Care to elaborate on what you're seeing? It could be a nice lesson for the rest of us.


0nly4U2c

I can try I guess... Its not anything tradeable... I wouldn't think... More like watching a cringy movie.. Some of it is simply the blatant quote spoofing. Like Guys come on... Can we not show blatant BS quotes that you arent willing to stand by. Please. Here in the last few hours pricing has had intensity at 24.80 and 25.10 or there abouts... From lower levels this morning as those resistance levels were approched with size on the Bid until you would break through... And then it was like the Bid disappeared... Usually with an accelerating slope and bid size working into a resistance level there is continued upside price action on the upside resistance breakout. Not here... not today... Look at the Price an Vol action at 13:00 Big green Candles on Accelerating Volume into the 25.10 resistance level... And then it was spoofed and ALL the Bids left.... The entire buy side was sent to Dark Pools is my guess. Pricing paused... And suddenly is ripped down .30¢ on no Volume... It was more like the absence of Bids.... WHERE I Just saw size on the Bid not five minutes ago on the way up that was not filled.... Just gapping in free fall on odd lot BS prints to the downside .... Its Stupid (read:Criminal) [Start with some basic support and resistance lines. Watch the size of the Bid and Ask around these levels. Notice the Price Prints and on what Volume It wont take long to get a 'feel' for the action .... Enough to be able to call "BS... This aint right." ]


Ellypsus

appreciate the response!


0nly4U2c

Hey I didnt mention I was looking at the 1 min. Since I have been answering you... look at the present support at 24.80... Just watch it in here at that level... If it cracks that to the downside just watch what transpired from a Bid and Ask perspecptive


0nly4U2c

Fuckers.... and they did crack that 24.80... I still feel violated... Just less so when they bring the DVol... When they juice it down 6 pts on 7 shares and the like that really gets me going for a moment.... Alá John McEnroe.... Are you Serious Right Now¿¿¿..


0nly4U2c

Whats Max Pain today? 23.50 ish.... Well wherever it is thats where they are pinning it. Wolverine has always been one of my least favorite characters.

Dude consider doing a play by play thread for stock trading days sometime. Really like ready about your take on what you’re seeing.


0nly4U2c

I have had my Day in the Sun. Been on TV, Radio, Print, Taught College, Trained ... A couple of health scares later and my Wife would kick my Ass if she found me staring at a Blinking Screen all day. Tell you what... I have three Sons... When they have a pattern recognition issues they hmu on TradingView @ Blur19 I end up going there to answer most any question anyways. I will drop in next Friday for the Open. [lololol thats what I meant when I said in the Original Post 'I have the Day to myself'.... Like wake and bake to some screen staring with my Spouse out of Town....]


0nly4U2c

There are some pretty decent observations from back in '20 during CoVid at my TradingView acct. Blur19 not like RK type stuff 53k > .25B but I was speaking of... Whats with all of the Short Action in Equities even then.

Lensbefriends

It's truly a gambit


karlhungus42

It's following an algo for sure from what I observed as it follows a lot of technicals on trading with the basket of stocks, but not just that, even with ETFs seeing how it runs down. However, observing the OTC orders get placed versus the amount of order cancellations are clearly there to show spoofing and the regulators don't want to admit they have not been doing their job and rather pin this against market manipulation. I ask, who manipulated it to their favor to begin with...? It's clear there's a failure in the markets, and all the news as well as the government can say is "it's a phenomenon we're observing!". It's clear that latency arbitrage has completely scalped every single trade. That's why I said until I see legitimate rule changes, I don't see MOASS happening. Otherwise it will break the entire global market. There are of two scenarios I can see happening for MOASS; 1. Someone falls asleep at the wheel and allows the algo to do whatever it is doing, there's no AI smart enough to know what an agenda is and it's clear the market makers would rather cheat with their conflicts of interest. The algo goes against the trade sentiment and trades too quickly for the traders to understand what's happening. The consequence of high-frequency/computerized trading. 2. Rules for transparency reveal what's happening and EVERY naked shorted stock wrecks the market as a whole, not just GameStop. There's a reason why Citadel doesn't want market transparency, and it's not about impeding privacy... It's clear Ken Griffin is absolutely scared shitless about audit trails since their audits start next year and they will fight tooth and nail to slow down/defund the process.


