it's not that it's rigged or a scam pump simply because of low volume, it's just that people tend to buy gradually while they tend to sell at once. the market is rigged for other reasons lmao
You ever see your port pump and get all excited its from one of your "genius" trades and then get disappointed its just like the top holding in shares you have going up or some shit and your trade is assfucked?
I was a touch early to buy more shiny rocks because the dip kept dipping, but by not going all in at once I could at least get my average down and actually did get some at the day's bottom for once. Now, if it can just get back up to the high of the day sometime this week...
so op was paying for his options trades with margin or he just had margin turned on for instant settlement? dont really understand how op got hisself into this
