Not trying to be annoying, but that V machine is too strong today. When you think it's going lower they just spike it in your face. The days where this can make an easy direction move lower are over and at any moment it just makes this crazy spike and your short asperations are blown up in seconds
Aloha @v-shape-0DTE, Would it be possible for you to briefly share what you look for with regards to algo manipulation?
what's what? The purple circle? Just the same circle I drew at the market open which is where I figured we'd get too on my initial long (that stopped me out for BE after offering me +18) Was just celebrating that it eventually got there and even reacted off of it. More luck than judgement. LF has a similar area I think. For me it was based on just having a bullish bias at the open and there was a busy area pre market with a little volume shelf that I figured would maybe get tested again and possibly react off of. (i'm sure LF would have had a very different reason) I assume that's what you were asking , anyway! lol