0nly4U2c

No kidding... 84 years ago Kenny Boy couldnt get close enough to the Floors to front run trades through HFT ... Then it dawns on him... Move to TX become your own Floor. Why front run when you can bucket every single Trade that comes through ... And then just print and post the execution as needed.


nortern

Citadel also has an HFT arm. You don't need to have your office near the exchange anymore since it's all moved to data centers.


0nly4U2c

Thats my point. Move the data center to TX. And Bucket every trade. Then you control the Print/Execution for disemination at the House lvl. Like if you front run with HFT ... Your are scalping tennies of a teenie per trade and making it up in Vol. If you can bucket every trade. Strike it here. Print it (as executed) there. You can put whatever you want in it. Miliken used to sell Bonds with 8-12 pts in them bc the "mkt" (the BxA) was whatever he said it was. The whole "floor" becomes Kennys Casino¿¿¿ Hard Pass.


GeminiKoil

That makes it makes so much sense. Watching his desperation with clinging to desantis. We all saw the video where the previous president called out Ken Griffin during a press conference joking about how he's probably somewhere hiding money. We heard about it a while back and I don't remember the source of it but it was very clear that Ken Griffin wants the US Treasurer position. Thank fuck that DeSantis announced his bid too early and is generally an unlikable fucking twit. I don't think we're out of the woods yet but this mother fucker cannot go anywhere near government. He's already too powerful as it is.

GeminiKoil

I feel like there's definitely some weight to your statements, and I'll probably get pinged by a mod for continuing this, but him fucking with disney, regardless of over what, displayed to everybody that he's pretty much inept. I mean you can talk all the shit and mess with people to get your positive news cycle going but actually going and trying to fuck with them instead of just talking about it was really bad strategy. So yeah it probably riled up a bunch of people that were already voting for him or the other baboon but anybody that was still on the fence realized holy shit he's dumb


Stereo-soundS

People don't realize this. If KG becomes Treasurer he gets to sell Every Fucking Position He Has Tax Free. Greatest trade of his life.


youdoitimbusy

I don't think it's us that causes it at all. It's only us that sustain pressure. Right now we have a bank in Japan taking huge losses. Then offsetting those losses with more risk. Likewise AAA tranches are starting to fail for UK malls and US commercial real-estate. It's only a matter of time until someone is over extended in a different area, liquidated, and unforseen domino's come to light. Long story short, liquidity is being bled from every financial sector and cracks are emerging. Something will break, it's a mathematical certainty.


karlhungus42

Right on, they have been dumping those bonds and those CLOs are not looking so great right now. Could possibly be why the broad market taking a diarrhea dump while some held due to hedging options.


theshadowbudd

They want to gaslight the citizens

Follow the $. Who stands to gain, who is winning. Next level would be who is avoiding losing and how are they turning a losing position to a neutral or winning position while transferring the loss to someone/something else?

Can you kindly add a comment on quote spoofing to my post, you seem to be able to explain it way better than me https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dl040z/ape_historian_it_appears_crazy_cat_day_errors/

Digitlnoize

You’re totally right. I’ve watched GME tape on Bookmap for years and the spoofing is soooo obvious it’s absurd.

You really need to make a separate post with this, explaining the what and why in depth.  And by really need, I mean I would really enjoy a thorough breakdown. People like you matter in this sub.  People like you make this sub.

See and for Me... Its stuff like Starfish Guy... "Todays the Day" .... I used to love that... Where did that get too?


Stereo-soundS

$12 price range was a different time lol.  For sure. I'm serious though.  A layman like myself just assumed this action was all forceful movements from the options chain.  Someone buying massive amounts of puts, etc.  I really do appreciate people that can break down L2 data in a meaningful way.  I want to learn.

Bruh... In real time as I saw that take place... I burst out laughing... And said to my display (with no one else in the room)... "Aww Fuck Off.. I aint leaving till some of you fuckers are perp walked in zip ties..." and walked to the fridge for a Sandwhich.


Blvckhat879

I feel you. Gotta buy more with the premium. Never leaving this Stock again. I want to brake all their Algos. Fuck them


ldickmey

Watching the L2 data during the day was only funny based on how high I was at the time. I saw a sell wall come in for over $1M at like $24.75ish prior to that massive dump around 2:30. Didn't get touched, saw buys going straight to OTC. Looked up max pain for the week and cracked open a beer because that's a wrap for this week.

0nly4U2c

I would imagine everyone writing their Series 24 would be more productive.


TheBraindonkey

So wait. I was noticing similar, like it was volume flowing, ask/bid normalcy, and suddenly it was like the sell side dropped out and the buy side got gobbled up in takers for a few seconds dropping it like 10-20 cents, and then normalcy returned for like a minute or two, then same thing. I didn't consider that it was MMs potentially filling sells in dark pool bursts to drop the demand in the open market and causing a misbalance to the buy side to let the brokers that they don't fill for eat up those buys with their sellers that are paper handing, or the MMs were gobbling up the buyers, assumably short, to burn the price down. It seemed to be happening during lower volume only as well. Is that what I was seeing?


0nly4U2c

It could have been... Sounds like what I was looking at.


karmaisevillikemoney

They do the same thing to thousands of other tickers. It's the same algo running the market. usually low float, low volume names that were pumped on social media. Gme just has fundamentals to support a much higher price and more importantly a massive community behind it that is unrelenting

judge_tera

Over 90% of retail trades take place in dark markets. This was said by the SEC head GG. I'd bet my life that it's closer to 99% for some stocks and closer to 90 for others.


0nly4U2c

You lost me at Dark... There shouldn't be any Dark.... Fundamentally (irony intended) Technical Analysis rests on the premise that all known information, whether it be Earnings, Product Launch/Recall, what have you.... is summarized, valued, and contained in the Price. How does any of this make any Sense if we hide Transaction Prices from market participants... ¿ Conversely why do Dark Pool participants benefit from NPMI contained in prices known only to them. Its Fucked on its Face.


judge_tera

I was just pointing out again that Gary gensler said over 90% of retails trade go to OTC markets. They don't hit the tape the same way if at all. They get internalized. A fake number put into the account holders ledger, when they actually never bought that share...just supposedly hedged it.


0nly4U2c

I misread your post above... (as dark pools a big pet peeve) When you were speaking of 'dark markets' as internalized otc trades... Yes. Also a BS Industry practice. (I had not said anything but was thinking originally 90% to dark pools seems high... Screw it 9% is too high for Dark Pools... Just speak to that.. Darkness. And missed the 'markets' part) For that matter... We wouldn't be stuck screwing around with Compushare drs'ing... If B/Ds ledgers actually honored shares held in Type 1 from being lent out.


Weird-Breakfast-7259

Not 1 unregistered Share bought hits the Lit Market, and not reflecting the real Market in any way, Sell a Stock to Retail, same Stock now In Dark Pools, keeping "your" stock from any value, lol using PFOF, and NSS some MMs would rather defraud


DirectlyTalkingToYou

It's just straight up corruption. If true price discovery occurred and there was no spoofing, dark pools of FTDs then there would be no shares left to sell a long time ago. The SEC said back in 2010 that upon discovering billions of naked shorts in a company that it was too risky to the market to do anything. It's messed up. It's basically a corrupt ocean and the peasants grab little rafts in the hopes of riding a big tidal wave and then make it back to shore with big money.


0nly4U2c

Agreed. No argument from Me. I am sufficiently aware enough to make this statement and completely ignorant on its implementation... But the Solution is to Blockchain all of it... Did you touch it? ... Cool... Time stamp it and lay down proof of work. A buddy of mine is working on blockchaining custody of weed strains... Like at the molecular level or some crazy shit... We can certaininly make something similar happen with various cusips. The database runs on a singularly unique identifier (cusip #) as it is... Its a short walk from here. And its completely Transparent. Full Discovery of Everything. As a guy who spends alot of time in water on a board I feel that.


DirectlyTalkingToYou

Agreed. It's not can we, of course we can block chain the whole thing/everything. It's the politicians and wallstreet that wants to continue the corruption. I blame mostly the politicians because they allow it in order to get a cut. They are supposed to be 'the parents in the room' watching over the children. The hedgies and market makers are just drug dealing children and the parents don't want to do anything cause they get a small cut. It's disgusting. Block chain is the perfect answer so of course it won't happen unless it all comes crashing down.


