Car gearbox issues following work
Had some work done to my gearbox on car with 2 sensors fitted as aftermarket product and software as original no longer avaialble. Car was OK for a few months. Then started jerking a few week ago 3 times. Took it to my local different garage as where I had work carried out is 70 miles away with company called AP. When at garage the gearbox stopped working. He pushed garage onto ramp and oil was coming out of it. It ended up being the gearbox oil where it was taken apart from initial garage AP. All oil had drained and this resulted in the sensors of gearbox being "locked" He showed me oil leak and initial work not carried out to a good standard as the pipe was leaking and seal damaged where initial garage AP carried out the works. He said will get a new pipe and calibrate the gearbox software as well as latest software updates Saturday 13th. On Monday 15th pipe replaced but software could not be updated a she said 3rd part part and only initial garage where part replaced could fix it. Cost me additional £600. So car was taken away by intial garage[AP] and on Friday 19th I phoned for an update and they said sensors working OK but car will not drive and that where I took the car to get the pipe fixed had "corrupted" the software. Told him no way possible as the software they are using had been used many times before on other cars, constantly updated, not 3rd party software, garage paid over £20k a year for licence from the main dealers as all linked to its mainframe HQ PORSCHE computer. He said a technician wil ring me. The car was pushed onto ramp as no gears were working and this was even before the software was plugged into the car. So what AP garage said was a total lie and placing the onus on my local garage. I phoned my local garage and told him everything and he was not happy. He said car should have left AP garage with calibration and software update and they did not seal the pipe properly hence the leak and software locking and car not going into gear so no gears and evident by car being pushed onto ramp He said ask AP to give his technician [Mark] a ring on Monday. I initially paid over £6k to get 2 sensors fitted to the car in October and it drove ok until a few week a go and even drove better after the work but there was an oil leak and I thought it was just from the engine as was evident before but was from the gearbox. Need this to go to legal if they refuse to claim liability.
19 days ago6 proposalsRemoteLooking For A Forex Trader To Pass A Prop Challenge $15K
I'm looking for someone to complete a forex trading challenge following a set of rules and targets, without failure, with a funded account provided by a prop firm. Challenge details: Level 1: Starting Balance: $15,000 Target Balance: 10% ($16,500) - You need to get your balance to this figure so you need to make $1500. Daily drawdown: 4% ($14,400) - Your balance cannot close to or below this figure in a single day. You cannot lose $600 from your initial balance in a single day. Max drawdown: 6% ($14,100) - Your balance cannot close to this figure at any time. You cannot lose $900 from your initial balance in a single day. Max lot size: 1.5 across all trades - Your total trades should not exceed 1.5 lot size across all trades - Not individual trades. It's not 1.5 lots per trade, its 1.5 across all trades. Single-day profit cannot exceed 40% of the profit target - That means in a single day, the max profit you can make is $600. I will strongly advise that you stay at least $100 below the max figure just to be on the safe side so you don't break any rules. The stop loss should be set within 30 Minutes after opening the position. In case you are a Scalper and open and close trades within a period of fewer than 30 minutes, you don’t need to set a stop loss. NOTE: If you fail to complete the challenge by breaking the rules, the account will be closed and the challenge will be over therefore I need someone who has done this before with a good win rate and can do without failure. Here's how it works: You will need to do the challenge on the Ctrader platform and you will need to give me your Ctrader ID so I can share the trading account with you for you to do the challenge. You will start with $15,000 and your goal is to get the 10% target balance. Once you have reached the 10% target balance, you must stop trading immediately and inform me that you have reached the target. You will provide me with a screenshot as proof if necessary. Other Information: Lot sizes - This is where traders tend to mess things up and break rules so I want to emphasis on this point because if you break any of the rules, then the trading account will become deactivated and therefore I will not receive profit share. I will now give you some more explanation on lot sizes, so you are clear on this: The maximum lot size is set at 0.2 Lot for every 2,000 USD in your account balance. This measurement is based on the total account balance, not per individual trade. Example: Your balance is $15,000. To work out the lot size, calculate like this: 15,000 / 2,000 * 0.2 = 1.5. This means 1.5 is your max lot size across all trades. Lot size changes as your balance increases and decreases - Example: Your balance was $20,000 and now its $18,000. To work out what your max lot size is for the balance of $18,000, do this calculation: 18,000 / 2,000 * 0.2 = 1.8. This is your max lot size across all trades at a balance of $18,000. Another example: Your balance was $20,000 and now its $22,000. To work out what your max lot size is for the balance of $22,000, do this calculation: 22,000 / 2,000 * 0.2 = 2.2. This is your max lot size across all trades at a balance of $22,000. The basic point is to make sure to check your max lot size occasionally to ensure you don't go over it otherwise the account will be closed, and I will lose the account which will cost me money. You must be vigilant not to exceed the maximum allowed lot size. The lot size should be recalibrated whenever the balance dips below the initial balance. The number of open positions you can have is not restricted. However, if you’re considering placing pending orders while having open positions, ensure that the total of all open positions plus potential pending orders does not exceed the maximum position size. Tick speculation/trading, martingale trading, hedging, high-frequency trading bots, third-party bots, Martingale, are prohibited strategies that cannot be employed in all trading accounts. The use of these strategies will result in the cancellation of the account - These are not my rules – These are the rules of the prop firm. This may seem slightly overwhelming, but I will be reachable throughout this project in case you have any questions about any rules or you’re not sure so you’re not on your own. Once you have reviewed the project details carefully and submit your proposal, I will ask you a series of question to vet you out and if everything is good, then we can get started.

