IRL, is it possible to cut a deal with a brokerage to pay higher interest for extra margin?
You can start by reading up on Regulation T.IRL, is it possible to cut a deal with a brokerage to pay higher interest for extra margin?
I think they may have given me 17,000 free shares of CGC due to some sort of bug. In my trade history there are 2 transactions of 17,000 shares at the same exact timestamp. I believe that my account was debited for the first lot and not for the 2nd, it's the only way I can make the numbers line up.
17,000 shares adds up to $527,000 which when added to my actual profit seems to account for the difference.
I had a double trade a few weeks ago buying Home depot, not sure I got free shares.
I'd like a measure of how much I flopped compared to others. I may make a graph or something eventually. First I want links indexing all the monthly results that were posted.
Here's a graph; it's probably not what you're looking for.
Last time I looked at Spudd's trades, there was a mis-alignment (trades did not align with holdings). I didn't dig into it because I thought it might correct itself. Up until recently, the only other misalignment I noticed was after Fermion shorted a stock that was later de-listed, and there was no cover transaction. I manually inserted a cover transaction in my local database for that one.Maybe sengsational will create a double trade detector for us. His software is a good reason to continue with Investopedia if there's another contest, especially if we can deal with this bug.
Another rally is coming within the next 24 trading hours. Probably beginning this afternoon. .. .
Bloomberg, December 14, 2018:
"If the Fed predictor proves accurate and Santa Claus skips Wall Street, it’d be the first time since 2010 that the economy grew by 3 percent and the S&P 500 fell at least 10 percent in the same quarter.
"'It is obvious that the economy is not falling apart nearly as quickly as the markets are implying,' said Neil Dutta, head of U.S. economics at Renaissance Macro Research."
I'm looking for a rally after hours or Monday. I'm betting on after hours.
Define 'rally".
We were talking about flopping up and down. I wanted some kind of volatility measurement.
...one that includes more than just me and nunnun.
IDK, I go by feel. If I get to define it, I'll say a percentage gain equaling or surpassing the average highest gain for a session in a 100 day period.
I didn't see a way to figure out if shares were not charged for in all these instances, but certainly it happened in the case of Spudd in December.Maybe sengsational will create a double trade detector for us. His software is a good reason to continue with Investopedia if there's another contest, especially if we can deal with this bug.

Oh why not....a percentage gain equaling or surpassing the average highest gain for a session in a 100 day period.
What does "average highest" mean? I know what those two words mean individually, but I can't imagine a coherent definition of them together.
When does the 100 day period start? Does it include calendar days or just trading days?
What asset or index are you choosing? DJIA, gold, CAT, Brent, the Pound, bitcoin, beaver cheese futures, other?
I suppose there's a pretty good chance of an undefined 'rally' sometime over the next 3.7 days.
Any.
DJIA will be up at least .5% at some point on Monday if there's no major news over the weekend. That's rallyish by my feel system considering how much it was down today. Today's losses should be made up for within next week.
If you think all this prediction blabber detracts from your pitiful performance in this contest, it doesn't!
I'm doing my best to make Boho look good
This table joins tickers together so should add up to the unique tickers that each player has had active. So for each stock a player has touched, this chart puts it in the plus or minus column.
Again, ignoring open positions.

Here's a perspective. Which Market Gurus Get It Right the Most? (full report here).
Where would I fit in? Let's see...
Of the 68 gurus in the study, David Nassar came out ahead with 68.2% accuracy.
In Sengsational's study I'm at 89%:
