You really need to cool it with these manipulation theories because despite you claiming to know what to look for you're just being a screen jockey imagining stories in depth.

The reason i hate these ideas is that they are destructive and muddy the waters for newbies who are most likely to believe it because its a populist easy to swallow "us against them" narrative which they cling to instead of applying stop losses to protect their capital like a normal person.

Most disastrously, I see it used time and time again on down trending stocks by popular posters and they all wind up torched. (everyone holding TON)

It's also a story that plays on peoples vanities as it allows them to never be wrong, just a victim of an unfair system. it also creates the worst possible psychological profile to invest your own money with because you've already accepted you're at a disadvantage fighting criminal elements.

This is a liquid stock played by volume players like yourself as well as professional HFT trading desks so the 'patterns' you believe in are nothing more than Apophenia.

The fact is ASIC have ALL the data like broker ID's , and great algorithms to pick out these plays you think you see in SRT and they regularly DO catch and fine people despite the cynicism here. You dont read about them all because their quite frankly they're pathetic and rarely profit because the market is much bigger than pissant wannabes trying to control it.
