There are the pump n dump chatrooms ran by huckster gurus. If you play the players by bailing early, you can make a little dough. What happens is they pick a vulnerable company and buy up a significant portion of shares, enough to send the price up a bit. Then they announce their "find" in the...

That's nothing, My '01 Dodge pickup levitates all the time. Hold my beer, here we go! YEEEEEEEEEEEEE-Hah!!!!

TSLA is the only thing you need! Made $2215 today. Not bad for a small account? TSLA TSLA TSLA the future is here and it is TSLA get it now before it goes BACK UP to $2300/share! Oh, wait until I buy it back in the morning....

Wow this was an eventful day at Monster Manor. First, I wake up and check my TSLA positions and the IB account is doing exactly what it was supposed to do. Then I had a look at my Alpaca account. The price was post-split, but the number of shares was still pre-split!!!! Okay, so I figured they...

You should be surprised to see me using them again, in any meaningful way, after all this TSLA fluff dies down and I can tie up the money in transfers. I am moving everything but maybe $500 to my IB account. Today I am finally up over $25k combined. I just need a couple thou more for a cushion...

Woke up this morning, IB showed the post-split price and number of shares I held in TSLA in my IB account. Alles gut, right? But I checked on my 5 shares in my Alpaca account and the price is correct for post-split price, but I still only got 5 shares!!!!! So an 80% <POOF!> reduction in my...

Not to hijack the thread, but until I started with Alpaca and TradingView, I had never heard of Pine. There doesn't seem to be a lot of documentation. Anybody know where I could find the docs, and is there some reason why I would want to use Pine instead of a Python script? Hope I am not coming...

What was said, that was racist? Just curious. I think you mentioned this before, and was asked the same question, and didn't have an answer. If fact, the person who asked was me, I think. So are you just trying to paint someone as a racist, or trying to be the internet's moral watchdog and...

Small traders don't need leverage. Small traders just need to be able to trade. Without waiting for THEIR money to "settle" whatever that actually means. Computers do all the bookkeeping and they can do it nearly instantly, literally. A cash account, as the existing rules define it and regulate...

Got skunked today, no doubt about that. I went back over every move I made, and everything seemed pretty reasonable. One place where I would have maybe bailed early in the morning session, after two lower lows and three consecutive red candles, I compared it to where I actually DID bail, and it...

Me, I dropped out of high school cause I made more money shrimping than our lawyer was making at the time. So half the time I don't understand what the gurus are saying, anyway. I just trade and make money and if that's the wrong way to do it, then I'm just wrong. I read a few books. Since they...

Ah never mind. I got it.

Darn. I was figuring the stock would flagpole on up to at least $2400. Was this the dip of the day, just early? Or do I still have the afternoon dip to contend with? The blue line is where I need to be, to be at $25k in combined equities. $2300 is where I bought 6 shares this morning on margin...

HAHAHA I sometimes read on the front porch with my hookah and a glass of port in the evenings. The yellow bug lights make yellow highlighter disappear. I am using Orange now. Green is okay too but orange is the one for me.

I was hoping for another couple hundred bucks from my 10 shares of TSLA but I wake up to the pleasant surprise that I am back up over $25k again for the combined accounts. Well, $24k anyway. I withdrew $1k to my checking, and when it clears I will put it in my IB. Left me with $20 cash in...

Linux on the computers, and custom open source Android on my phones. I have I think 5 Note 3 phones, best phone Samsung ever made. Mrs Monster does have a WinDOHs laptop that Shell makes her use for work. I won't touch it. Ewwwwwww.... Seriously, yes and I honestly don't see why WinDOHs even...

No plan survives intact after first contact with the enemy.

So the split will actually occur before, during, or after hours, on Monday?

TSLA! BUY IT UP NOW, BEFORE IT HITS $10k!!!!!

Not a bad idea. Now that I know what they are, and how to turn them off, they don't bother me that much, anyway. I'm not scalping or anything, anyhow. Just sort of a very active swing trade at the moment. Riding herd on two accounts at once, maybe a little too active. But my other account I am...
