The law allows them to downgrade a stock and buy it too. Check their filings and times of disclosure. They do this regularly. Tank the price, then buy in. Politicians also are allowed to have huge conflicts of interest and make a lot from that. Criminals, all. Rules for thee and not for me. They...

Up a couple of percent today. Traded like an idiot though.

The up/downgrades make the price fly or crash, at times. Other times like Citron/Muddy Waters type can ruin people.

Thanks. My account is up. Bigly!

Oh, I'm not small minded by the way, I have big brain. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/prediction-based-trading.351176/page-42 check out my live calls.

When GS & co up/downgrade a stock, it's legitimate. But when a YouTuber does it, they're fair game. SEC also failed in the Madoff case. They're still letting Steven Cohen trade (the criminal). The SEC is a spectacular failure.

found the SEC's elitetrader account.

I was not talking about those specific cases. If we are talking about this case, then we need to ask how they got to be tradable without having filed the prerequisite information. Maybe the SEC should do their job better.

Just because a criminal does a good deed, does not exempt them from punishment for wrongdoing.

It worked just now but they are covering it up.

Not that bad so far. Should have been 1 breakeven and no losses but human error is a factor too.

Need to sue the SEC. Criminals.

yeah i used to play a lot of games and i got good

Somehow another up day. I think I'll just use limit orders whenever possible. Much easier.

don't do weekly picks, doesn't work. just have a strategy and see where it works best, and spam it in the best area

nvm there was still a 5 sec delay, it just made the stock disappear as soon as I pressed. Even tough it was not closed at the time. Made back much of the loss but had it closed when I pressed, would have been up on the day. Whatever

I think I'll just go all in max margin on every single trade and see what happens

Blew all my gains from a TSLA short. The price level was right but it made a sharp reversal in a single min in the real account but I chased it in the C2 one after but it was too late. So I held it for a bit but kept going up so I closed it eventually. C2 doesn't have TWS to connect to is a...

The 5 second wait from entry isn't there anymore. Scored another half percent. Need to hold these shorts sometime; market keeps going down and no drawdown on these trades either

Yes, I avoid holding overnight when possible. There are occasional trades where next day direction/gap can be estimated with good probability (as long as its not earnings). I do trade the early morning volatility at times as well. It isn't quite as precise as usual but still has positive reward...
