through Vanessa's therapy session with her would give him this info if she was infected. Who's ever doing this doesn't much about her, but would very much like to. Is it Vanny or Gregory...
Wait, hold on. Vanessa's first therapist mentioned that messages were encrypted and couldn't make out what the conversation was about. But the second therapist can understand these messages to know that they're manipulative in nature. Are these two different messengers?!
" I’ve read them, but it’s not clear what you’re talking about in these conversations. I can’t make sense of it. You must be getting something from these that I’m not getting." - The first Therapist
"but what bothers me about what I read is that the messages you're getting seem very manipulative in nature." - The second Therapist
What changed? Hmm... What exactly is an encrypted conversation? Maybe explaining that will help.
Encrypted text messaging is a method of secure communication that converts your messages into code. This means that only the recipient with the correct decryption key can read it. - Google
That sounds like what the first Therapist is referring to, but she mentions that they got the transcripts for it. Does that mean that got the code or the decryption key to read it? No, she says transcripts, which means the code itself.
But whatever the first Therapist saw in that transcript was legible enough to read and comprehend. This means the conversation wasn't in computer coding that would require someone in the tech field to decipher it, but just ordinary talk that's hard to understand what it's about.
Okay, that clears things up, they're still the same messenger.
Again the "he" here, and the "he will always be watching" part allude to Glitchtrap at first glance. And again, it can't be him because he should be within Vanessa since they merged in Help Wanted! Even if you dismissed the ending I proposed for Vanny and went with the ending where she gets locked up by Glitchtrap, it still wouldn't be him messaging her about watching here because he would be in her body!
And like I already said before, Vanessa has shown no memory problems or bodily control problems, which would've suggested Glitchtrap's control. No, this means that Gregory is doing all of this.
But why is he going after Vanessa? Geez, It's been a while since I even thought about his past before Security Breach. I forgot how much of a black hole of questions he is, regarding the lore. I'll give my updated thoughts about him after the Double-V revelation later.
For now, after going through all of Gregory's dialogue in Security Breach. It looks like he's not quite aware of the ongoings within the Pizzaplex and is shocked by the level of security can employ later in the night. There may actually be a hint of his hacker background in his dialogue if you squint. And Gregory has absolutely no idea what the rabbit laddy's name is until he gets to Fazerblast.
As for Gregory's involvement with Vanessa... Huh, that's weird. Gregory doesn't say Vanessa's name even once in Security Breach. Matter of fact, after the beginning sequence where Vanessa confronts Freddy about him, Gregory just stops talking about or even mentioning her for the rest of the game. This includes the confrontation that leads to her locking him up in Lost and Found and after it...
No matter how you slice it, Gregory's silence about her is super loud with alarm bells. Sure, he dismisses her as working with Vanny in the beginning, but it shouldn't mean that she should be an afterthought to him! Like, Gregory only talks about or mentions "the rabbit lady" after the beginning of the game.
In fact, if we were to rank every important character that Gregory talks about or mentions in his dialogue for Security Breach from most to least, it would look like this.
Even when discovering Vanny's hideout in Fazerblast and Freddy suggests that Vanny is Vanessa due to deduceing Vanny's name being a combination of Vanessa + Bunny, Gregory remains silent about it! No, "Oh maybe you're right." or "That sounds too simple to be right", but instead there's no response to what might be the identity of your pursuer!
It's like he doesn't want to talk about her...
He knows her, he has to know Vanessa! Yet, he said, "I don't know who she is, but she's trying to get me!" to Freddy. Is he lying? No, he just knows about her.
I'll admit that I'm ignorant about therapy, but should your therapist have access to stuff you created outside of therapy? Unless Gregory created the program on a computer in therapy. It could explain how he's gotten access to Vanessa's files. But I'll drop that talk for now.
Something that's being made clear to me now is that Vanessa is not as connected to the villains as Gregory is, as she's more surprised by the changing of therapist than he is. In fact, Gregory knows why the therapists are disappearing, knows exactly when the therapists do something that would cause them to disappear, and doesn't seem upset when they show up mangled and dead.
