August 18, 20205 yr Be careful with market orders on that site during high volatility. Entered a market order during a halt for a short position of KODK and it appears to have filled the order at a price below it's range after it reopened @ 12:45 ($8.55 recorded on the p/l page; stock resumed trading no lower than ~9.50 during the minute after reopening). Maybe I am missing something in the calculations, or the page will refresh, but be careful using market orders on there when shit is going bonkers.

August 19, 20205 yr 8 hours ago, TheFlyingBoat said: What does R/M mean? Reverse Merger. There is a world of defunct company shells out there (assets, customers, infrastructure) that people like David Lazar make a business of buying up controlling positions on, bring them current and more appealing for another company to absorb. This is the most consistent way you can get the really big % runners. Catch a rumor, or see an update to their leadership, and buy them in bulk when they're in the .000s I'm a career non profit working, and don't have a big trading account. This is the easiest way I've found to take a small amount of money say $500 and make it into a medium amount of money like say $2k and then I bleed my profits off to do fun things with my family rather than reinvesting. Wash Rinse Repeat
August 20, 20205 yr I think I discovered a pretty exploitable idiosyncrasy of our virtual trading platform, so I'm turning myself in for unethical trading. I'm interested in what you guys think. Been slammed all week and haven't done shit with my portfolio of shitty picks. Today I had two meaningless conference calls b2b and traded the same shitty penny stock that I have been watching for a while about 5 times. I wasn't really thinking that much about it really, more amusement than anything else. The deal is that it has been bouncing between .0003 and .0004 all morning. Pretty easy to generate some serious profits. However after doing it several times on the contest, I said fuck it and tried to buy the actual stock. I have an open order at .0003 that has not been filled in like an hour, even though in that time my last buy on HTMW platform did fill. The stock price is fluctuating IRL its just difficult to actually get buy orders filled (despite 500 million shares already traded) . So the returns I realized on the platform likely aren't possible in real life which makes it kind of a bullshit approach, not to mention I don't know if day trading the same stock over and over is really in the spirit of the contest as for the most part I have no time for that shit either. Thoughts on the matter? What should be allowed and disallowed? I'm sure there are hundreds of shitty stocks that oscillate like this that any of us could find. If everyone agrees its bullshit and should not be allowed, how do we allow penny stock speculation within limits? No more than one trade per day, week etc.... on same stock? If we all agree its bullshit, I'll agree to subtract profits from my morning's trading from my final total at contests end. At the end of the day, its an issue with the platform allowing trades that likely would be difficult to execute in real life, but because there really isnt an actual market behind these transactions (they arent matching buyers and sellers) it is possible. Edited to add, I started trying to figure out a bit more about how the platfrom processes orders through trial and error. I could never get orders of 4,000,000 shares filled, so there is some algorithm that decides which orders to process. But 3,000,000 orders eventually always fill. Edited August 20, 20205 yr by Blotto

Was wondering how you made that move to 2nd lol. There is definitely ways to game that platform. Sounds like similar wonkiness that I mentioned upthread where I got a short filled at a price far outside the actual range traded.
August 20, 20205 yr Author Stonkers gonna stonk the system! Damn CRMD. @Blotto .... I believe ur the one who recommended or pointed us to this site. It’s ok for v1....will want to see what’s out there for v2. Any thoughts welcome. Options need to happen. I say if you can do it on the site we are playing on now.....do it!

August 20, 20205 yr When I log into my portfolio, "Everybody Hurts" starts playing automatically. Is that bad?
August 25, 20205 yr Author Looking good so far Ranger. I am waiting on some FDA "news" for CRMD. At least that's what the stocktwits kids are saying....we shall see....just needs to get here before 9/11.

At least that's what the stocktwits kids are saying....we shall see....just needs to get here before 9/11. Ehhh so-so, haven't been timing my plays all that well. Sexiest pick I had was SOAN and I pulled it at $420 when I could have had $2k easy had I waited a day. I've actually been doing better in my real account using my Stonklympics picks since I grab them there first lol. Have made over $2k since we started with a smaller capital investment.
August 28, 20205 yr I haven't been trading as much in this game as I thought I would. Mainly because everything I buy immediately drops 15% the second I touch it.
August 28, 20205 yr Author My CRMD bet is getting luke warm. Following earnings and selling right after would have been a nifty strategy on this one (ie sales force).
August 28, 20205 yr I completely whiffed on pretty much everything this week. Next week is supposed to be my catalysts all lined up. We'll see if I'm smurt or if I got stonked. Edited August 28, 20205 yr by RCRanger03

August 29, 20205 yr I wonder if the right play for RC would have been to shut it all down at +17% or wherever he was and make everyone chase. Although the real shark move is just to fade Trey every morning. That's impressive. Beer on me if we ever bump into each other at a tailgate or whatever, Trey. RIP.

Got over committed on that run up. Which is why my account swings $1000 daily.

September 4, 20205 yr I’m back baby! Still can’t trade my position lol. Kinda pissed I could average when it popped and I went major red.
September 4, 20205 yr Author I’m all in on PELO earnings next week the day before this contest ends. FOMO
September 4, 20205 yr When does this end anyway? Not that it's going to change my SPXL YOLO strategy at all, but just wondering when the rollercoaster stops. If we run this back I'm doing the "throw the dart" method once a day or whenever I remember. Straight up random stock gambling. Contest is way more fun when I just use it as an opportunity to do dumb shit that I'd never do with my family's actual money. Edited September 4, 20205 yr by BradInATX
September 4, 20205 yr Author Ranger had a nice pop. I need to scramble next week...I’m going to play earnings for CHWY and PELO.
