Mastering Forex Auto Trading Bots: A Comprehensive Guide to Automated Forex Trading

Introduction:

In the fast-paced world of Forex trading, staying ahead of the curve is essential for success. With markets operating 24/7 and prices fluctuating rapidly, manual trading strategies may not be sufficient to capitalize on every opportunity. This is where Forex auto trading bots come into play. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about Forex auto trading bots, from their benefits and functionalities to best practices for implementation and optimization.

Understanding Forex Auto Trading Bots:

Forex auto trading bots are sophisticated algorithms designed to execute trades automatically in the Forex market based on predefined rules and criteria. These bots leverage advanced technology to analyze market data, generate trading signals, and execute trades with speed and precision, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Benefits of Forex Auto Trading Bots:

The benefits of Forex auto trading bots are multifaceted, offering traders a range of advantages that can significantly enhance their trading experience and performance. Let's delve deeper into each of these benefits:

Efficiency and Speed: Forex auto trading bots are designed to execute trades swiftly and efficiently, often in milliseconds. This speed far surpasses the capabilities of human traders, enabling bots to capitalize on fleeting market opportunities and minimize latency-related losses. By executing trades with lightning-fast speed, auto trading bots ensure that traders can enter and exit positions promptly, maximizing the potential for profit and reducing the risk of missing out on profitable trades due to delays.

Elimination of Emotional Biases: One of the most significant advantages of Forex auto trading bots is their ability to eliminate emotional biases from the trading process. Human traders are often susceptible to emotions such as fear, greed, and impatience, which can cloud judgment and lead to irrational trading decisions. By executing trades based solely on predefined rules and criteria, auto trading bots remove the influence of emotions from the equation. This leads to more disciplined and consistent trading, free from the psychological pitfalls that can plague human traders.

24/7 Market Monitoring: Forex markets operate around the clock, spanning different time zones and continents. For human traders, keeping track of market movements and opportunities can be challenging, especially during off-hours or when traders are unavailable due to other commitments. Forex auto trading bots address this challenge by operating continuously, providing traders with round-the-clock market monitoring and execution capabilities. This ensures that trading opportunities are captured promptly, regardless of the time of day or night.

Backtesting and Optimization: Forex auto trading bots offer the ability to backtest trading strategies using historical market data. This allows traders to evaluate the performance of their strategies, identify strengths and weaknesses, and optimize parameters for better results. Through iterative testing and optimization, traders can refine their trading strategies over time, improving profitability and reducing the risk of losses. By leveraging the backtesting capabilities of auto trading bots, traders can make informed decisions based on empirical evidence rather than guesswork or intuition.

Diversification and Risk Management: Auto trading bots enable traders to diversify their trading activities across multiple currency pairs simultaneously. This diversification provides several benefits, including spreading risk across different assets and reducing exposure to individual market movements. Additionally, auto trading bots can incorporate sophisticated risk management techniques, such as position sizing and stop-loss orders, to help traders manage risk effectively. By diversifying their trading activities and implementing robust risk management strategies, traders can mitigate potential losses and safeguard their capital in volatile Forex markets.

Forex auto trading bots offer traders a range of benefits, including efficiency and speed, elimination of emotional biases, round-the-clock market monitoring, backtesting and optimization capabilities, and diversification and risk management benefits. By leveraging these advantages, traders can enhance their trading performance, maximize profitability, and achieve their financial goals with confidence and consistency.

Implementing Forex Auto Trading Bots:

Define Trading Objectives: Before implementing Forex auto trading bots, clearly define your trading objectives, risk tolerance, and performance metrics. Determine whether you're aiming for short-term gains, long-term growth, or income generation. Establishing clear objectives provides a framework for selecting the right bot and designing a suitable trading strategy.

Choose the Right Bot: Select a Forex auto trading bot that aligns with your trading objectives, strategy, and technical expertise. Consider factors such as speed, reliability, performance, and compatibility with your trading platform.

Backtest Your Strategy: Backtest your trading strategy using historical market data to evaluate performance and identify areas for improvement. Adjust parameters and optimize the bot based on backtesting results to enhance its effectiveness and profitability.

Monitor Performance: Regularly monitor the performance of your Forex auto trading bot and make adjustments as needed. Evaluate key metrics such as profitability, drawdowns, and execution speed. Be prepared to adapt the bot's parameters and settings to changing market conditions.

Stay Informed: Keep abreast of market developments, news events, and economic indicators that may impact currency prices. Adapt your Forex auto trading bot to changing market conditions and refine your strategy accordingly to capitalize on emerging opportunities and mitigate risks effectively.

Conclusion:

Forex auto trading bots offer traders a powerful tool to streamline trading operations, enhance efficiency, and capitalize on market opportunities. By leveraging the benefits of automation, traders can eliminate emotional biases, optimize trading strategies, and achieve consistent results in the dynamic Forex market. With a well-designed strategy and the right Forex auto trading bot at your disposal, you can navigate the complexities of Forex trading with confidence and achieve your financial goals.