But more than anything, Gregory knew Vanny long before Security Breach started. There's no reason why Gregory would know Vanny has enough control over the Pizzaplex to cut off Freddy from the network, in just one encounter. If anything, he should have assumed she was some weirdo stranger in the Pizzaplex that the security and the police needed to take care of.
But he already knew that Vanny had power in the Pizzaplex, maybe not the full scope, but enough to know that if she and he ever came into conflict with one another that ended with her wanting to hurt him then he needed to get out of the Pizzaplex.
Funnily enough, this actually lines up with the first-ever trailer for Security Breach, where Vanny says: "Gregory, I may have lost my temper earlier. But it was just a glitch!" Which implies they were talking neutrally before whatever made Vanny lose her temper. Again, I'm not using this as evidence as it's been cut, instead, I'm suggesting that the idea might have merit.
But what about Vanessa? Is Gregory hacking into her files or is it Vanny and Glitchtrap? Or perhaps Gregory is hacking into her files on behalf of Glitchtrap and Vanny. Either way, Vanessa is getting dragged into Gregory and the Villian's group chat.
Speaking of the therapy, if we take into account the Retro-CD's numbering system the first two numbers are the patient ID number, and the last two numbers are the number of times both Gregory and Vanessa have been to therapy, then we can uncover some invaluable information.
Gregory has been in therapy longer than Vanessa and he was also in therapy before her too. But combining this CD's numbering system with a theory from the Talesbook story, GGY, that Gregory only goes to therapy on Sunday. Then Gregory has been going to therapy for a year and a half.
And if Vanessa is following the weekly therapy session pattern, then she's only been going to it for a little more than half a year. This means she started her therapy just about after Gregory hit his half-year mark for therapy. In addition to all that, Vanessa stopped going to therapy once she was transferred to a new location and never met the fourth and final therapist of the CDs.
Just something you all should keep in mind.
But Gregory definitely knows about her at the very least. That knowledge, I guess, is the reason why he's so shocked to see her face under Vanny's mask in the "To The Rooftop" ending. He knows that Vanessa and Vanny are two different people, but doesn't know that they look alike because he never encountered Vanny before Security Breach without her mask or costume.
On the subject of costumes, I still got no answer for Vanessa's purchase of fake animal fur or what's even happening with her now.
To be honest, this would be so simple and easy if Vanessa was just Vanny. But like as I have shown many times before in both this series and the previous one, simple and easy answers are not always the correct ones.
So, instead of looking for signs of the villain's goal with Vanessa in the lore. Let's look at the similarities and differences between the double Vs.
Vanessa's characteristics are.
Anyway, as you can see, there are some very similar likes between the two and very stark differences in traits as well. I'm not about to list them to save word space, but instead, I want to answer a question. Could Vanessa still be Vanny despite their differences? This isn't so much for me, but for the people who believe Vanny = Vanessa despite my Double-V evidence.
At first, I thought there might've been a chance for that as they both like flowers, to read, and enjoy the outside, or at least the summer in Vanny's case. But now, after listing everything out they're just too different to say they're the same.
Even if we say that Vanny's love of pizza, general bad diet, and trashy room is the result of Vanessa coping with her depression and her situation with Glitchtrap and that her graffiti is the by-product of therapy, along with her interest in growing flowers. That doesn't negate the fact that in Ruin when given the chance to express her anxiety, Vanny doesn't take it.
If you don't know, on the wall where Vanny drew her face next to a slice of pizza in the main lobby near the Superstar Daycare entrance, there is a painted graph. The artist who made the graph also wrote on the right side of it; "TAG YOURSELF".
On all four sides of the graph, the artist made the furthest sides of them represent something. The top Y-axis is Wizard, the bottom Y-axis is Cedar, the left X-axis is Filled with a word that ends in a y, and the right X-axis is Filled with anxiety.
What this graph is showing, or what the artist trying to convey with it, is that each of the four points represents not quite the opposite thing but the furthest thing from each other. Of which, Vanny decided to tag herself on the [furthest left X-axis](https://imgur.com/j9ND1V3), not the right.
This tells us that Vanny feels the furthest thing from anxiety. Something Vanessa, no matter if she's under Glitchtrap's control or not, would be constantly feeling as she suffers from it.
As for what she's feeling, I don't know, the word on the left graph is unreadable and covered by Vanny's face to make it almost impossible to decipher. But what I do know without a doubt, is that Vanny and Vanessa are indeed, two different people with some common likes and polar opposite traits.
So after everything I've talked about in the last three? four? However many parts I've been going over Double-V, what is the best possible answer for the "To The Rooftop" ending stinger. Why do Vanny and Vanessa look alike?
I tried, I really did. I looked for as much possible evidence for anything that doesn't just make me give up and say "She's a Fazgoo clone!" or "She's a robot!"
If Vanny was a stranger who mimicked Vanessa's face, then that's cool and horrifying, but only where it concerns Vanessa herself. (The horrifying part, not the cool part.) It doesn't give us reasons why she would do it in the first place or a way to connect it to the greater lore and Glitchtrap, besides she's a human Mimic. Basically, it lacks motivation from everyone in the Villian party.
So it leaves me with no other conclusion except for one.
Back when the marketing for Security Breach was building up to its release. Steel Wool released four old Freddy cartoon episodes on their YouTube channel. Each episode hides a teaser image for the lore, including a character from the games with words, along with a character stinger at the end.
The last cartoon, which is the most distorted one, just so happened to include Vanessa as the hidden teaser, and Vanny as the character stinger at the end. And before you all jump the gun, previous episodes have already established that the hidden character teasers have no correlation to the ending Character stinger.
Now, the words in the Vanessa teaser image are quite interesting. It includes "Test and Rat" in the upper right corner, "Pool" in the bottom left corner, and "Bleak Reactant".
Test and Rat could be Test rat or Laboratory rat (Lab rat) as in the species of rat that are bred and kept for scientific research. Lab rat here can also be referring to Vanessa being a lab rat for the villain's experiment for something.
Using that explanation, "Pool" would then mean group or pool of people, which means number of people available for an organization or group to use. So Pool would mean that Vanessa was chosen out of all the Fazbear employees or people in general to be used for the experiment.
This leaves us with Bleak Reactant, which the definition of reactant is a substance that takes part in and experiences change during a reaction, while the definition of bleak could mean lacking vegetation (an area of land), dreary (a room), miserable(the weather), or unfavorable (outcome.)
All of this together means that Vanessa was chosen by the villains out of a group of people to be used for an experiment. An experiment of a change in Vanessa that predicted an unfavorable outcome for the villains.
Vanessa was going to be the next Vanny or maybe something else.
That gives a reason why the villains were so interested in her, why she would be shopping for a costume, why she would be at the Pizzaplex, and why she would be still connected to the villains when someone else is Vanny.
But the reason she was chosen in the first place, why her out of a group of people that might've included Gregory in it too, is because the one who chose her was her own twin sister.
If anyone remembers my only Ruin theory then you would remember my mentioning of Glitchtrap's and Vanny's conversation from Scott's website from a Security Breach poster.
Glitchtrap: "Stay the course."
Vanny: "I will."
Glitchtrap: "Focus on my voice."
Vanny: "I will."
Glitchtrap: "Don't let anyone lead you astray."
Vanny: “I won't.”
Glitchtrap: "Have you selected one?"
Vanny: "I have."
In my theory, I proposed that Gregory was the one that Vanny mentioned selecting here. But now, with all the revelations and new information gained, I believe Vanessa works better here. Vanny would've chosen someone for an experiment that she personally knew of or gotten to know, and who better than her own sibling that she grew up with.
Remember, Vanny is just starting out in her following of Glitchtrap. So would be new to the whole evil thing. And most of the time, the people close to you are the ones that would most likely commit a crime against you.
As for the twin sister thing, it actually didn't come from the "To The Rooftop" ending, but a discussion from the GTlive stream where Mat hosted a little get-together with some of the FNAF YouTuber theorists after Security Breach. There, John Fuhnaff suggested the idea for it from the VR Sisters boss from the Security Breach game Scott made when Security Breach got delayed again.
It's something that I saw some merit in after I discovered the Vanny ≠ Vanessa and after disproving in my head that Vanny wasn't Tape Girl either. The best part of the twin sister thing is that there's no need to throw out all that we know from Vanessa's therapy sessions as they both share the divorced parent's backstory.
As for which is the order twin between the two, I believe Vanessa is the oldest since it makes sense that her father would use the oldest to testify against their mother as she would better understand his instructions. Plus it provides a potential grudge from Vanny to Vanessa for what happened to their mother and a misguided parental affection for Glitchtrap. Unless Vanny's just a fangirl of William Afton, which could be the case.
Also, this means that the reason Vanessa looks the way she does in "To The Rooftop" end credits is because she looking at her dead sister. Oof, I realized that this also means she would've been the one who finds what's left of her in the "Disassemble Vanny" ending too. No wonder Faz Ent. is temporarily closed if they find that one employee is disassembled and the other one is having a mental breakdown from it in the morning.
But what about the "Redemption" ending? We know that by beating PQ3 both Glitchtrap and Vanny are defeated in it. What happens to her then? Where did she go? Hmm... I'm not sure.
What happens when someone is unmerged after being merged for a long time? Unlike Vanessa, we know that Vanny lives in the Pizzaplex. Even by Ruin and Help Wanted 2, she's still living in the building despite its condition so she probably needs time to think and process what happened to her and what's she done. Oh, and therapy. And a house.
But I think that just about wraps everything up for— Wait, HW2's Candy Cadet story! I forgot all about it! I know some people mentioned that the second story had to do with Vanessa, Gregory, and Gltichtrap. Let me skim through that real quick for clues.
Oh. Oh, that's real interesting... But it along with the Jeremy and the Memory dolls can wait until after next time. Sorry for the little to no pictures, I needed space to fit everything in one post and wanted to get everything about Double-V out of the way before I go on hiatus.
Don't worry it has nothing to do with burnout. It won't be too long either, though knowing my track record when saying that, you probably don't believe me.
Truth is, I've been severely neglecting my YouTube channel, and should really start catching up the YouTube version of my series with the online version. Plus, I've got more "Prove it!" to work on.
But most important of all, my birthday is coming up, and I don't want to work, think, or have anything to do with my FNAF stuff on that day. So! Feel free to read and become full with these last few Parts until I come back with more.

The Jonsie Burrows: Help Wanted 2: Tables of contents
One thing that I'm not getting here is why Vanessa is even a part of Vanny or Glitchtrap's situation since Double-V is true. When I originally thought up Double-V, I was originally thinking that Vanessa and Vanny were two different people and/or were sharing the role of "Vanny".
It's just one of them was more willing than the other to be a part of Glitcthtrap's machinations than the other. I didn't put too much thought into it, but it was something I wanted to look for until that Security Team revelation came about.
But now, I'm left with this puzzle piece called Vanessa that I'm not quite sure what to do with now that I know that Vanny is an entirely separate person from her.
She has to be involved with Vanny and Gltichtrap somehow. Maybe the therapy tapes will help.
- CD 1-Therapist: — but a routine check of your online history has revealed that you spend quite a bit of time with someone in an encrypted conversation. We have transcripts, and I’ve read them, but it’s not clear what you’re talking about in these conversations. I can’t make sense of it. You must be getting something from these that I’m not getting. Right? Who are you talking to in these?
- CD 5-Therapist: — Apparently, the IT department has put together a pretty lengthy report chronicling non-job-related communications that have been coming to your computer. — what bothers me about what I read is that the messages you're getting seem very manipulative in nature. —You know who I'm talking about. What you might not know is that this person who's been sending you messages has been hacking into your personal files too.
- CD 5-Vanessa: Lots of people know more than I do. Sometimes I need to listen.
Also, after going through Vanny's secret dialogue in Help Wanted, Vanessa's overall demeanor in both Security Breach and the Retro Cds clashes hard with Vanny's in both games. Where Vanny sounds and reads eager and nervous, Vanessa is defiant and reluctant with depressed undertones.
Is Vanessa really infected with Glitchtrap?
Yet now that I'm thinking about it, Glitchtrap has no need to do this as him sitting through Vanessa's therapy session with her would give him this info if she was infected. Who's ever doing this doesn't much about her, but would very much like to. Is it Vanny or Gregory...
