Hi all, just received a very disturbing email from one of Brainchip's partners NVISO regarding investments made in the company recently. Those who are affected kindly PM me thanks.
Care to be more specific?

Yeah. What is the point of buying 200,000 shares in multiple orders of 117 each time instead of just buying all 200,000 in one go?
Don't quite get what this achieves aside from clogging up the system?
Is it some kind of denial of service attack designed to stop anyone else's more realistic order being processed?
So, this buys them time to set up/adjust their buying/selling program?
I would have thought anyone else's order placed at the same time would just go through anyway, unless the organisation doing this gets some sort of priority execution (in exchange for providing liquidity......just where have I heard that phrase before???), which wouldn't surprise me. 🤣
Might just've answered my own question......Bastardo's 🤣
They have to pay transaction fees for 118.

Excerpt.


For instance, if an institutional trader has to place an order for 1,00,000 shares, which can unduly affect the market, he can set up an algorithmic-trading instruction to execute 1,000 shares out every 15 seconds. This way, he gradually loads up orders in the market without unduly affecting the market prices.

........................................So, because the institutional trader games the process they avoid the usual consequential repercussions of trading at volume that retail would suffer.
And, as the institutional trader is paying nil or a greatly reduced rate of brokerage on each trade, they have a distinct financial advantage over the average retail schmuk who also cannot get actionable data and react with the speed required to be competitive.

It is a rigged system heavily weighted against the average retail investor/trader.

Hopefully by holding until Brainchip realises multi bag success and/or begins paying dividends we won't have to rely on the crumbs left for the occasional retail success.

So speaking of shorts, I still can't quite get my head around the whole process. Are institution's lending shares to shorters. The shorters then sell those shares and hope that in the process of selling the borrowerd shares they spook the market so the price drops and they then buy back in and pass the shares back to the institutions having made a profit. If that is the case and the institutions are actually scooping up shares during this process (as their holdings are increasing) then the price is probably not dropping as much as the shorters would like or they could be preventing them from buying back in. Sorry that probably sounds very stupid. Am I missing something or everything!!! 🤪

Also from the link.

There are some with deep pockets outside of the Instos, who can play a similar game.

My uneducated guess would possibly also include syndicate / groups shorters or similar.

"Apart from institutional traders, big retail, high-frequency traders use algorithmic trading to automate their trading process. It helps them to speed up the execution of trades, as they make many trades per day.

Algorithmic trading technology is not easy to afford, which is why it is mostly employed by institutional traders. But that trend is changing now as coding trading algorithms is becoming increasingly democratized. Trading platforms are making the coding languages easier, such that a retail trader can learn them and code their strategies themselves. Moreover, it is becoming easy to find freelance programmers that will code good algos for a few thousand bucks."

Gave me a head ace just reading it mate, just best not to think about it anymore, they control the share price till we get revenue in or a substantial contract/announcement, thats how I’m looking at it from now on. What a shame. 🤬 it is what it is and happens to most stocks, hope my very last top up gets hit. Good day all!

Add to that the brokerage fee per trade for professionals are different or non existent for higher frequency trading.. Vs a retail client may be paying a set % and commision fee…

Then there’s your iceberg orders, automatic stops, trailing, buy & sell stops, quick trades, DMA CFDs to match market prices and on and on and on.. Not to mention derivatives and options..

Another example is if you can automate something by buying an algo to perform a task, then you don’t have to sit at the screen watching constantly what’s happening..

A trader I know has paid for an algo for futures trading overnight which enables him to execute his plan accurately when he can’t be awake to adjust it manually..

Say a set trade is executed at 3am, and his initial target is reached at 3:30am, it is in his plan to adjust his stop loss to breakeven on the trade. If you’re asleep you can’t do that, but you can buy an algo that does that automatically for you..

It may be costly but if you’re turning over a million in profit a year then paying a fee for an algo for a few grand is well worth the price.

This stuff will be happening whether BRN is in the ASX 20 or the ASX 200 or a penny dreadful..

Revenue, earnings and growth year on year is all that matters when it comes to share performance over time.. Everything else is noise.. If BRN earns $1.3billion in earnings in FY2029, there’s nothing that short selling can do to keep the price below $50.

Hi @Rach2512

suggest watch ‘GAMESTOCK, Eat the rich’ on NETFLIX.
It explains shorting on there in general terms.

It‘s an eye opener on how corrupt the market is!
