    I keep a watchlist and make short notes, some companies it pays to avoid and never trade them.

    "I don't trade stocks at all, but a guy once told me that reviewing a company's website can reveal important clues. If their website isn’t being updated regularly, it’s a red flag. Another warning sign is if they fail to keep their community informed about the company’s activities on a consistent basis. In other words, you want to see visible action within the company and clear communication with the public. If you don’t observe these signs, the company might be stagnant or struggling. Additionally, it’s crucial to investigate the leadership. Ensure that those running the business are focused on their responsibilities, rather than prioritizing unrelated activities like planting gardens or vacationing."

    Know your market. OP is talking about Canadian penny stocks. There is limited MM competition and they all want the same thing, low volatility and wide quotes. I bet once a stock sinks into penny territory they never get out.

    am i not allowed to learn more outside of my trading plan or strategy?
    this is just a basic question. im not building a strategy on this why does everyone always assume that every question i ask is part of my strategy?
    i just like to learn shit in general. about everything i do.
    i want to understand how things work i click through every stock and look it over to see what its doing from one penny to the most expensive ones on the market. i want to see how they move and what is different between how they move because different groups of people trade them.


    i noticed something on the charts that i cant explain so i came here to ask whether what i saw was correct or not and all i get is bunch of shit from everyone for asking a basic question.

    i am going over and over the material that you shared with me and really appreciate it. that part is directly related to my trading and im learning alot of good sht from that. this is just a question i was hoping to get answered because i couldnt find any answers on my own


    btw im not offended. i get this on every forum that im on but at the end of the day of one or two people answer i still learned something new.i learned almost everything from forums. despite the junk posts.

    the reason i used those specific shit stocks is because it looks like same algo is running multiple ones.
    i ve seen algos running on many other stocks just never seen one that is running when there is low trading activity.
    dmn was 1.6B volume on that day. and every time the trading activity drops the algo kicks in and runs it down. on one second chart it was very obvious when people stopped and algo started.
    all i asked was if anyone knows what it is maybe can explain what i was looking at because i havent seen that before

    ive seen things you people wouldnt belive....

  7. Could you share a pic showing what observations you see that lead to your question?

    yes i noticed that on DMN ticker first. one second chart shows it more obvious but one minute also shows it a little
    then once dmn got basically ran down another ticker started doing same exact thing.

    i was watching it live trading before close one day and noticed that when trading activity stops the algos kick in and start grinding it. so i started paying attention to that. and it did that repeatedly. trading stops algos kick in. any kind of live trade action stops algos and they resume after trading ends. so i assumed that algos cant compute yet past certain level of activity on the chart.
    im literally just asking out of curiosity because i want to learn as much as i can about everything i do. nothing to do with any strategy or whether i trade on one second chart or not.

    and i was looking through chatrooms and many people were mentioning how algos are used by short to bring the price down ( which i still dont understand how if there is no other input besides algos grinding)


    so after doing some googling i come here to ask, and as always get shit instead for asking questions

    when i was on honda tech and i knew enough about things i answered same exact questions probably like 500 times. never gave anyone attitude because someone else was learning also just like i was.