Wait, hold on. Vanessa's first therapist mentioned that messages were encrypted and couldn't make out what the conversation was about. But the second therapist can understand these messages to know that they're manipulative in nature. Are these two different messengers?!
" I’ve read them, but it’s not clear what you’re talking about in these conversations. I can’t make sense of it. You must be getting something from these that I’m not getting." - The first Therapist
"but what bothers me about what I read is that the messages you're getting seem very manipulative in nature." - The second Therapist
What changed? Hmm... What exactly is an encrypted conversation? Maybe explaining that will help.
Encrypted text messaging is a method of secure communication that converts your messages into code. This means that only the recipient with the correct decryption key can read it. - Google
That sounds like what the first Therapist is referring to, but she mentions that they got the transcripts for it. Does that mean that got the code or the decryption key to read it? No, she says transcripts, which means the code itself.
But whatever the first Therapist saw in that transcript was legible enough to read and comprehend. This means the conversation wasn't in computer coding that would require someone in the tech field to decipher it, but just ordinary talk that's hard to understand what it's about.
Okay, that clears things up, they're still the same messenger.
- CD 11-Therapist: So, on your breaks, it looks like you were shopping for a costume. You purchased some fake fur material.
- CD 11- Vanessa: I can't talk about this. He said he would always be watching. He could be here or there or anywhere in between.
- CD 11-Therapist: No, that's not what I mean. You can't just ignore an issue. You have to face your memory of the experiences and process them so you can let it go. So you don't get triggered anymore. you can use this sort of self-dialogue to release these things
- CD 11-Vanessa: I don't like doing that.
Again the "he" here, and the "he will always be watching" part allude to Glitchtrap at first glance. And again, it can't be him because he should be within Vanessa since they merged in Help Wanted! Even if you dismissed the ending I proposed for Vanny and went with the ending where she gets locked up by Glitchtrap, it still wouldn't be him messaging her about watching here because he would be in her body!
And like I already said before, Vanessa has shown no memory problems or bodily control problems, which would've suggested Glitchtrap's control. No, this means that Gregory is doing all of this.
But why is he going after Vanessa? Geez, It's been a while since I even thought about his past before Security Breach. I forgot how much of a black hole of questions he is, regarding the lore. I'll give my updated thoughts about him after the Double-V revelation later.
For now, after going through all of Gregory's dialogue in Security Breach. It looks like he's not quite aware of the ongoings within the Pizzaplex and is shocked by the level of security can employ later in the night. There may actually be a hint of his hacker background in his dialogue if you squint. And Gregory has absolutely no idea what the rabbit laddy's name is until he gets to Fazerblast.
As for Gregory's involvement with Vanessa... Huh, that's weird. Gregory doesn't say Vanessa's name even once in Security Breach. Matter of fact, after the beginning sequence where Vanessa confronts Freddy about him, Gregory just stops talking about or even mentioning her for the rest of the game. This includes the confrontation that leads to her locking him up in Lost and Found and after it...
No matter how you slice it, Gregory's silence about her is super loud with alarm bells. Sure, he dismisses her as working with Vanny in the beginning, but it shouldn't mean that she should be an afterthought to him! Like, Gregory only talks about or mentions "the rabbit lady" after the beginning of the game.
In fact, if we were to rank every important character that Gregory talks about or mentions in his dialogue for Security Breach from most to least, it would look like this.
- Freddy - 33 times
- Vanny - 6 times
- Chica - 6 times
- Roxy - 4 times
- Monty - 3 times
- Moon - 3 times
- Vanessa - 3 times
- Burntrap - 1 time
Even when discovering Vanny's hideout in Fazerblast and Freddy suggests that Vanny is Vanessa due to deduceing Vanny's name being a combination of Vanessa + Bunny, Gregory remains silent about it! No, "Oh maybe you're right." or "That sounds too simple to be right", but instead there's no response to what might be the identity of your pursuer!
It's like he doesn't want to talk about her...
He knows her, he has to know Vanessa! Yet, he said, "I don't know who she is, but she's trying to get me!" to Freddy. Is he lying? No, he just knows about her.
