October has been such a bore, I havent even logged into my brokerage accounts in over a week…
@tbohen yeah, boring, but this has been a great boring week for me! And tomorrow should be a good potential solar short day.
Solar indeed seems to be a hype amongst pumpers. Only trade I did today was CNOZ. I shorted that one yesterday before the close at 0.1250 and closed it today at 0.1000.
Funny thing is, my buy limit was at 0.1050 but I got filled at 0.1000. I guess it was my lucky day :P.
Correction: I shorted CNOZ monday before the close, not yesterday.
@Haxor- Often marketmakers will fill you on their published bid, even if you’re bidding higher. Don’t know why, but I’ve wanted to send flowers to NITE several times myself.
You guys have gotta be kidding me, how do you miss something ASTI, its a friggin PREDICTABLE 10%+ dropper…be very ashamed
@Aaron: Nice market makers right there! Will send flowers do them if it happens more often 😀
@Tim: Hahaha, CNOZ was just as predictable, it’s just a cheaper stock. ASTI was indeed a good one, but I didn’t get any spam mails related to ASTI, so I guess I have to subscribe to some more penny stocking sites.
@Aaron @Haxor
There is a minimum bid size on the OTC/pinks (and its size changes with the stock price) … if your bid is below that it won’t show up, and you will not be filled until somebody whacks the published bid on whichever marketmaker you routed to (which is NITE if you use IB smart-route).
@Tim – I’m gonna blame a serious lack of sleep and some sickness 😉
Hey Reaper,
Thanks for the explanation, I didn’t know that!
Here’s the link on the minimum quote size:
