"Our careers as traders really are like stock charts"
hah very true. when you doing well and trust your instincts gains keep stacking = uptrend. Catch a bad break or two, get emotional start a little downtrend lol funny sometimes keep making $ then get caught in disaster. Next time up at the same P&L level I always struggle. Its like a double top that won't break. Give some back again, then when finally through that P&L level its clear skies ahead, monster day after monster day lol
there was a time I'd burn through 20-30-40-50+ trades a day for weeks at a time on it, as long as volatility was there. lot of scalps for quick gains followed by @))*%*!!! after taking 200 and leaving 2k on table in couple min lol
ditto
keeping an eye on HIMX upside down bounce. double top today and down on high volume after down grade. There is a trend line 10.3sh, if it losses 10.2 tomorrow would think bigger wash under 10. Perhaps lower 9s, maybe even 8s later this week. Won't touch unless losses trend line.
PRKR man it got me on that drop eod big ouchie, kept a few overnight but sold those way early evenish. then ran me over short next am from 6.2 area. so dirty, pull the rug like that then rip it $2 higher first hour next am.
lot of shorts there before good news, trapped bunch more thursday. Thats why it squeezed the way it did Friday am but I'd think its done now. No more borrows is first cue. Blowout volume friday too. lower highs and declining volume. I'd think any bigger pop in am is a short with stop just above todays high.
hah you are opposite of me. non shortable stocks I refuse to long unless monster wash. for example VISN had shorts whole way up until the day it hit 18. After they forced covered all shorts let it drop to 9. PRKR short all you want all last week, this am wanted to short gap up but no borrows so would not long all day. 7s to 6.1s drop. Bounced nice from lows but no thanks... This happens over and over. A good indicator for long = all the sudden short shares available on a hard to short stock. 90%+ chance it bounces huge that day lol
AHs is kind of like a casino. not much makes sense and with lower volume price gets manipulated way easier. at least for me usually its better to stay away. Do like to watch the price action though so get a better idea what to expect in the am.
BTW pissed at RSOL, was begging for short shares 4.5s but no go
nice job! wasn't even going to trade AHs so this 250 is a gift, especially with a new tiny account. just one of those DOH moments where every trade after my covers or sells literally 1/2 sec later its printing .20-.30 better price.
yeah you should! party probably over now though. played real small and minimized but maybe got 250 out of it. could have easily had 4-5x that.
dang some nutty moves. 9.9s to 10.9s down to 10.2s back to 10.9s back to 10.2s back to 10.8
lol fair enough
that was heck of a dang bounce. from under 10 to near 11. never played doh! took small short higher 10.7s avg but covered way early 10.55sh. blah...
dang... DANG getting beat up
when you need $65 move to be in the money and still $6 premium away not much of a deal. as crazy as this spike is doubt any farther otm call players make anything.
thats absurd but guess sort of makes sense. there traders that had 120 calls for .1s some quarters back and it went to $55
not sure about Romanian beers. I'd think lagers mostly?
All this talk making me miss my old bar in Chicago. Was friends with bartenders and would stay for tastings after they'd close. Think 60+ beers on tap, usually good 20 Belgians and lot of micro brews. Also hundreds upon hundreds of bottled variety but I'd stick to the tap. Funny thing all the good tap beers were $4-5 and they'd charge $6 for cheap piss like budweiser and mgd. Bad beer tax lol
lighter ones in 5-6% range not so much. 8%+ are the dangerous ones, sneak up quick!
Any beer is better on tap. Delirium in bottle can be a little overwhelming but very drinkable if you let it breathe in a glass a bit. One of the bigger bottles will definitely get you a nice buzz, drink 3 and you'll be seeing pink elephants :P
Belgium is the capital of good beers... Delirium Tremens, Kwak, Saison Dupont, De Konick, Orval, Chimay and the list goes on. Many of them are strong too, 8-10%, some even higher. Lindemans raspberry Lambic a girly, sweet beer but smell and taste is absolutely amazing. Think its brewed by monks and they open ferment it with yeast thats found in air only in small area near Brussels.
nice one. let me know about the next 5 bagger+, my mini starter suretrader account could use it.
don't think he was much of a trader before the jackpot score and in a way was smart to diversify his $ but likely lost most of it anyway.