A "reciprocal tariff" implies that the country we target with it is tariffing us. The problem is the countries listed on that damned board are NOT tariffing us like that. The White House took the trade deficit we have with the countries, divided it by their exports to us, and is claiming that is the tariff percentage that country has levied against us. Tariffing them all half of that hogwash number then seems like we are being lenient or leveling the playing field to anyone who accepts this as fact.

We aren't punishing them for tariffing us. We are punishing ourselves for buying more from a country than we sell to it.

This is something all advanced economies do. Advanced economies import food and cheap goods, and export technology and services.

Every single advanced economy on earth has trade deficits with some of the countries it buys goods from.

They are counting on you to not care or not understand this.

Korea is listed as 50 percent tariffs against us on that stupid chart.

On average Korea tariffs us at less than 1 percent and has a free trade agreement with us.

We are reacting with a 25 percent blanket tariff.

Just because they made Donald a chart does not make the data on that chart TRUE.

We are a uniquely strong global superpower, some of these countries will be forced to play ball. That doesn't make this the truth. And the truth used to matter here.

The truth is the steel mills aren't coming back and the auto-factories are going to use 5 and 6-axis robots to assemble their cars, not us.

I beg you. Look into these numbers. Tariffs this broad and this strong nearly starved your great-grandparents a hundred years ago. We had to put niacin in the food to prevent pellegra.

You owe it to them to understand what's actually happening.

One of the staggering things the latest Cybertruck recall has revealed—other than Tesla’s use of the wrong glue—is that Elon Musk’s company appears to have sold 46,096 of these 7,000-pound electric pickups since customer deliveries began a little over 14 months ago. This is far fewer sales than Musk predicted for the Cybertruck just weeks before the rollout; he told investors that Tesla would soon sell 250,000 Cybertrucks per year.

On an earnings call a month before the November 2023 launch of the production vehicle, Musk boasted that Tesla had bagged “over 1 million” Cybertruck reservations and that “demand is off the charts.”

“Reservationists” initially paid $100 to join the queue, a refundable deposit later raised to $250. Car companies often open wait lists for models expected to outstrip supply, but most auto executives don’t expect that all of those who lodge deposits will follow through.

“The automotive industry aims for a conversion rate of around 2 to 16 percent” on reservations, Stephanie Valdez Streaty, director of industry insights for car tech firm Cox Automotive, tells WIRED.

By that reckoning, Tesla’s conversion rate is just under 5 percent. That’s at the lower end of the conversion scale, but many experts, used to Tesla’s stratospheric sales, might consider that a flop. Analysts generally don’t treat the world’s richest automaker like a regular car company. Its stock trades at many times earnings, valuing it multiples higher than companies that sell more cars.

If manufacturing capacity is any gauge of the sales numbers that Tesla was expecting, then the company must be sorely disappointed, because the Texas Gigafactory, where the Cybertruck is made, has the capacity to build more than 125,000 of the pickups per year. But, according to a Business Insider report from January, poor Cybertruck sales led to workers being taken off the “Cyber” production line and moved to a Model Y line.

Tesla’s current elevated worth is based not on its actual sales but on predicted sales of yet-to-be-launched robotaxis and humanoid Optimus robots, which—like the Cybertruck, slated to arrive three years before it went into production—could be several years away from being mass produced.

“My predictions have a pretty good track record,” Musk told Tesla staff at an all-hands meeting on March 20, but none of those present dared to ask him whether he had predicted the anti-Musk backlash that is tanking Tesla sales around the world.

And for all Musk’s bluster at the staff meeting that Tesla is “by far the most innovative company in the car industry,” it really isn’t. Chinese automakers such as XPeng, Nio, and Li Auto are far ahead of Tesla on autonomous driving and other technologies.

Waymo is already offering driverless taxi rides. Nor is Tesla the only company plotting a future for humanoid robots. In a recent TechFirst podcast, author Peter Diamandis stated there were 15 other companies also in this race—and none of those have a leader as controversial or as divisive as Musk.

“This year, we hopefully will be able to make about 5,000 Optimus robots,” said Musk. “That’s the size of a Roman legion. Which is like a scary thought. Like a whole legion of robots. I'll be like, ‘whoa.’”

Musk’s exuberance continued as he claimed Tesla would make “probably 50,000-ish [Optimus robots] next year.” He further claimed that Optimus “will be the biggest product of all time by far—nothing will even be close. It’ll be 10 times bigger than the next biggest product ever made. Ultimately, I think we’ll be making tens of millions of robots a year.” Seconds later, he upped the ante even further, stating that, no, Tesla would actually make “maybe 100 million robots a year.”

Grandiose predictions excite Tesla bulls who believe him when Musk says “I know more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on Earth,” but back in the real world Musk is in charge of a car manufacturing company that can’t even spec the correct grade of panel glue.