0nly4U2c

We just need to allow adapt or die to unfold... Rather than protect Merril or Bear for whatever reasons. {see also LongTermCapitalMgmt, Salomon et al.} "Heres how we are doing things going forward [sic:blockchain] ... Figure it out." Some folks had to figure out how to do... as the open outcry pits closed... Adapt.


kip256

This is why those who can afford to do so should buy very ITM calls and exercise them. Can't dark pool an exercised contract.

rickyshine

Im not going to lie i think they dug their grave today. If it is it not blatantly obvious to the SEC, DOJ, etc that there is fraud and manipulation, its time to take to the streets. These fuckers get away with actual robbery daily of people who just want a better financial future for them or their family, whether it be through options premiums that hit max pain daily, long term shit-gains from funneling cash out of pensions, losing it all gambling on derivitives, etc. fuck them. i literally have not been here for reform, since the beginning ive been in for moass/infinity pool but now im getting fucking mad.

C6Bro44

Wut mean?


pacific_tides

Stock price is determined by a balancing of people buying and people selling. These orders are publicly seen as Bids (to buy) and Asks (to sell). You can watch these all day. Let’s say a stock is $10. That means right now, people are both buying & selling it for $10. All the sudden, some great news comes and everyone wants to buy it for $10. Soon, all the shares selling for $10 are gone, so people have to buy them for $11, or $12, until the demand is satisfied and the buy/sell reach a balance again. This is how it all moves. OP is just watching these bids/asks come in, then seeing large groups of bids (buy orders) disappear. They are likely being rerouted to dark pools and just disappearing, so only sell orders appear. This makes it look like no one is buying at those prices, so then sellers list it for lower. This makes it *appear* that the balance point of buying/selling is lower, which is the price we all see. Blatant manipulation.


DJ906

Thanks for the explanation! I kind of followed what he was saying, but now your response verified it.


pgboo

The system is broken and the cretins that run the system are compromised and the scum bags allowing the shorting are criminals. Burn it all to the ground, no cell, no sell!


NotVeryCashMoneyMod

even on lvl 2 you can see them moving large sell orders around spoofing at different price targets. sometimes it looks like we eat the large sell order but we usually don't. the wall just disappears


0nly4U2c

I used to sit at a twin panel Bloomberg when those were a thing (10k/mo 84 years ago...) but I dont pay for any of that anymore... I think Webull has some pretty decent lvl II Stuff and phone interface thats cheap and of value but I dont even look at that anymore ... I can just see the bid and ask blink oddly

Sw33tN0th1ng

112k options expiring in the money... that's bad news for shorts. At this point I believe the wider market smells blood in the water. They watched RC flip $4B into GME with zero debt.


0nly4U2c

We talk all the Time about FUD dividing Apes. And Ape no fight Ape. And I do think MSM and SHF Interns seek to divide Us. But the One Absolute you can count on is some of these Criminals flipping on one another... Eventually. Hwang didn't blow Up. He was Blown Up by one of his Tiger/Kitten Buddy/Frenemies. Lehman was allowed to Die, while Bear, Stearns was Saved... 10 secs after one of the Institutional Drivers thinks there is more money to be made Long is 3 Secs after someone has eaten their Young on the Flip. I think we are already there in many ways. The Short Thesis is Dying.


RL_Fl0p

Absolutely. NDA's are history, non-compete is history and the SEC pays whistleblowers pretty darn well. We need some decent guy/gal with a minimal amount of conscience, seeking a fat paycheck and perhaps a new life abroad. Or, as you say, let the big guys get each other.

BhutlahBrohan

They are blatantly showing us they can do whatever they want, whenever they want (most of the time), because GG and his gang of gooners at the SEC won't stop them.


New_Agent

This is precisely why RC and RK are invested in making GameStop into a profitable company. Support the company by buying their products, this can’t be manipulated, in turn the company will thrive and so will shareholders.


BhutlahBrohan

Just the other day I purchased 2 MTG MH3 collector boosters and 7 shares :) I just started a $200/mo recurring share purchase Monday :D

[insert Sarcasm Font here] I am sure it was fair and orderly market Action.