Marketing/Outreach assistance needed for research project
I have a small, unusual research project I'm working on that requires borrowing Amazon Prime gaming benefits. My project requires borrowing these benefits for a 12 month window (although the scope of this work contract is 2-3 months.) Most people who have Amazon Prime subscriptions for shopping / video don't use the gaming parts of their subscription. I've developed a safe, effective system for borrowing these benefits that does not put either the people loaning the benefits or the people collecting them at risk in any way. No personal account info is collected or asked for at any point, the process is entirely anonymized, and does not violate any Terms of Use clauses. I need people who can go around and use my method to borrow these prime benefits from people who aren't using them and willing to share. The contract is restricted to the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, or Australia Amazon Prime subscriptions. Total estimated work hours on your part is likely anywhere from 2-4 hours. I have a working process/pay schedule for how to do this from a previous iteration of this project, but I am also open to discussion on alternative methods of advertising/outreach to achieve the same outcome with similar cost structures. The rates I am using are $110 for a total of 5 borrowed gaming benefits, but negotiation is available for more or less benefits. —----> Specifics of Contract: The research project I'm running requires the monthly gaming benefits that are included with Amazon Prime subscriptions, specifically, the monthly twitch subscription. That monthly twitch subscription has a real world cash value of approximately $2-2.50 per month. People who use Amazon Prime for shopping but don't have any interest in video games let their benefit go to waste each month. The project is to see if it is viable to borrow these benefits from a statistically significant number of people (target number of 100 users) and see how long people continue their prime subscriptions over the course of 1 year. The job is essentially to go around and see if people wouldn’t mind letting you borrow the gaming benefits that they are not using, then linking the unused Amazon Prime benefits to blank twitch accounts (1 amazon prime benefit linked to 1 blank twitch account.) I need you to collect and link 5 accounts, for a project-complete total of $110 ( at a rate of $20 per account + $10 overhead stipend), although the total number of accounts is negotiable and scalable up or down. The process of borrowing the benefits is safe and easy to do. I have a collection of blank twitch accounts which are each ready to receive a single Amazon Prime gaming benefit link. Allocating gaming benefits is a one-way link; the twitch account has NO ACCESS to the parent Amazon account. We also do not ask for any of the Amazon Account information at any time. When you find people who are 1) paying for Amazon Prime, 2) aren't using their free monthly twitch subscription, and 3) are willing to share, you can allocate their benefits to one of the blank twitch accounts. The process takes about 2-3 minutes. Once you’ve collected the agreed upon amount, I will confirm each account is live and able to collect the monthly twitch benefits, then we will wait an additional 2 month to ensure the borrowed benefit accounts remain active before paying out the contract. This is to ensure the borrowed benefits are in fact from paid Amazon Prime subscriptions from the correct countries. After the 2nd phase is complete, you agree to leave the accounts linked for at least another 10 months regardless of whether the Amazon Prime accounts remain active. NOTES: - I have verified that this is not against the Terms of Use for Amazon Prime or Twitch. The process of benefit allocation is also completely safe for all parties involved. -The prime subscriptions must be from the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, or Australia. This will be confirmed during the 1 month waiting period. If any accounts are found to be from other unacceptable countries, they will need to be replaced, or the contract payment schedule restructured proportionally to the reduced value of the accounts. The expected value of the monthly benefits per account should be no less than $2.15 per month per account (all of the above countries meet this criteria.) -If accounts are found to be trial accounts, they will need to be replaced, payment refunded, or the payment schedule will have to be scaled down proportionally.
