As a previous telecoms engineer, it wasnt really about the fact they built their own as much as it was the optical distance shortening. Normal high speed fiber lines still snake and weave around natural and manmade obstacles. The Flash Boys effort was all about a "at any cost" direct linking...

My gut says we have 1-2 more weeks maximum before Omicron burnout. (No one left to infect here in the UK) The USA will likely lag this data by a bit. Once infection numbers start to come down, I think we get the real travel relief move. Yet keep in mind, hospitalizations are a trailing...

Been scaling in and out of NCLH Mar 22.5C options. My IRA is up 17% realized gains YTD. Only used 25% of my cash Buying Power. Options really are the crack of the trading world.

Hey, employee here. TSLA is part of our hard to borrow program. Essentially some stocks are super volatile/we may have to have other firms lend us shares, so they're not shortable unless you're enrolled, even on a margin account. The requirements are to have a single account (not split) worth...

Not trying to call some BS forum drama... but .. maybe I am. ToS has restricted TSLA short trades without utilizing their HTB program for as far back as I can remember (well back into 2021). Today you claim you can't short TSLA and didn't even know the HTB program existed. @Shonuff Are you...

Flashy youtube videos.. preferably with (rented) lambos.

Christ no. Those are basically pump and dump clubs. The leaders of those hacks are positioned before they call something out, then sell on the call out bump. Typically trading low float / penny stocks that move with little volume. They are the modern day email / phone text clubs of yesteryear.

As great of a platform that TDA is, it really isnt great for day trades. First off, they are selling for order flow (thats your commission "free" trades). On top of this, it is well known to lag a bit on market open. As well as Fidelity and others. Lightspeed is a professional platform, but...

ToS platform hotbuttons. Literally just made the trade to prove a point. ToS is my swing trade platform and I am typically using manual entries (on the ladder). Lightspeed is my daytrade broker and I absolutely use hotkeys as well as a custom programmed StreamDeck.

The fuck you talking about? Have you still not figured out how to join the TDA HTB program? Literally takes a few minutes in chat support. You owe me 23c for proving you're a dumb dumb.

This. We are basically all the way back to 2 weeks ago index levels. The horror!

Hindenburg putting out another hit piece. (RCL targeted) https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/26526-hindenburg-research-is-short-on-royal-caribbean-stock.html

HUM ouch. (-20%)

I had seen talk of a mention on CNBC. Like most CNBC mentions = pop and drop

That was just what I typed earlier. Stuff bought out of the gate for a quick pop, then ran out of buyers and we legged lower. It is trying to recover again here over the SPY 50D and QQQ 100D, but needs to settle out a bit. This whippy action is indicitive of trying to find a new base. Just got...

Saw this over at reddit and thought it was perfect.

The ideal situation would be another quick volume sell at the open and then a bounce. This establishes a stronger low to work off of with real buyers stepping up to the plate. If we just drift lower or open sideways, it is far harder to guage safe entries. A big move up out of the gate is...

This is exactly what I should have done. For some reason, I was hell bent on trying to perfect it. Keep in mind, we had rolling lockdowns, no vaccines, and complete uncertainty in what was going on with the pandemic at the bounce in March. I had very much credible reason to be skeptical. The...

This is a long read, but please hear me out! Of course, but that is far easier said than done. What crystal ball is going to tell you exactly when this will take place? Of important note, there are two sides of that coin. Say you theoretically time it just right and move to safe havens before...

^^ This ^^ Timing the markets is tough. We could see another 50%+ upside over the next few years. Then "crash" and wipe 30% off and you'd still be 20% lost gains. The markets are forward looking. So the fact the news came out yesterday about rate hike pace, the current market sell is pricing...

And FB just denied the earlier news leak of their VR/AR OS. MTTR might pick back up, but it is below all of the support levels right now.

MTTR under the 200DMA and below the ascending TL support from months back. Careful if you're long.

Just hit the newswire: This changes the MTTR trade for me. Not looking for that support entry and going to wait and see how this plays out.

MOC flat now. (whip!)

Personally, I have had my eye on the 200D MA (currently at 17.45). You've also got an ascending support trend line sitting just under that at about 17.35. (TL from 13May2021. This zone is a (safer) place for entry, however, as Blazin said this can get blown out and hunt for lows. It recently had...

I really want these shares back. :mad: (Jan 2021) 01/13 FORD MTR CO DEL COM You Bought 1,400 @ $9.285 01/13 FORD MTR CO DEL COM You Bought 2,600 @ $9.29

Sometimes I am talking (posting) thoughts out loud.. looking at GM chart today, it recovered the stock price on the news and then some. Wacky markets going to continue to be wacky. No trade here.

Jeez. I go out for an hour to pick up my car from service, come home and F is up 12.5%. Tomorrow, Ford will be reporting Q4 and yearly sales. If it is anything like GM just reported today (-43% sales year/year), this could be a short opportunity.

I was just chatting with someone over my skepticism on F and carmakers in general. Demand for their EVs is one thing, but Q4 was full of plant closures due to chip shortages and I am very interested to see what Q4 results are. Could potentially put a reality check back on these names. Not even...

F just monstering along again with a staggering 9% move today.

Up 4% on this from yesterday.

Trimmed some DIS for 10%. Trimmed some NCLH calls for 40%

96% accuracy at the end of vid. That's like an Asian F, right?

To further validate my point, pushing the chart back to the last year you can see multiple double, triple, quad tops. Each time they have failed, there is a marked pullback in price before finally breaking out. You can often see after the breakout, the stock can retrace to backtest the previous...

Here's a better chart to get a real view of the price action. Clearly, the 100DMA was the best entry looking back. But you can also see the 50DMA provided an attempted bounce as well. These are your best entry points. I didn't bother marking out pivots (can be equally valid support /...

As someone who preaches Technical Analysis as much as you do Fundamentals for your value boomer stocks, I am surprised you dismiss these. Double top is valid as it becomes a resistance / breakout point. Buying right at a previous top would be a fairly risky play. You need real volume to break...

Up 2% on the day on my JPM too. Long hold for me, especially going into 2022 rate hikes.

ORCL looking interesting down here. Fairly beaten up stock and right at the 200DMA