- CD 14-Therapist: —They report that they've caught you on camera, or at least it appears to be you. — Well the techs are convinced that you've hacked into their system many times. — the electronics you like? I saw in your file that you have developed software programs that talk to you and repeat phrases, right? The program asks you questions and prompts you for responses. It's kind of like your own self therapy, isn't it? Another way of talking to yourself to work things out, right? When I saw some of your recent encrypted conversation logs, that's what I thought I was looking at. It felt like I was watching someone go back and forth in their own head, but the text found something that's different than that. When I read what they found, at first I thought I was looking at more examples of you just talking with yourself. Then I realized it was different. When I study this, it sounds like there is someone else responding to you. Who is it?
I'll admit that I'm ignorant about therapy, but should your therapist have access to stuff you created outside of therapy? Unless Gregory created the program on a computer in therapy. It could explain how he's gotten access to Vanessa's files. But I'll drop that talk for now.
Something that's being made clear to me now is that Vanessa is not as connected to the villains as Gregory is, as she's more surprised by the changing of therapist than he is. In fact, Gregory knows why the therapists are disappearing, knows exactly when the therapists do something that would cause them to disappear, and doesn't seem upset when they show up mangled and dead.
But more than anything, Gregory knew Vanny long before Security Breach started. There's no reason why Gregory would know Vanny has enough control over the Pizzaplex to cut off Freddy from the network, in just one encounter. If anything, he should have assumed she was some weirdo stranger in the Pizzaplex that the security and the police needed to take care of.
But he already knew that Vanny had power in the Pizzaplex, maybe not the full scope, but enough to know that if she and he ever came into conflict with one another that ended with her wanting to hurt him then he needed to get out of the Pizzaplex.
Funnily enough, this actually lines up with the first-ever trailer for Security Breach, where Vanny says: "Gregory, I may have lost my temper earlier. But it was just a glitch!" Which implies they were talking neutrally before whatever made Vanny lose her temper. Again, I'm not using this as evidence as it's been cut, instead, I'm suggesting that the idea might have merit.
- CD-Therapist: — I have this still shot the techs pulled from the security footage that recorded you in the pizzaplex. That's you, isn't it? I know this image is distorted but I think it looks like you. And you're not alone here. You're talking to someone, or something. it's hard to tell. What are those things? They almost look like rabbit ears. What? You find that amusing? Well I guess it is.
But what about Vanessa? Is Gregory hacking into her files or is it Vanny and Glitchtrap? Or perhaps Gregory is hacking into her files on behalf of Glitchtrap and Vanny. Either way, Vanessa is getting dragged into Gregory and the Villian's group chat.
Speaking of the therapy, if we take into account the Retro-CD's numbering system the first two numbers are the patient ID number, and the last two numbers are the number of times both Gregory and Vanessa have been to therapy, then we can uncover some invaluable information.
Gregory has been in therapy longer than Vanessa and he was also in therapy before her too. But combining this CD's numbering system with a theory from the Talesbook story, GGY, that Gregory only goes to therapy on Sunday. Then Gregory has been going to therapy for a year and a half.
And if Vanessa is following the weekly therapy session pattern, then she's only been going to it for a little more than half a year. This means she started her therapy just about after Gregory hit his half-year mark for therapy. In addition to all that, Vanessa stopped going to therapy once she was transferred to a new location and never met the fourth and final therapist of the CDs.
Just something you all should keep in mind.
But Gregory definitely knows about her at the very least. That knowledge, I guess, is the reason why he's so shocked to see her face under Vanny's mask in the "To The Rooftop" ending. He knows that Vanessa and Vanny are two different people, but doesn't know that they look alike because he never encountered Vanny before Security Breach without her mask or costume.
On the subject of costumes, I still got no answer for Vanessa's purchase of fake animal fur or what's even happening with her now.
To be honest, this would be so simple and easy if Vanessa was just Vanny. But like as I have shown many times before in both this series and the previous one, simple and easy answers are not always the correct ones.
So, instead of looking for signs of the villain's goal with Vanessa in the lore. Let's look at the similarities and differences between the double Vs.
