The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

Trying to learn this world, what does this mean? I know what long and short positions are, but what this means as a statement about the broader market is lost on me.

Means nothing, within a week it’s likely to reverse

Most of this reaction is high speed AI trading platforms that follow news headlines. The retail investor is still holding and investing weekly, biweekly, and monthly

any thoughts MSTY with the switch to weekly distributions?

I’m at a loss currently and not sure if it has the ability to get me back even or positive.

When an investor opens a leveraged long position, they are betting that the price of an asset will increase using borrowed funds

A liquidation is the forced closure of this position by an exchange when the trader can no longer support their trade with enough collateral. The process is a critical risk-management tool designed to prevent traders from incurring losses that exceed their initial investment.

I took it on the chin in meta,tsm,amzn, goog, gs, etc but have dry powder and will be DCA’ing some back into the quality names.

Meanwhile in crypto:

@LookOnChain noted in a post on X: "More than 1,000 wallets on Hyperliquid were completely wiped out in the market crash — losing everything.

"In total, 6,300+ wallets are in the red, with combined losses exceeding $1.23B.

205 wallets lost over $1M

1,070+ wallets lost over $100K"

Some of the charts I’ve seen show three different flush outs catching a lot of people. Playing perps can be very dangerous.

I do not claim to have legit info on crypto but Some of the stories coming out are just crazy:

Thousands of people wiped out and committing suicide?

A couple accounts shorting crypto right before the drop making millions?

Exchanges not letting people sell their crypto due to servers being overwhelmed?

Monday will be interesting

...Exchanges not letting people sell their crypto due to servers being overwhelmed?...

And yet the crypto fanbois somehow think this is better than fiat currency, soon to be digital.

P.S. I have BTC proxies so maybe I'm criticizing myself, but I've viewed this access issue as on of the few cons to any crypto. If you can't hold it, you don't own it.

That's a problem with the exchanges, not crypto. You most likely do not even hold the asset on the exchange, just an IOU.

Yes and no. Can you hold a BTC in your hand like you can hold an toz. of Au?

How would I access/use BTC w/o an exchange, network, etc.? I'm asking as I have no idea.