Now on its eighth recall in the past 14 months—prior recalls involved failing windshield wipers, trapped accelerator pedals, and possible loss of power to the wheels—Musk’s polarizing polygonic pickups are in sales free fall. Month-over-month Cybertruck sales were down by 32.5 percent in February, according to estimates by Cox Automotive.

“The Cybertruck generated significant buzz with its unique design and ambitious specifications,” says Cox’s Streaty. “However, sales have fallen short of expectations due to higher-than-promised prices, lower driving range and payload capacity, and production issues. The unconventional design hasn’t resonated with traditional truck buyers, and strong competition from Rivian and Ford has intensified the market.”

The Cybertruck, she adds, is a “niche product with a unique design and high price point, which may not resonate with mainstream consumers. Additionally, recalls and quality concerns can significantly undermine customer confidence and sales, posing a substantial challenge for the Cybertruck’s market success.”

When unveiled in 2019, Musk promised the production vehicle would launch within two years, starting with a $39,900 model. At the actual launch in 2023, the base model cost $21,000 more than that. The Foundation Series model—an early-doors special—cost an additional $20,000 despite offering no physical differences other than a look-at-me logo. Nonphysical perks included lifetime cellular connectivity and “free” access to Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system.

Forbes spoke with experts who estimate that Tesla sank at least $2 billion into the development of the Cybertruck. A traditional car might need 200,000 units per year to cover the research and development costs, Olav Sorenson, professor of strategy and sociology at UCLA and faculty director of its Price Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, has estimated.

Sorenson calculates that the Cybertruck, with its stainless steel body panels and unconventional construction, might require as many as 300,000 sales per year.

At current levels of Cybertruck sales Tesla “probably loses money on every one,” claims Sorenson. “It’s an innovative vehicle, but whether such an unusual design would appeal to consumers has always been a gamble. The DeLorean, the original stainless steel car, sold only about 9,000 units. Even more mainstream cars with unusual designs, such as the PT Cruiser, have struggled to reach profitable sales levels.”

Sadly for Tesla, Musk’s wedge wagon went from a million or more reservations—which many thought would take some years to work through—to walk-up availability at dealerships within months.

This swifter-than-expected softening of demand might have been partly due to the Cybertruck’s now notorious quality-control issues. “When we launched reservations for the Valkyrie, we knew that this would be a highly desirable car due to its limited production and the personnel involved in the car’s development,” says former Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer. “People could rely on Aston and knew [the new car] was something we’d deliver. For the Cybertruck, we’ve seen a string of delays and a moving of the goalposts, which conveys a lack of reliability, and if the OEM isn’t reliable, why should customers be?”

A reservationist from northern Maryland, who says he was sold early on Musk’s promise of an electric pickup, spoke to WIRED on condition of anonymity. “I was planning on buying a truck and wanted my next vehicle to be electric,” he says. “At the time, the Cybertruck was the only EV pickup that seemed like it would be available soon. I placed an order with $100 refundable for the mid-tier one, but then the Cybertruck took much longer than originally promised, so I canceled my reservation.” He didn’t regret this decision. “With the events of the last couple of years, and especially the last couple of months, I would never now consider buying a Tesla vehicle.”

The deal breaker for many reservationists was the cost hike. “The Cybertruck was promised to start at $39,990 when the initial reservations began—a stratospheric difference from the $99,990 Foundation Series trucks that were first available,” says Joseph Yoon, consumer insights analyst at the car-shopping website Edmunds. “Even the cheapest base model now has an expected base MSRP of $60,990, and it’s likely that not many customers are willing to bridge the vast pricing gap.”

Tesla sold merely 38,965 of the angular EVs last year, according to Kelley Blue Book estimates. In January, Tesla introduced discounts to clear Cybertruck inventories with Foundation Series models still in stock, a variant Tesla was supposed to have stopped selling in October.

Tesla is now offering low financing rates to move Cybertrucks. Indeed, it has reportedly buffed out the badges on Foundation Series vehicles that failed to find a buyer so they can be sold as regular models. To clear yet more Foundation Series Cybertrucks from inventory, Tesla dealerships have also listed perks such as free lifetime Supercharging. The electric pickups are even piling up on used-car lots.

President Trump publicly encouraging Americans to buy Musk’s cars at a White House sales event is unlikely to have moved the needle much—and Tesla, which did not respond to a request for comment on this article, is facing a “brand tornado crisis moment,” says Dan Ives, a Tesla bull. The company’s shares have dropped nearly 40 percent since the start of the year, erasing the value hike it enjoyed in December after the election of Trump, a victory bankrolled in part by Musk.

The subsequent animus directed at Musk adds to the many other challenges that Tesla faces, including—the refreshed Model Y Juniper excepted—a jaded lineup of offerings.

Any novelty bump that may have boosted the Cybertruck’s initial sales has now most certainly worn off. Earlier this year, a research note issued by Morgan Stanley cited “decelerating Cybertruck volumes” as a reason for expectations of lower 2025 Tesla volume growth.

Other analysts have also expressed concern, with the Cybertruck cited as a drag on Tesla’s value. Swedish billionaire and hedge fund manager Christer Gardell recently issued a stark warning about Tesla stock. Talking on Swedish TV, he said Tesla’s valuation could drop steeply.

“Tesla,” said Gardell, “is probably the most expensive stock on the global stock exchanges right now. It could go down 95 percent—and maybe it should go down 95 percent.”

While other analysts see Telsa as a tech company with massive potential for non-auto sales, Gardell sees merely a car company. He does not understand why the market treats Tesla with such reverence. Tesla’s “valuation is incomprehensible,” he told the EFN channel. A crash is coming, he believes. “It’s always hard to say when. It could happen in a month, six months, a year, three years, or five years.” But it was clear in the interview that Gardell thinks it is coming.

And, for all of Musk’s recent praise for the Cybertruck’s five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration—Musk has stated the Cybertruck is “apocalypse-level safe”—any Tesla market crash will at least partially be due to the lower-than-expected sales of the Cybertruck.

Ultimately, Tesla’s CEO might rue the day he categorized his predictions as having a “pretty good track record.” On a 2023 earnings call, Musk confessed that the auto brand had “dug our own grave with the Cybertruck.” If things for the brand continue on their current trajectories, he may well have got this one right.

sellbot cog redesigns!!!! :D thought process + extra design deets under the cut! (waning: its very long LOL)

cold caller: loosely based off of their tto trading card! rotary phone because uhhh. duh they call people, big pointy nose resembles icicle, elongated eyes / eye scopes? idk lol resemble allan. the shape of the receiver is supposed to resemble earmuffs almost? + little teefies

telemarketer: this is probably the most. vague design LOL but they're an auto-dialing machine! specifically based off of the one from the simpsons coz it.. felt fitting idk. i definitely took some liberties but they have a speaker mouth, an indicator bulb for a nose, and the cassette portion is their eye ^_^

name dropper: this was one of the harder names to translate into a design since it doesnt have any ties to any physical items / ideas? so i ended up just building upon their base design. the glasses and bun give them an uptight secretary vibe + gave them more droopy features such as a longer nose and hoop earrings to replace the old ones

glad hander: not much to say about this one. HAND!!!!! my original redesign for this had their eyes on their palm while the fingers sat on top but. idk. it felt more fitting for their hand to be in a fist while the eyes were on the fingers. it makes their middle finger look like a nose

mover & shaker: shaker -> salt & pepper shakers. ez pz. the lids look like little hats too

two face: this was a little tricky coz i like the double face look they originally had. but double talker already has that model and i think it fits them much more than it does two face. i cycled through a few different ideas but eventually ended up with this, inspired by the mayor from the nightmare before christmas & the way his head operates :P

mingler: nothing changed. literally perfect. mingler is peak cog design. just tweaked their colors and gave them a stronger head + hair shape that stands out against the others

mr. hollywood: same with name dropper & mingler, they have a vague name thats hard to interpret BUT the og design was already so good there wasn't much to change Anyways. i was subconsciously inspired by Something while designing them but i dont know what, i guess 50s celebrities? also inspired by ernesto de la cruz from coco!

as a general rule of thumb: i stuck to the same color palette for all of these designs (except for the blue in cold caller & two face. obviously) in order to communicate the fact that they're from the same department. for the more human cogs i tried to separate different parts of the head using color & lines (forehead, cheekbones, chin, nose, etc) in order to give them a subtle robotic look but you can't really see it lol... i tried to keep their GENERAL head shapes but some of them wandered a little far

+ i actually made palettes for all of the cog departments to work on if i ever want to make more redesigns! i'll stick them here since they're on topic

Dear Vector Prime, what can you tell us about this bizarre-looking pair of bots who were seen boarding the starship Exodus? They seem to stand out compared to the rest of the masses, what with the one's pointed hair-like protrusions, qnd the other's flat-topped dome.

Dear Boarding Buddy,

The larger of the two robots pictured was Crashcore. A medic by trade, Crashcore was a specialist on treating heavyweight-class robots. He was well known for his smooth handiwork when removing thick armour plating to access and repair internal damage. However, Crashcore’s skills did not extend to self-care, and he struggled with auto-altphobia: he was deathly afraid of his Chelonoid alt-mode.

The smaller of the two, Coda, was an organic enthusiast. Adopting his trademark helmet in emulation of a popular hairstyle among part of Cybertron’s alien population, he was well known as something of a data maniac, regularly spending time in various communities to gather more and more information on their society.

These two refugees did not find much reason to converse, and went their separate ways soon after.

It’s time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. You know, this is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here…. Now you should see an auto plant, it's highly automated but the people, the 4–5,000 people who work there, they are trained to take care of those robotic arms.

One in three Europeans say they might leave their jobs if American workplace culture continues to infect their places of employment. A survey of 1,000 employees in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom, written up in a trade journal called Human Resources Director, found that 86 percent of survey participants said U.S. corporate culture is influencing their own companies, and not for the better. 