Vanessa's characteristics are.
- Depressed
- Has anxiety issues
- Tired (It's something that has been mentioned by the first and third therapists in CD-1 and CD-10. But seems to have more to do with the messages she's getting than how she usually is.)
- Likes the blue sky
- Likes to sit outside and read
- Watchful about her calorie intake
- Likes flowers or at least the sweet smell of them
- Doesn't like dark basements
- Oh, and hates kids
- Loves Pizza, especially pepperoni (Huh, no wonder she likes Chica)
- Absolutely, does not care about her calorie intake or a healthy diet (Seriously, Girl has gone full gamer mode with the amount of Fizzy Faz, straw drinks, and pizza boxes in areas with her presence in them)
- Hobbies in painting or graffiti
- Likes or used to like Glitchtrap or maybe William Afton (I talk about this in the secret ending)
- Loves Fazbear Entertainment (Vanny uses red spray paint in Ruin and has drawn two hearts on the FAZ ENT. Logo in the main Lobby)
- Likes Toy Chica
- Likes the Daycare Attendant (She seems to be fond of Moon more)
- Likes to read, or at least, read about the World History of Fazbear Entertainment
- Likes Flowers, a specific species of them(that I can't determine right now)
- Likes summer
- Is a mechanic or roboticist or both (She making something in Ruin Fazerblast and has turned Ruin Monty into her lapdog among other things)
- Super lazy (This one may or may not be true, but unless there's a good reason why she refuses to clean up her room in Fazer Blast, this is staying right here as far as I'm concerned)
Anyway, as you can see, there are some very similar likes between the two and very stark differences in traits as well. I'm not about to list them to save word space, but instead, I want to answer a question. Could Vanessa still be Vanny despite their differences? This isn't so much for me, but for the people who believe Vanny = Vanessa despite my Double-V evidence.

2024.06.09 20:34 tempmailgenerator Resolving Facebook OAuth Permissions for Ruby on Rails Applications
Overcoming OAuth Challenges with Facebook Integration
Integrating Facebook Login into a Ruby on Rails application can significantly enhance the user experience by streamlining the sign-in process and providing a seamless way to connect users' social profiles. However, developers may encounter challenges when configuring OAuth permissions for new applications. Unlike the straightforward process experienced in previous setups, certain permissions like 'public_profile' and 'email' now require additional verification steps. This shift reflects Facebook's ongoing efforts to tighten security and privacy measures, ensuring that applications accessing user data have legitimate business reasons to do so.When faced with the message "Your app has standard access to public_profile. To use Facebook Login, switch public_profile to advanced access. Get Advanced Access," developers might feel confused, especially if their other applications didn't encounter such hurdles. The requirement for "verification required" even for standard permissions like 'email' and 'public_profile' marks a new compliance level. Understanding these changes and how to navigate the verification process becomes crucial for implementing Facebook Login successfully. Two days post submission of the necessary company documents can see the revival of Facebook Login functionality, indicating the importance of compliance with Facebook's updated policies.

Navigating Facebook Login Integration Challenges
Integrating Facebook Login into a new application often presents unique challenges that developers need to navigate. A common hurdle is meeting the stringent requirements set by Facebook for accessing user data, such as email addresses and public profiles. Unlike in the past, Facebook now requires business verification for apps that wish to utilize Facebook Login for authentication purposes. This verification process is designed to protect user data and ensure that only legitimate businesses can access sensitive information. The process involves submitting various documents that prove the authenticity of the business, including legal documents, business licenses, and other formal identification that can verify the business's legal status and operational integrity.Once the verification process is initiated, developers may find themselves in a waiting period where the functionality of their Facebook Login integration is limited. This period can be frustrating, as it directly impacts the user experience and the app's ability to gather important data for user profiles. However, it's important to note that this is a standard procedure, and patience is key. Typically, within a few days to a few weeks, Facebook completes the verification process, and upon approval, apps gain advanced access to the necessary permissions, such as email and public_profile. This advanced access enables developers to create a seamless login experience for users, leveraging Facebook's vast user base to simplify the login process and enhance user engagement with the application.
