Broker calls, SAXO, FLATEX, IB
made several calls today. Glitches, mispricing, not the best price, foul across the boards. Different ECN's out of sync, First call from me with the first print of $ 23,21 on BZX Equities ECN time lag with all those brokers was unacceptable! Like a miracle volume came surging in?
And yes, still here full position. Trading big time also.
Anywhere south of $ 880 would be an insult. Next stop is $ 47,50ish
Agree
I've been buying left and right these past two days. Off course added CVM also at my favorite pricepoint
No, Fluteman.
"neutrality" comes with "opinion"
Nevertheless any judgement correlates with big data.
To make it less abstract; If you fill a jar with peanuts, and let people guess the number of peanuts inside, the rule is that as more people guess, the accuracy increases. (My complaint about empty ECN bidding-letting Books is about that.) There is no discovery without substance. Just take a look at all the indices today. As I said before AAPL is not just in one (1) index. There is plethora of indices carrying AAPL as > 5% weight Most ETF handsomely called passive follow only 5 stocks, and fragments of the rest of the index they are supposed to mimic.
Have fun all, gripzool
Put a standing order on the 250 EMA
And yes some might argue it overshot that line....
Gripzool
@SAB63090 Is that really you speaking now and in your previous posts? Love to say it again, put in that darn order at the 250 EMA if you believe in the science. Emotions do not belong you. Happy to see Droid still around, guess he did not use margin on CVM. Mitcheroo had to bail, because he didn't know what was happening.... Me myself did not had a standing order on the 250 EMA because I was playing around in my Gold stocks, short term thinking kept me out of my long term science..... Definitely some got a margin call and others shitted their pants. Well a least my complaint about the lack of bids in the divers ECN's was to low to provide a healthy discovered stock price, has been addressed. Once again we have to climb the wall of worry, this time there will be more resistance on the way up AND down.
@ Taurius Today adds on close as it seems now, BK and LLY Saw a nice intra day +? 3,8% gain evaporate on NK yesterdays addition, stop loss intact. CVM $ 17.50-ish not to shabby. Tomorrow 18,75-ish with spike to $ 20 does not sound outlandish to me.
@ Tarius729 NK @ $ 6,06 CVM behaving Just fine today, nice break out. If we don't take out $ 16,50 we might get a healthy pull-back or next stop $ 17,50-ish
Any black or white swans welcome
@ Tarius729 Hi, today's watchlist list would have been, BX BMY CLSD NK
There is a simple set of rules and instructions. To avoid thinking. I do not look at the fundamentals or even the names of the companies in these trades. No emotion, no world news, gloom or giddiness. A stock far away from the 250 EMA is more short term then lift off from base (medium or long term)
For me, I do nimble trades,in strong stocks, short term, 2-6 positions, quick to take profits, stop loss on the daily low at purchase, let it run when profitable sell on < 10 MA
Today will probably see my trade account pick up NK and BX on the close. Made a choice not to do CLSD
I don't have any use for RSI, OBV, VWAP, MACD, DPO, SAR, ATR, CCI, EMV, CMF,
Today CVM, spoke a a week or what ago about perfect set up for $ 16.50 mentioned also the 250 EMA on the weekly (even in the weekly its curving upwards) Moved my standing trailing order on the 250 EMA (daily) to my trading account.
There was this kid's talking about continuation of the flag formation and that sort of nonsense, had a good laugh.
Who needs RSI or OBV or divergence. Applying my algo to CVM works. Adding a trading account with CVM for trades. Dividing my money between more broker/banks gives me more protection. But from now on I will be trading CVM also. I own also an alert service for possible trades ranging from 7% to 32% yearly profits, yes it worked for me also in 2008/9.
I'll keep my eye on the 250 EMA, please do keep us informed on your findings. Gripzzz
@Sab
RSI I don't track. Short sale is most just hedging. Imagine people fantasying about "burning shorts" Premiums are very rich, roll over fast enough and you can make a decent living. One day you might be forced to deliver the shares, offset against the shares that you already own, you own an insurance against decline in value with blue sky potential.
(again, I never made a trade other then buying shares trough stockbrokers in CVM)Made a bucket load when just before the merger with Arcelor I was on both sides of the bidding book in Mittal listing Amsterdam. Called a sell in the closing auction in public. Massive win.
@sab63090
Check out the weekly chart with the 250 EMA
Set up is still there. Saw some nice blocking of the 10$ yesterday, waiting, ducks in a row. Bid to thin. 250 EMA ramping up. Some nice price action around the 10 MA. Cheaper % borrow rate. Rinse and repeat. Any comparison with TSLA is false.
Breach the Handle and algo's will follow.
Just a quick glance before going to bed. If the set up stays like this (21:00 GMT +1) then there is tomorrow a spike above $ 16,50
We might as well reflect again on that.
That's why we got that halt. In order to go to trial, disclosures had to be made. I still believe that the arb will get us a undisclosed backwards compensation. The heart off the matter was the failed screening/admission/protocol
@sab,as you mentioned before we were a bit overstressed. This falls still within that boundary. Might see a close tomorrow under the 10 MA and way off from the 250 EMA (wow do you see how fast that 250 EMA is curling up?) that's a "sell on close" NO MATTER WHAT, that's my rule normally. Not in CVM. The means may differ the outcome probably the same desired one. I never sold a share since buying.
You don't have to sell your shares. You just can incrementally raise your stakes with options, trades. Spreads mile wide. ( I do not do CVM options)
Have a standing order at EMA 250 NO SUSHI
Thanks to all the explaining, stat guys!
