Except I'm not a typical broker's rep as I was an independent Option MM first for 25 years so I have the perspective from both sides and I never make comments I do not feel strongly about to just promote business at Lightspeed. I'm also here to help and educate where I can.
Talk about day trading. Manipulators (if there are) are our friends and not a nuisance. They provide trading opportunities. So be thankful to them. Most of the time, the market moves in a choppy, messy manner. This is the time to avoid trading as it is very difficult to profit from such a market. Occasionally the market moves in a nice smooth decisive manner. That is the time to trade heavily. eg If you try to day trade ES, NQ, YM last Friday, most likely you would be losing $$$. If the market moves in a nice smooth decisive manner most of the time, then almost everyone will reach financial freedom very soon.
Someone should ring up the exchange and tell them to kick the es bot in the ass stuck in loop back mode Time is money RN