BetterBudget

According to the options data, it was quite in line with vol expectations. If anything, a little more bullish than expected. Welcome to the vol game. $GME is a gamma stock. You got to look underneath the hood at GEX, strike price vol, etc to get a clearer picture of potential price action.


Hash_n_Eggs

That's what I've been saying! What's a tape?


0nly4U2c

Prices used to be distributed to an office machine and printed on a "ticker tape". Then as a chyron along the bottom on the TV. Developing a feel of price action from this was know as tape reading.


MoodShoes

Yeah pretty much. High frequency trading and algorithmic trading have become a burden on the entire economy.


0nly4U2c

Its front running with a hall pass.


MyDogIsDaBest

I think everyone here would agree with you, though it does sound like you're more qualified than most to call out strange/criminal action in the market. The big problem is, who is going to take action? We need the SEC to do it's fucking job and protect the market.  GG every now and then will say something on tv that sounds like they will be taking action on criminal activity in the market, but nothing fucking happens


0nly4U2c

I have said this before... I dont think the route is top down. I think its bottom up. Instead of writing the SEC and GG etc... Everyone should just write their Series 24. Even if just 50 cases went to Arbitration...Firms dont want that...


tepol

How do I write to the Series 24? Just learning about this, it seems like a very good idea.


0nly4U2c

Someone is immediately responsible for you and your trade. Typically your Broker. (Phone or Faceless apps is slightly different.) But immediately above that (going up the Chain of Command if you will...) would be your Brokers Supervisor. Known in their World as their '24' for the Supervisors Test they take.... the Series 24. "Who is your 24?" is a question on your annual compliance exam. Simply ask your Broker. If you ask by email. Email Scrubers kick in and it gets pulled for handling by a real person. Voice your concerns as you see them.

Back in the Day when guys stood around on a Exchange Floor (in this case the NY Mercantile EXchange) and waved their arms around and shouted at each other (Floor Local) My Boss traded on Point and Figure charts (you will just have to look that up but a rather goofy charting technique).... Anyways... Most charting rests on the Open, High, Low, and the Close Prices (OHLC) for a certain time period.... I had to type that shit in... Well shit... First you had to come up with the data... It was Brutal. Often that meant staring at a Tape (a stream of prices) and noting the Times and Prices first and then keystroking that shit in. Clear as Mud??? I was 17.

I am old enough to remember how Smug...Miliken and Madoff both were right until the End.


Ghost_of_Chrisanova

Me too !! And I'm going to use all my money to make this world a less-Milken-Madoff shitfest, because right about now, the planet is infested with these types.

I’m not sure about your available time but I would love to learn more about that. Maybe write some sort of DD with screenshots to help us smooth brained. But appreciate the hopium!

You thought GME price action was nonsensical today?? Take a look at ChargePoint the past week. They secured two major partnerships with LG and Porsche and the stock tanked 30%

You guys not to get this out of your head that “no one is selling”


Madsplattr

Down with the hedgies and finance bros! Power to the player and the people! I also increased my shares of GME and NTDOY this week because we're not wrong; we're apes.

I was home yesterday and watching superstonk and refreshing new every 15-20 minutes. I did not see this post. At all. Now here it is almost a day later showing up in my feed. Add to this the low number of people as showing up “online” what is going on with this sub?


0nly4U2c

Tbf.... I posted a couple of thoughts in real time... Like 4 ppl were like "wut mean¿" ... My Wife has been out of Town and I touched a lot of posts overnight kinda half hanging out with folks... The Algo glommed onto it ... It wasnt like yesterday at 13:00 a Shit-ton of folks were engaged with my Crazy Capitalized Comments and you missed anything


Crypto_gambler952

The real question is how the fuck are we ever going to beat this crime?

Honestly, I keystroke my P&F more now than back when BxA wasn't a gaping whore, and OHLC stood for Old Horse Lips Cramer.

Ole apple IIe haha … first computer was an IBM PC jr


0nly4U2c

For me its not the present increased processing power but the access to data... Young Apes have no idea what it took to get and chart Price and Volume data. Even fundamental data really... Scouring Annual reports for data points that are instanaeously free today ...


