How do they do that? Can you walk me through the process of selling shares to yourself? Are you moving the price up or down? Where is the public and the institutions during this process? What size of move are MMs able to create? What kind of time frame is involved? Daytrade, swing or longer?

To learn if I should take you seriously. There are things about the way the market works that I still have to learn.

I assume you worked in the industry? Can you give us a little history?

Looking forward to your journal. It's interesting to see how different traders structure their journals.

What is your exit strategy? This is # (0003) so a little early to be too critical but so far there is no too much to be impressed about. Personally I don't short because of the risk of infinite loss.

Sounds similar to what I do. What do you consider a small loss to be. For me it's less than 1% of my portfolio. Edit. Didn't see your 2% answer in your 2nd post

Can you give us an idea on how you manage risk?

It's not whether you are right or wrong that counts it's how much you make when you're right!

I call it reviewing my trades. I look not only at what happened but also if there was anything I could have done different. Did I follow my plan? If not why not. Keeping in mind that the only control I have over the market is my decision to open or close a trade, is there anything I could do to...

I guess you guys are not traders but rather investors. Many time for many reasons I have not been able to contact one of my brokers and have resorted to using my back-up. I'm not saying you'll lose everything, only that your capital may be tied up outside your control while whatever agencies...

Off course it can't happen, too big to fail, government oversite, etc. But what if it did?

Then I have to ask what is the difference between rigging the market and playing the market. Rigging I would think you'd have to have some control over supply.

How do you do that?

Name of the game isn't it. Buy cheap, sell dear, rince and repeat.

So if you wanted to unload a good quantity of bitcoin wouldn't you wait until the price got above your asking then throw a bunch to the market to test it. Sounds no different that the 1920s stock operators who test the market by selling a large number of shares.

Up until the time your broker fails. Unlikely and yes you are covered by insurance, but your money could be sitting for a year or two.

But hold wasn't the plan. I was kind of hoping to get the OP to work off the right side of the chart.

So we are through the supply zone. What's the plan now?

Good idea. Then when ever you deviate from your plan just drive a dart through the back of your hand. Don't focus on the money. Focus on whether you followed the plan. A good trade can have a bad outcome.
