Thanks for the general advice. I guess you didn't read the entire thread. I'm NOT a HODLer of cryptos. I trade it in and out. I don't hold any long term positions in cryptos. I just said it was my most profitable asset class so far this year. This does NOT mean I hold cryptos. In fact, I'm flat...

Here's the update. All the paperwork is cleared. I'm starting work next week. However, I will continue to trade. I have about 1.5hours a day in the morning to trade before work. Maybe more if I get up super early. I'm on PST time so in theory I could be up trading at 5am PST or whatever...

I totally agreed. There was so much pumping and constant buying today. Just insane. I should have gone long and stayed long until the end or near the end. No one can time the top perfectly. I'm glad that I was able to get out of my put at a profit (entry: $17, exit: $30). At one point, I...

which broker did you use to short 100 CFDs of TLRY?

i would agreed. This was gambling. I should have stayed with the long trend and got out when it went crazy. That's proper trading.

still in your short? good job!

got out of the put at $30. Got in at $17. So almost 100%. But only 1 lot. Just for giggles. When TLRY was at $300 my put went as low as $5.6. I thought about doubling down. Of course, now it's at $38.. Lesson learned go with the trend. Only at super duper uber extreme then go countertrend...

is it halted again? that's like 2x now..

the spread on my put is 9bid/ask15. LOL! I can't even get out if I wanted to.. P.S. Now, the bid9/ask 20. Should i try to get in between??

So, maybe there's still a chance. Glad I did puts instead of naked shorting(which I can't anyways). But it's about missed opportunities. I could have doubled my account today if I had gone with the trend.. Lessons learned. I'm only down a small amount since I only bought 1 put contract. Still...

Never felt more stupid! Should have stayed long!! WTF was I thinking? Runaway train! No shares were available for shorting which is a good thing!

i should have stayed long rather than be fancy with stupid puts. My problem I get out of supertrends too soon.. then do the stupid thing and countertrend

I'm using them as my only quote provider. If I had another brokerage account then I can compare prices.

Now they updated the bid/ask prices. So is it illegal to show fake prices? So it was NOT price improvement. It was just fake prices all this time.

Now it shows. So for the last 10-15minutes, IB was showing fake prices! Is that illegal?

WTF?! Is IB trying to screw their own customers??? The bid/ask is showing I would be up. But the Account Summary tab shows that the market price is $2 away? So, basically IB is not showing true prices??? I bought at 17.01 and the bid/ask was 19/20 yet my P&L was negative(??!). Then I looked at...

I would never short something shooting up like this. But I have been buying in and out. Just now, I decided to buy 1 put to see ... Mostly for entertainment since I don't want to short this thing. But a pullback might be developing today.. The most interesting thing was I got filled $2 away...

While I agreed that in principle, but in practice there are certain price actions I look for to exit optimally. I guess I could try to quantify that. But it's more on a case by case.

You are right! I'm still kicking myself. I could have put on a smaller size and still made $5k-$10K-$15K. Now I made nothing because I was planning to put on a mega size and too afraid to hold overnight. Shucks!

Last night I saw this opportunity. Looks juicy. But I was afraid to put it on since it's a 24/7 market. I didn't want to stay up all night monitoring it. This morning woke up to see had I put the position on it would been have a nice $20K-$30K gain(depending on how much I was willing to buy). I...