Almost half (48 percent) say they would consider quitting if their “work-life balance” is hurt by policies originating in this country. Eight in 10, per Human Resources Director, “are worried that high-profile leaders under the Trump administration, such as Elon Musk, will have a negative influence on workplace culture in their country.” 

People on the other side of the Atlantic are especially worried about whether they will lose their “right to disconnect.” I had to google “right to disconnect” to find out what it means. It means they don’t have to be checking their emails constantly, like late at night and on weekends. I learned that, working on this article at 11 p.m. on Sunday. 

[a-sad-mage]

I just had this thought: since Lia (my OC) is 14 years old, I can see her being shocked at the fact that down here in Slugterra, the school education system is so different from what she's used to in the surface world. And she gets a little jealous of that. Eli agrees with her on that. I can also see everyone, including the HC gang, asking what the education system is like in the surface world. And for Lia and Eli, telling them what they know off the top of their head. How would everyone, including the HC gang, react to this?

I think the Gang is a little confused lmao

Like after a certain age, Schooling is like more or less optional depending on what trade you go into in the Cavern's, and even then you can change focus or learn different things at anytime.

The biggest example of this probably being Blakk himself, starting out as a hard labor worker, then Gang leader eventually becoming a successful business man/scientists.

so finding out a most people on the surface spend a good 15-20 years, or longer(or shorter because reasons), in school, and they basically have to make a decision on what they want to more or less do forever, with minimal changes. is like, a mind fuck.

In Slugterra your more or less free to be whatever you want, so long as you got the skills to back it up. And even then, you can do multiple things at once, you aren't limited in what you can do.

And this isn't covering the education system as a whole, having to go into dept to get higher education or the tests, and other things you gotta put up with to get a fancy peace of paper that say's you can do a thing.

And I say that as a college graduate!

I DID MY TIME!

but yes, the Gang, + the hc Gang are mind boggled as to the Surface's education system. For a 'mythical world' it's way or teaching its next generation is weird compared to the Caverns.

Trixie is intrigued by the there are apparently schools that specialize in the creative arts, but to know that they are so expensive... Same with Kord, Gent, Stocker and Vance about mechanic stuff, though the idea of tech/robotics and auto-shop in High School in an intriguing.

Pronto probably demands to know more about Shakespeare, to bad Lia and Eli got limited knowledge-

Dana, Mario and Junjie think University/College is a scam once Eli explains it. after all experience is the best teacher, with a little guidance.

i have very low social ability rn (autism) but i need to talk about how autism shows in my muses because all of my muses are autistic by default as i have no idea how to write a character as non-autistic

hinagiku before becoming the catgirl maid she is was very much constantly masking because of the environment she was in. nowadays she does a lot of wide hand gestures and movements— very loud in terms of how she moves (not literally moving loudly as she IS a ninja but you know) and very energetic. does a lot of repetitive motions and her "nya" was part of the trade but turned into an actual stim because its fun to say and talk like that. her current era is very much "im silly moding!!!!"

ichinose has a hard time reading rooms and understanding jokes / teasing which drove wedges between him and his coworkers back at his old company. he doesnt really noticeably stim (maybe lip biting or finger tapping; sometimes going rigid) but he does get overstimulated very easily by sights, smells, and sounds. tastes are a safe haven sense. becoming a robot is great because then he can just have auto settings where if things get too much he can change the volume or shut off his sense of smell. or even dull his vision lmfao

kazuki masks pretty much 24/7 but when he relaxes, his face is a lot more rigid and seems stoic but really hes content. hes got a bit of a resting bitch face situation. he has a bit of echolalia and this especially shows when hes hanging out with cats because when they meow, he ALWAYS meows back unless someone else is around

magata (end statement) (if you know you know) (but also i need to post a real deep dive on her issues because shes so fucking funny to me.)

kuronaka is just autism look at this dude. if youve played the game i dont think i need to explain this one. no masking this guy is just like that. he tried to mask once and got shy. he looks like he could fuck up a nice burger. autism be damned my boy can work a grill

A surge of stranded electric vehicles, predominantly Tesla cars, has overtaken the Oak Brook Supercharger station in Chicago, as a severe cold snap renders many EVs powerless and immobile.

Fox 32 reports that the recent wave of freezing temperatures in Chicago has taken a significant toll on EVs, causing an unusual scene at the Oak Brook Tesla Supercharging station. This station, along with many others around the Chicago area, has been crowded with dead Teslas, as owners face difficulties in charging their vehicles​​.

Tesla owner Tyler Beard experienced firsthand the challenges posed by the cold weather. Having tried to recharge his Tesla since Sunday afternoon, he was met with frustration, stating, “Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent.” His charging dificulties stem from the impact subzero temperatures have on EV batteries, a problem Breitbart News has covered extensively in the past. From angry Tesla owners sharing videos of their cars failing to start to owners having to charge their vehicles six times in one day due to massively reduced battery performance, Tesla cars simply can’t handle the winter in a major portion of North America.

Beard’s experience was not unique, as many others at the Oak Brook station faced similar issues, leading to long lines and abandoned cars​​. The situation was summarized by another Tesla owner, Chalis Mizelle, who abandoned her car and had to seek alternative transportation: “This is crazy. It’s a disaster. Seriously.”

Another man described the situation, stating: “We got a bunch of dead robots out here.” The impact of the cold weather was more than an inconvenience for some. Kevin Sumrak, landing at O’Hare to find his Tesla unresponsive, had to resort to hiring a flatbed tow truck in search of a working charging station.

While Tesla did not respond to inquiries from FOX 32, a local car expert, Mark Bilek of the Chicago Auto Trade Association, commented: “Like any new technology, there’s a learning curve for people. It’s not plug and go. You have to precondition the battery, meaning that you have to get the battery up to the optimal temperature to accept a fast charge.”

Like you, I'm in my mid 40s and graduated in the 90s. My youngest sister is 10 years my junior. Both of us knew the deal with student loans. In my case, they weren't needed, but every student in my class, was forced to have a meeting in our junior or early senior year(I can't remember), and all sorts of paying for your education was discussed. Loans, grants, scholarships, etc and their drawbacks. My sister who went to the same school, she was forced into the same meetings as I was. She did a combination of scholarship and loans in the same local university as I went to, as our parents had split and father retired because of the divorce. She knew fully about what she had to pay back and had to think about it. Because of that she became an accountant instead of a pastry chef as she wanted to. If your school isn't going over terms and conditions of loans, why the hell aren't people going over things with their parents about this? There's no excuse as to not knowing what you had to repay and how you would earn the money to do it

Some parents don't know, especially in the mid 90's they're going to be a lot of the ones that finished college before the department of education was born and the federal student loan programs opened the door to schools jacking up rates and offering worthless degrees so they could get more students in the door that would be paying those jacked up rates.

We in the mid 80's to mid 90's range (aka Gen-X) got screwed a bit but not so bad as kids are now, the whole 'going to college is how you get a good job and a good life' thing was still pretty true, but the white collar market is flooded now and decades of disdain thrown on blue collar jobs has not only increased wages for them it's made the people doing them really old since there's not enough replacements.

Good old days of getting your GED and getting a "union" job in a factory moving boxes from one wall to the next, or bolting parts together at the local auto assembly plant went bye bye, robots killed that off.

I have my own theories about possible reasons why wage stagnation has gotten ass bad as it has, probably get me chased out of town with torches and pitchforks if I stated them terribly publicly @thepromiscuousfinger knows what it is, it's one when you think about it for a bit it might start to make sense in a weirdly obvious way.

still centers on greed, but the methodology is different

Tangent over

Ya they really had the whole school assembly thing and we had a few people who's job it was to help us navigate the world of scholarships, grants and loans.

Not sure if they do that anymore, money for that might be getting funneled in places where it's not going to do any good like DEI training for staff.

There's a few different paradox's when it comes to claims of that all being predatory and different issues dealing with how they're handed out, but in the end you signed the papers so you probably should have read them better than you did.

Also SLF does exist, brother's gonna have 1/4 million less debt in a few more years from getting his law degree, bonus of going into civil service.

Paycheque may be bigger in the private sector, but you still have that bill hanging over your head.

Really need more people to go into the trades too, 2 year program, short apprenticeship, and if you're in the right place 75 grand a year as a welder or electrician or plumber or some other job that people don't believe you have when you pull up in your fancy sports car.

What Is Custom AI Agent Development and Why It Matters

The term "custom" refers to the process of creating AI Agent Development refers to the process of creating, developing, building and creating intelligent virtual agents, which are specifically designed for specific business needs, workflows, user interactions. They can be used to perform various tasks, including automating customer support, handling internal operations, offering real-time advice, or helping in support and sales functions. In contrast to generic AI tools they are specifically trained to work with specific domain data that can understand the context of your business and seamlessly integrate with your existing systems, such as ERPs, CRMs and chat platforms, and mobile applications. They could be conversational (chatbots/voice bots) and task-driven, or even decision-making machines powered by the latest AI models like neural speech processing (NLP) as well as machine-learning (ML).

Understanding AI Agents: The Basics

What Are AI Agents?

AI agents are intelligent software programs that are designed to detect their surroundings as well as process information and then take action to meet specific objectives. They are autonomous, constantly learning and adjusting through interactions. Contrary to traditional software which follows strict guidelines, AI agents make context-aware decisions by using techniques like machine learning and neural process of language (NLP) and deep learning. AI agents are able to communicate with other systems or users and solve issues by automating tasks, and emulate human thinking. From virtual assistants for websites to advanced bots for corporate processes, AI robots help businesses increase efficiency, responsiveness and improve customer satisfaction.

Types of AI Agents (Reactive, Conversational, Autonomous)

Reactive Agents

These are rules-based systems that react to inputs with no memory or learning. For instance, a simple chatbot that provides fixed answers based upon keyword triggers.

Conversational Agents

Advanced, these agents make use of NLP or ML technology to comprehend user intentions and provide the context of multi-turn conversations. Examples include AI-powered support for customers bots virtual sales assistants as well as smart-voice interfaces, such as Alexa.

Autonomous Agents

They work independently and are often operating within dynamic settings. They make choices and learn from their experiences and improve their performance over time. This is the case for AI agents in robotics, auto-driving automobiles, self-driving cars and automated trading systems.

Each type is tailored to meet specific requirements for business and is customizable to achieve greater impact. Custom AI Agent Development.

This may be the shortest-lasting revolution in history. Just one week after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed so-called reciprocal tariffs on the world as part of a plan to replace a global trading system based on most-favored-nation status and national treatment with individually negotiated bilateral arrangements, he has effectively called off the experiment. Yes, there are still 10 percent tariffs imposed on most everyone, along with higher tariffs on autos, steel, and aluminum, but these are likely ceilings, and the only direction for these barriers to move is down.

The one exception, of course, is China, which—we must now always emphasize, as of this writing—faces U.S. tariffs of roughly 150 percent, if one includes the standard tariffs on trading partners, the penal tariffs imposed during Trump’s first term and left in place by President Joe Biden, the 20 percent on fentanyl-related goods, and the duties announced on April 9.

Trump’s fans say this is a well-concealed plan to focus on Beijing; others may see the shift as a face-saving way to reframe a retreat after markets crashed and businesses went into shock. Either way, it seems hard for China to escape unscathed, unless Trump makes another sudden U-turn very soon. The United States still can impose a lot more pain, albeit at significant cost to itself, including financial sanctions and banning exchange students or travel altogether, and can offer benefits to other trading partners that join the campaign to isolate China. A China cut off from the global economy and society would face enormous economic, political, and geostrategic troubles.

Despite this danger, my sense is that the Chinese government believes it has no choice but to stand its ground and that its leaders will not submit to negotiations in which they are the only ones expected to make concessions. Moreover, my recent travels to China and elsewhere reveal a broader, modestly more positive reappraisal by Chinese and international audiences about the resilience and strengths of the Chinese system.

During trips to China from late 2022 to late 2024, I found a country struggling along almost every continuum. The last few months of the COVID-19 pandemic were scarring, as residents of many cities faced suffocating lockdowns, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people were severely sickened or perished. The economic rebound that was supposed to occur following the end of the government’s zero-COVID policies rapidly evaporated. In an effort to jump-start growth, mountains of capital were poured into new manufacturing facilities for electric vehicles, batteries, medical equipment, robotics, and other sectors; however, domestic consumption did not grow to meet it, leaving a huge gap between supply and demand and severe deflation at the factory gate.

Pandemic insecurity, the collapse of the housing market, and a weak social safety net led households to expand their precautionary savings and for young couples to forgo having children, worsening the demographic problem. The broader political tightening and emphasis on state security also took its toll on public sentiment. Indicators for consumer confidence dropped like a rock in early 2022 and have barely moved since.

As a result, many conversations among Chinese themselves during this period centered on why the Chinese leadership seemed unwilling to admit the extent of the problem and take the steps needed to boost growth. Hypotheses included a lack of accurate information about the country’s travails making it to the top, a weak team without a smart governing plan, the prioritization of security over economics, or a leadership fervently committed to focusing on advanced technology (what propagandists call the “new productive forces”) as the country’s most important growth driver.

These domestic anxieties were mirrored outside China. At a conference for thousands of institutional investors held by J.P. Morgan in early 2023 in Miami, the central debate was, “Is China investible?” There was no consensus, as some argued that the end of zero-COVID meant new opportunities, while others stressed the supply chain vulnerabilities and the crackdown on the private sector as reasons to hold back.

A year later at the same conference, there was a consensus answer: “No.” International investors offered a litany of worries about China’s short-term environment and long-term trajectory. Many said they had sold down their positions and reallocated their funds elsewhere, particularly to the United States.

Fast-forward to 2025, and the mood within China—and from many external observers—has perceptibly brightened. A part of the explanation lies with recent domestic developments. The first was the leadership’s admission last September of the country’s severe economic challenges and the subsequent announcement of a major stimulus plan, whose details were revealed this March. The second was the unveiling of DeepSeek’s pathbreaking large language model, which suggested that Chinese innovators were able to find workarounds to U.S.-led technology restrictions.

In discussions with business executives in China in March 2025, interlocutors suggested that the worst of the economic downturn was over and that they could see initial shoots of renewed growth. An auto executive said demand for their EV models was growing far faster than anticipated and that they would move up plans to open manufacturing facilities abroad.

An executive from a semiconductor firm sanctioned by the United States said they had improved their production efficiency and quality in the absence of service support from Western equipment suppliers. None said it was time to breathe a sigh of relief, highlighting the difference between announcing policies and having them generate results. One emphasized the continuing higher interest rate that private firms must pay for credit compared with state-owned enterprises.  Nevertheless, the dark clouds of previous years had receded.

