It’s like listening descriptions of ancient battles. Conceptually I know what’s happening , but I don’t know any of the names, formations, armpit weapons or context so it’s so foreign to me that it’s hard to visualize. One of my favorite books. And my broker was talking to me about similar weird shit happening on the minute charts in the grains. It’s no big thing for me but it’s hard for him to work in when it’s possible to get filled on these fishing exercises. |

Though I’ll give you an example of something that’s common to every futures market that can be thought of as a bit sketchy. If something is trading at 50.12/50.15 and there’s an average 10 on the bid and 10 on the offer and you have 100 to sell and offer them at 50.14, almost guaranteed the second you input your offer you’ll see a 50.13 offer show up right in front of you. If you cancel your order, that offer disappears. Put it back in and it populates again. And over and over again. This is just the nature of ‘algos’ and how they operate in markets. It touches me as an institutional investor just as it would touch any retail investor. And I focus primarily on interest rates so there was a fair bit in the book that was new to me as well. But the arms race for faster technology is something I’m well aware of and it’s absolutely fascinating. |

Glad you guys can step back from the brink a bit. (And, yes, I mean that sincerely.)

Great day, but apes have to be prepared for another price drop. Just like the price manipulation that tanks the stock, the shitbags manipulate it going up as well hoping people will be relieved to finally see another good day and sell. Don't fall for it, just hold until its a price you feel is good enough for you to sell. I'm not selling for anything less than $100/share, and even then I'll probably only let half of them go.

I bought all my shares March 23rd, 2020, and flipped them last week for a 300% profit. I'll wait for the next big big dip in the market, but I'm definitely not into day trading.

Been holding a heavy bag on VYGVF but it's having a good day. Seems to be tied to Bitcoin which is stupid. It's the most profitable company in the OTC market.