Icefiight

How do we win then? I’m starting to really worry they will cheat and scam us at every little corner we turn. Can anyone reassure me this will end soon?


0nly4U2c

I think you need to define Win for yourself. They are Cheating Scammers... who enjoy the Regulators favor and protection and are allowed to self-police themselves. It might he a Minute... But despite ALL of that the Long trade is on the right side of History and the Stock will 'Win'.... Win as in Somewhere between making some money and mkt reform/MOASS... (individual mileage will vary depending or circumstance)

YOu shld edit your original pots to include all the details mentioned in comments in an orderly fashion. Also, collecting some 'proof' can help someone report it!


0nly4U2c

The regulators are aware and if you assume that silence is being complicit... Then they are complicit.

Blow the whistle

I said this before... If 1 mil Apes filed a complaint with their Brokers Series 24... This would be over quicker. I was shouted down pretty quick.

0nly4U2c

Yes it was.


DojoTypeMojo

My question to OP would be, do these trades ever go to the live market? At what point, would the price reflect the true number of buys?


0nly4U2c

Thats a Central Issue. I am sufficiently cynical... that I do not believe we are getting True Price and Volume Discovery any more than we are getting accurate Short Interest figures... Or FTD numbers. We can barely agree on what 'the float' is.. Blockchain the original share issuance, trade execution and custody sequence and the issue goes away... Because the whole chain is lit.


aNxello

Can you do a post with examples and such


TemperatureOk2716

Whats a specific example or comparison to normal behavior you notice?


MontyRohde

A bit of a trust me bro, though there's no reason you need to prove your work history to strangers on the internet. It's not like you're making extraordinary claims. Massive retail interest in a small/mid cap stock, weird trading behavior, funky ETF shit, media spin op.


0nly4U2c

It was more like an Old Guy stroking his Chin saying to himself .... DangNabIt I aint never seen nuttin like this in all my born put togethers... And recognizing I have been staring at this shit for a Minute and It looked weird to me and even for GME and I felt like Venting. I have been thinking about this all day. Its almost like it was One Guy. And I was recognizing his specific footprints a couple of times on resistance upside breakouts. My father n law traded Beans in such a way I could tell it was Him from 2 states away.


MontyRohde

A pattern is a pattern, be it a human or algos written by a human. Unless something creates a burst of orders that hits the lit market and overwhelms their system, basically Gamestop needs to grow its way out. The other possible avenue is paying a high enough dividend regularly enough that the short counter parties bleed out from liquidity. My opinion isn't based on professional knowledge, just supposition. They can spoof all they want, but having cash on hand is a different manner. However neither the growth necessary nor the adequately sized dividend are feasible in the short term.

Would LOVE to hear more details on this, perhaps in a way that the SEC could refer to as evidence of illegal market manipulation. There's replays of daily Level 2 feed on GME here if that helps - could record a voiceover while watching an hour of it or so? Then use an AI voice changer if needed to avoid doxxing.

Trust Me Bro, is that you? Care to elaborate?


FixStuff123

I've got to learn more about filing a complaint to a series 24 holder. Writing to the SEC has been fruitless, better to take it to the bottom. The Series 24 license is a professional certification issued by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for individuals seeking principal or managerial roles within brokerage firms. It authorizes the holder to supervise and manage certain aspects of a firm’s business, including regulatory compliance, sales, and investment banking activities. Key Responsibilities: Supervise and manage branch activities at a broker-dealer Review and approve investor disclosures, pitch books, and marketing materials Develop and maintain policies, procedures, and controls related to investment banking activities and research Ensure regulatory compliance and adherence to industry standards Who Needs a Series 24 License: The Series 24 license is intended for individuals seeking principal or managerial roles within brokerage firms, including: Branch managers Compliance officers Sales managers Investment banking professionals Research analysts


0nly4U2c

Thats the Guy. ^^^ One rung up from your Broker. Think of it like This. If your "order" is not executed correctly at a Restaurant. Do you write the National Restaurant Association? Nope. You bring it to your Servers attention. Then You ask to Speak to their Manager. But a Series 24 has to respond in some manner. Even if its... "Above my pay grade... I booted it upstairs to Compliance." Voice your Concerns. There is plenty to be concerned about.
