Nelson, that's funny
But really, I can only tell you what has happened to me this year. Around 80% of the trades I've make have gone against me, starting within minutes after my trade, and if long, the stock would stay down till I sold, be it hours or days. Then within a few minutes to a half hour after I sold, it would start going up again. If I then got back in, it would immediately stop going up, and the same pattern would happen all over again. This was most pronounced when I shorted a stock ie SNOW, DOCU, DASH, U, etc. In fact around 2/3 of the time I shorted this kind of stock, it would go up 3%-7% within an hour, and if I held on, even 10% within two hours, no matter how long the stock was going down before I shorted ! Sometimes I held on to these short positions for days, and they would just not go down until I sold ! I am not kidding ! Wadegarret has lost back 2/3 of all gains from last year because of it, and in my real portfolio, around 100% of last years gains(as I don't short individual stocks in Wadegarret, as I do in my real portfolio.
Yes, I am convinced I'm being watched, and my trades are being followed, and the stocks I play are being manipulated based on this. Now you might ask how is this possible, your just being totally paranoid ? Well I was told once by an ex broker who worked on the Chicago Board of Trade for many years, that retail trades of either $200K+ all at once, or a quick pattern of trades for a given stock of $200K+, were watched, especially if done frequently, and that one could be so to speak tagged. Well I was trading given stocks in the amounts of $500K to up to $1M per stock all year, a dozen times per week, and I do believe I was tagged, and that my trades were watched, and the stocks i played were shorted or longed based on my trades, and a study of my behavior. I don't know how exactly it was done, but it has happened just as I described. Because of this, I am now playing with only 6%-7% of my cash, and have all the rest in fixed income at 4%-5%. I do have one stock GERN, but it appears someone doesn't want to let this stock go up either, and shorts the stock down every single time it rallys for any reason ie the way it gave back 100% of the Goldman Sachs 20% gains from an large upgrade yesterday, and then went negative, and ended at a low for the day !
