Just wanted to see if you were actually paying attention. I obviously wasn't.:banghead:

Hey we mastered penny stock manipulation. Best in the world at it. Might as well learn form the best. :D

Lets see; a good stock will increase in price; a dud stock trades in a range or decreases in price. As a trader or an investor your capital isn't earning a return. What else do I have to know? And what good will it do me?

Why not? The penny stock market is an open auction market. Price moves on how the participants perceive what ever data they gather. To make money you only have to follow price. It doesn't matter why it moves it only matters that it moves.

The best penny stock primer you can find is a book by Alexander Tadich (Ex stock broker from Calgary Alberta) called Raging Bulls "Outfox promoters at their own game on any Penny Stock Market". It's hard to find but there are a few used copies floating around. Might even be a PDF download...

OK We all agree that AMZN isn't a penny stock. Lets get on with the education.

For free you can use ET. Post your plan for a trade and then post how you made the trade. If you varied from the plan explain why. That's what you should expect a mentor to do. A mentor will ask why? You have to be prepared to explain your action.

To follow up if you had bought 1 share at 18, after the first split you'd have 2 shares, a 3 for 1 split would give you 6 shares and the final 2 for 1 gives you 12 shares. $18/12 shares= $1.50 per share cost basis.

Those numbers are after splits. AMNZ iPO'd at 18.

Seriously Mic? Amazon was never a penny stock. IPO price was 18. It split 3 times before 2000 then ran up to 90 bucks before the tech wreck when it plummeted to just under 6. Since then it hasn't split. Just under 6 dollars is as cheap as you could have ever bought it.

Having spent my younger days playing the Vancouver Stock Exchange. I'm looking forward to this. Possibly you can spent a minute going over your background and maybe your returns.

When it gets to $40 sell 1/2 and you have a risk free trade. Let the winners run.

Vancouver in it's heyday was like printing money. Just follow the pump and dump rule book and don't get too greedy. Toronto today (TSE) has a few more stringent regs but it's still companies that take stuff out of the ground. Last few years have seen pretty good returns. Aside from Bre-x...

Details; you are short on details. Beat by how much? What market? How long is a long period? If the market is down 50% and you are only down 49% is that good enough? How are you measuring the markets for performance? Stocks, Commodities, Forex or Crypto? A long period for a day trader is...

Don't be too hard on me cause I don't understand futures. I'm making the assumption that when you roll you close one position and open another further out. When you roll do you realize a capital gain/loss?

That would be me. Well it I wasn't the first but I say it all the time. :D:D:D

Could you be a little more specific as to what you think an edge is? Spare no details. You don't generate an edge. It is either there or it isn't. How you take advantage of an edge is what separates the good traders from the mediocre.

What have you learned?

Long my upside is unlimited; Short my downside is unlimited. At least with longs I know the maximum I can lose.

No I'm not throwing money away, I'm sitting on it. I may be missing some wonderful opportunities but I'm not losing any money.
