I covered my last shares today at $0.87 from $1.27
Made around $1200.00, not bad my small account

[...] plethora of pump and dumps recently and me scalping TimAlerts for quick profits (in fact, my recent trade of RODM nearly paid for the TimAlerts lifetime subscription that I bought a year ago). I thank Tim for all [...]

You win the decorative plastic duck! Excellent. Google Keyne’s beauty contest metaphor for the stock market.

It’s not really how you think the news is, it’s how everybody else in the trading world thinks it is. That’s the problem, trying to figure that out.

if you are worried about market impact then iceberg orders are not the way to go anymore. you should try using Credit Suisse’s cross finder, it scans all the hidden liquidity pools whilst pegging your order to the bid (passive) or the the midpoint of the bid and offer (neutral) or the bid all the way down to the offer (aggressive). you often get a price improvement with it due to the hidden tranactions as well. and you are completely hidden from the market! you will not get a rebate for providing liquidity though, all orders cost 0.0025 a share.