A couple of days before I mentioned that the Annualized % lending interest dropped. Now (Saxon Bank) it's at single digits. So....
Saw a head line on Apple 10% + order, excited my short immediately, for a decent 30% Wednesday afternoon (ET) I might set it on again.
It is like cheating. We are over-allocated within indexed equities, You don’t realize it. We think we are diversified via ETF's but are actually concentrated to a handful off company's. The Nasdaq 100, and the Growth, Value, Minimum Volatility and Dividend Yield funds and and, and, and, all have APPLE. if you look at the weightings then this is a disaster waiting to happen.
@Remitkram LOL
Okay, what now. + 35% profit from Friday's short.
Nasdaq 100 Binck turboXL short 9794.5119 7,725 € xxxxxx 5,631
€ xxxxxx € 104,70 37,19% 21:29:40
Just back home from the businesses. Look at the charts. It smells like denial, keep the short on. Best guess tomorrow before noon (GMT +1) we will see some more denial and a uptick or two within the downward movement. Idea now is to sell the profit in the gloom and doom off the morning and set up a new short with a higher leverage later when realization sets back in after the upwards ticks. Always a bit tricky to try to day trade when you have several businesses to run. Otherwise jumping leverage with profit is fun. What the heck, I see the QQQ going to 211 minimum.
As for CVM, a bit of capitulation and retreat to the 250 EMA is welcomed with fresh minted Capital. Just saying, why are there no screams of distress, anger, despair on Ihub for CVM
Hi Conix, so we are both "aged'
Went to my bank, to buy shares the first day after the "outbreak" of the first gulf war,. That's when I started. Gazillion other things in between and after, day traded for a living during 10 years. The starting point of that, got me hung up with a position in a company called CVM and left me with an alias from the first former wife.(Katharina). Found out after reading it was Cel-Sci. Never sold a share, felt betrayed, a loser, went to 25-1 and 10-1 split, some of us got more or the same equivalent of the plenty available mix of emotions. Science stood out in most of us still here. Survived 2 wives who died from this shit. My point was the "short" stories, call me naive when I comment on your post " I for myself do not share these fantasies about times like this, with possible short scenarios.
Talking about shorts;
Opened a short position on the Nasdaq 100 Friday (leverage 16x) on a lull in realization in the market, .Just before going out to dinner with my new wife. Considering (right you are Fosco) a certain virus I think some misunderstand it.
"There are times like here when shorts who have a short position at, say, $8.00 and see the stock, run like this (gap opening higher and running)--they "average up" on their short position to take advantage of the higher price--but the short interest can rise even more."
So? We are making up stories now? You are the same as the shorts.
Anyone want to borrow CVM shares, going rate is now 7,79% annualized.
Remember that with every sell order you place in any market you are actualy A Short.
George, the number of shares available for lending could go up because of "the short community"losing interest. But honestly I checked just now backwards until July 2019 and the high in annualized interest is 30,78% with plain availability across those months. This only at SAXO Bank, there are more banks and brokers of course.
Black Rock et al would be acting against their clients and shareholders interest not to lend out CVM shares, so no doubt in my mind the availability for more professional parties would be better then some of us assume / state.
This whole brouhaha about shorts (especially in this phase) is a bit overdone. A hedge is always viable , you just make less money if you have the desired outcome.
Some peeps have been right for 20 years unlike us...
Today, annualized short CVM 19,32 % 60.000+ shares available SAXO Bank
Today, annualized short CVM 19,45 % 60.000+ shares available SAXO Bank
December 17 2019 at a price of $ 7,93 there were plenty shares to short available, just before the close.
Many people had a false print of the closing price at exactly that price point.
Gripzool
that ain't necessarily true; Cut and paste from one of my brokers, Yesterday on annual basis 20,17%
17-12-2019 Cel-SCI Corp 20,17%
And on your website you state; Thus, the only way to prevent your shares from being borrowed is by putting them in a cash (non margin) account.
That is also not THE truth also, just open an (margin) account with for example the German broker FLATEX
Also; naked shorting (of American stocks) is not forbidden in all the countries, for example I can short Google as much as I like in Paris, either trough stock, or Turbo's or CFD's or whatever instrument they create.
Gripzool
One of my brokers just sold itself to a German company. De Giro ---> Flatex
They reminded me of the following; Leent flatex mijn effecten uit?
Nee, de geldende Duitse wet- en regelgeving staat dit niet toe en dus doen wij dit ook niet.
"the German law doesn't permit lending out of securities' 'So we don't.'

(looks like a buy signal on the close is in the making even though I can't be bothered with that on CVM)
A wonderful thing I noticed today. We joined the list of relative strength above 90. Some odd days before now. Implications; It is sure on my trade screen and on the trade screen of a lot more traders. More trading volume would do good, no matter what the reason and motive.

Whoo whoo, shorts this shorts that, sheesh a market is only a market with sellers and buyers.
Short attack?? predicted 40 + % ago? pffft Not to offend, you all do very good work, but what goes only up?
SSR rule, so easy to evade. You just have to wiggle in the spread and there SHE goes. As long as the bid books are as void as they are, backfilling is a good thing.
Could be fun if we all removed our sell's and thus make a "large" float available for lending out and then reinstate the sell's all at once.
All that being said, nice to have fresh funds in my account.
GBTC still outpacing CVM
lolllll
Reminds me of my 2005 reversed hockey stick ...
