For months I was thinking ahead going into next year how far could I take the goal $10K now close to $15K and getting to $25K so I could post different strategies and stock play so followers no longer have to worry about the PDT rule. From the beginning this was my train of thought. My challenge was to see if $2K to $10K could be accomplished or not, also if it would be a fluke or not. Now what I concluded today it was not it was a don't care but not really a don't care attitude because its not my main account. Fast forward to today. Which brings me to this I was hanging out with my coffee buddies as usual this morning and a lady friend(this is a 1st) one of my buddies who works for a brokerage firm . We usually chit chat about the week also f**k ups and they had a good laugh at 1 of my trades bearing in mind it was a winning trade. I mentioned that I posted the said trade and she said "you are front running which is not good" she and I then had a discussion about it, long story short I'm thinking of shutting this down. I'm open to responses since I don't believe I am.
I've enjoyed reading this thread, but I haven't acted on anything you posted in it. Based on my understanding of "front running", there is no way you are doing that. Sometimes sharing trade information publicly can help traders who do it. When I was an active trader in the past, it was a common practice to share information about our trading plans - it still is, for those who day trade and swing trade. Day traders who hang out in chat rooms by the dozens or hundreds can actually have an effect on pricing - if 20 or 30 traders are all waiting for a trigger event, move or price to 'buy in', then when that trigger occurs - boom, the price goes up because a couple of dozen or more traders are pursuing the same strategy at the same time. There is nothing illegal about this UNLESS it can be proven that they colluded to artificially manipulate the price of a given security - a fairly high bar, also such occurrences are difficult to identify and more difficult to enforce. The SEC has better and more important things to do - which is not to say they are very good at those, either. Such activity is not illegal the vast majority of the time, anyway, so it's a moot point. Do whatever you like, but with all due respect I doubt that it will make much difference, regardless of your decision. That said, I have enjoyed the thread. Thanks for sharing it so far, and best wishes for your continued success. One thing that I confess I particularly appreciate is that you've disproven the assertion of many here who say "it's NOT POSSIBLE to beat the S&P 500!" Not likely for most of us, and most people LOSE money trying, but the same thing can be said of starting a small business, becoming a successful actor or artist or sports figure, and many more things that SOME PEOPLE can do, but most can't.
I do appreciate your input, I don't do chat rooms so I'm not worried about that, mind you I did do HSM chat room way back. I do agree with your take on the SEC, once in awhile they go after some small guy and when they do go after the big guns nobody goes to jail just a fine. Maybe she was warning, misunderstood or just looking out to make sure we as a group wasn't into some bs, a well all the trades are transparent so we move.