made more monny off cncn, gliff and i bought some investment property waiting 2 get in the action again soon though
yep thats the one, still got MAMG showing in old account too. There was a guy that made over a mil on it. Wish I didn't have much $ back then, would have sold everything and declared bk if things went bad. Didn't want to gamble my savings.
its gotten harder with all the new illiquid security regulations, bs robbery fees on some stocks/trades, etc. Most brokers don't even want to do pinks anymore, too much liability.
I got an account with some sizable low floater positions. Can't get anyone to take a transfer of my account going on 2+ years now. One position had gone like 5k to 35k twice already but can only sell 10% of 20 day volume avg. Since its low float when it pops I can only sell like $50-100 worth in day lol Would have helped get me back in the game with a good account after my main broker robbed me but its just a tease. One of my positions could pop like NEST today and could be looking at $5,000,000 account and not be able to sell. Thanks for protecting regulators!
thanks bud. I'll be back up, been doing this long enough. just a question how much will be lost in the process.
no, no bk. just a shady ahole running a prop firm. Got me for good 6 figures... simply won't pay although daily promises $ is on the way going on like a year now. Either stole my money or blew up doing something else, who knows.
Might end up losing my family home over this(600k+ paid into last 13 years), been in foreclosure for some time. Been out of work few months, trying to get back in the game now. Got a very tiny suretrade account going and my cousin promised to float some $ so will see. Dark ages over here...
lol Thats why I love pinks, could never do that with big boards unless got lucky on an option gamble play. For awhile there were free $ pink plays. Some companies would do a big 1 for 1,000 etc split but would not reduce old shareholders below 100 shares. I opened a few extra accounts and would just buy 1 share across dozen accounts lol Most were good $50-200 but there were some monsters too.
Can't recall symbol anymore but there was one monster RS screw up. Where shady co did like 1 for 10M or whatever RS whiping out all old shareholders. Think there was 11 shares left and they were going to do 3,000,000 for 1 forward split. But idiots started selling before FS and ended up short tons of shares when there were only 11 out lol Eventually diluter MM realized they screwed up and started buying back. I bought a ton but sold most for gains into bounce. Think I had like 8k shares left or something, next trading day wake up to 24,000,000,000 shares in my account... Lot of people started buying thinking short squeeze, most couldn't sell but my shares in Ameritrade were free trading. Sold maybe 20k worth but then got spooked by posters saying selling will end up short and forced to cover. Called ameritrade and they told me don't sell, I'll be liable if anything happens. Had $250k in my accounts so didn't want to risk all and end up in BK. Of course stock got halted but it was just such a mess that SEC just let all the trades stand. Coulda pulled a few mil that time and retired....
nice! love when that happens to a beat account. once I had like $15 left in an account, did one of them old RS roundup plays buying 1 share. Got $80 one play, $200 another. Then there that monster one I got 1600. Made it to 10k+ with couple good swing trades and then scalped away to a 25k+ day trading account lol ahh the good old days
I love pinks, know what you getting into. Dilution is easy to spot and so are the pumps and front run stuff. If you know what you doing its safer than big boards, risk way less $ and bigger rewards. Plus there aren't computer algos that try to rape you every trade, much easier to scalp as you can actually buy bid without price dropping further.
thats a lobster dinner day
thats not too shabby. I am generally not that lucky holding stuff so mainly day trade. God forbid power/internet/software goes out, its a guaranteed 5 figure loss lol Maybe not right now as I am strapped and dealing with SEC/FBI trying to force my old broker pay me my $$$. But man in past years internet would go out and I'd have a 20k position and come back an hour later to bk filing or some random 80% drop for no reason. Did have some big scores though, like the all time classic scam CMKX. Had 120M .0001 and think it closed .0002 on friday and did bogus "we found diamonds" news. Opened .001 on monday, that was a good day...
those two would have been sick trades even gambling with peanuts
imagine tossing $500 @ .002 and leaving for lunch. get back to .10 an hour later lol
didn't trade it, saw it way late. after .15 hod was hoping quick wash to .04s for quick bounce play but didn't dip enough. maybe gives a trade monday but only quickie and small. pump with no substance and when momo dies these usually don't have much interest.
u guys see NEST? up 8,400% or whatever for the day. was at 10,000+ at one point. guess ihub pumps still work once in awhile
CHLN halt but don't see anything on it yet. very thin one though so wouldn't expect much
not many report friday ahs though.
dead right now though, no halts or news plays that I see
usually but not always
CCME clone? this will get ugly quick, question is if it has another green day or two.
