Interesting case you post Barney.
Makes me think there are ways to code trade's that appear to be conditional, but use different methods.
Would love to see the tick data/ course of trades for the day in question. Love a good mystery!
I can understand a centre point trade starting below your sell point, then conditionally bringing the price to your sell point, which would bypass you being 1st in line.
How the price got above your sell point without taking any from your lot is bizarre though.... that would go against all the rules one would think?
Am thinking that we just don't see enough of the decimal places to have any chance to determine what exactly happened...
EG; the trade I disclosed above,
Purchased at one price, 0.0065, no averaging.
The executed orders show executed at 0.006 (1 decimal dropped, no rounding),
the email text for trade/ tax invoice shows 0.007 (decimal dropped and rounded),
the tax invoice shows the true story,
Purchased at 0.00650, no average, single price.
Considering my purchase was ~7% cheaper than what I expected, this "dark arts" area has considerably sparked my interest, but obviously dealing with penny stocks is inherently risky, but apparently potentially profitable
if the stability can be managed and exploited...
Wouldn't be surprised to find a SPP offer soon. The cash bleed situation calls for it.
@Skate , my first purchase was on Nov 12. on a PB.
To me, the signs of the heartbeat was returning, trend reversal, volume picking up.
All green at this point on your charts.
It broke out around 2 weeks later.
Took profit too early, timing is still a work in progress.
(Am wondering if my methods are comparable to the "pocket pivot's" method?) Research required on my part though. Cheers.