The same shift was visible among the international business community. In the early 2025 version of the J.P. Morgan conference in Miami (and in similar conferences elsewhere), investors no longer complained about the Chinese leadership’s perceived missteps; instead, they repeatedly asked two questions: “How big will the stimulus be?” and “When will the stimulus translate into faster growth?”

At the China Development Forum, the conference held every March in Beijing that brings together leading Western multinationals and Chinese leaders, business executive after business executive highlighted their plans for new investments in China.

Although changes in Chinese policies and some technology breakthroughs explain some of the mood swing, the most important source of restored confidence lies 12 time zones away in Washington. Whether in Beijing, Shanghai, New York, Miami, or elsewhere, in meeting after meeting in the first quarter of 2025, the No. 1 topic was Trump. Almost every one of the conversations revolved around befuddlement at one or more of his policies.

Most alarmingly, although the context is so immensely different, many people, without prompting, compared today’s United States with China during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, a period of unprecedented turmoil and suffering across the entire country. To be sure, the Cultural Revolution is the Chinese go-to for political analogies in bad times, in the same way that Nazi Germany is for some in the West. Yet the U.S. government’s actions have genuinely shocked Chinese observers, some of whom have worked or studied in the United States.

Many with whom I spoke in China said they understood the need to cut government waste and reduce corruption—prominent problems in their own country. But time and again, observers were puzzled why Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency was leading the charge to haphazardly dismantle agency after agency and fire tens of thousands of civil servants. In a meeting to discuss possible U.S.-China cooperation on science and technology, a Chinese policy expert—after hearing a list of cuts to U.S. government agencies and universities for work on basic science research, climate, medicine, space, and other spheres—asked in amazement, “Does the U.S. government even believe in science anymore?”

On numerous occasions, people expressed shock at the attacks on the media, lawyers, and the courts. One interlocutor said he and his friends were among the most pro-American in China and were proud to have studied there and worked for U.S. companies. But the country they knew seemed to be changing before their eyes, and they could no longer consider sending their children to live or study there.

Just as prevalent as the perplexity about U.S. domestic actions was puzzlement about the fundamental changes in U.S. trade and foreign policies. In discussions held less than two weeks before Trump’s self-declared “Liberation Day” but after the fentanyl-related tariffs were imposed, Chinese could not wrap their heads around why the United States would want to dismantle the multilateral trading system that had created so much prosperity in the United States and around the world. The notion that Washington could use tariffs to engineer a radical revival in manufacturing production and employment was seen as an outright fantasy. And some wondered why Washington would abandon its allies in favor of Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

The significance of these comments has little to do with whether they are correct; instead, widespread perceptions of what is viewed as governmental ineptitude and societal fragmentation in the United States have become an imperceptible mirror in which Chinese look to reevaluate their own country’s present and future.

In reality, many of China’s leaders are highly ideological; corruption is widespread; political purges still occur; information is controlled; scientists (both physical and social scientists) face substantial barriers to intellectual freedom; unfair regulatory restrictions on markets abound; and industrial policy puts foreign business at a distinct disadvantage—all of which threatens China’s development prospects and relations with others. But when refracted through the lens of the United States in 2025, China’s system is viewed differently.

For pro-regime nationalists, Trump is a gift. His illiberal turn means the United States has abandoned its ideological challenge to the Chinese political system. Moreover, his weakening of U.S. governing institutions, economy, and alliance relationships translate into “making China great again.” And his attack on the multilateral trading system makes it far easier for China to be seen as its responsible steward over the United States.

For many apolitical Chinese, they are not enthusiastic about today’s China and many specific policies, but by comparison, China feels relatively stable and predictable, leaving them minimally satisfied to live in their system and a world that supports it.

For liberal Chinese who have long admired the United States, the Trumpian turn in Washington prompts a deep sadness. For them, the United States had been, as they said, a “light on a hill” and a “beacon.” In 2008, with the global financial crisis, the United States undermined confidence in China in free markets. In 2025, with its political infighting, the United States is discrediting its political system. The consequence of such melancholy is resignation. To this group of Chinese, Liberation Day must feel like just the opposite.

In the coming weeks and months, the contest between Beijing and Washington will continue to evolve in unpredictable ways, even if Trump backs off his full-scale declaration of trade war. Both have economic strengths and weaknesses, and each could aim for the other’s weakest points. They will maneuver to outflank and isolate the other by wooing countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. Plenty of drama has yet to unfold.

Yet my conversations in China and elsewhere suggest two ironic certainties. First, given the renewed resolve in Beijing, there is almost no chance the Trump administration will be able to wrangle any more concessions from China in the coming months that it could not have obtained on Jan. 20. The escalation, brinksmanship, and volatility will likely be a monumental waste of time.

And second, regardless of who is more effective at weakening the other’s economy or outfoxes the other at the negotiating table, the real contest for systemic competition, at least for now, is over. Whether in celebration or mourning, to most Chinese, Trump’s red tie is a white flag.
