I noticed that Kris Verma had two custom columns in his TradeIdeas window here:
I appealed to members of my Discord chat for the custom code that creates them and “Stonaphile” came through. Thanks, Stonaphile!
This is for the fade from the pre-market high percentage:
([BelowHighPre]/([Price]+[BelowHighPre]))*100
And this is for the fade from the regular trading hours high percentage:
([BelowHigh]/([Price]+[BelowHigh]))*100
Let me know if you have any trouble implementing it…
Sideline Sinology, by Peter Hessler
I was too old for this. By the summer of 2021, I had had enough of conversations, public or private, about my possible prejudices, fears, visa status, perceived espionage activities, understanding of Karl Marx, and supposed similarities with various apologists for various atrocities throughout modern history.
Interesting piece. I’m glad we got out of Chynar when we did (July 2015). We lived there during a golden age, in hindsight, before the rise of the New Authoritarianism, a.k.a., Mao With Money.
This nano float thing dinged in RTH (regular trading hours) below $2 so I shorted it, then it went up 360% and I lost $111,470 (plus borrow fees), so I got angry and revenge re-shorted it with three times as much size, just like any pro trader would do, then I scared myself with my position size, which was truly stupid, and covered a lot of it so I wasn’t so uncomfortable, but of course it went straight down and I should have held onto all of it, but it’s one mistake after another when you’re trading on pure emotion, which is how every true pro trades. I ended up making half the loss back on my reasonably sized short from the $5s.
There were a lot of plays today, so I had enough other profitable trades for once to offset all of the mega loss (unlike yesterday where my mega loss in MIRA was NOT offset at all) and actually make money on the day. The whole point of blind shorting is taking advantage of the law of large numbers. If I had somehow avoided the SLRX squeeze, it would have been a big day, but I didn’t so it wasn’t.
There were 17 RTH dings for me today to short, and my buddies told me to start shorting cheapies, which I never do, but that would have been another five winners today if I had, so I’ll start shorting cheapies tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Closed at $0.69 on Friday which means 10 cent halt band hell today… woe to those who shorted the RTH (regular trading hours) ding, double trouble if you shorted the PM (pre-market) ding. 600% mover means no one spared. Hard not to get ZAPPed. Nasty loss.
I dig it…

Fraud on the Social Media Market, by Sue S. Guan
By ruling that the victim must have directly surrendered property to the fraudster, any investor who purchased stock in the stock markets on the basis of a fraudster’s misinformation cannot recover. This ignores longstanding tenets of economic theory and contradicts established securities law doctrine. Further, because the structural reality of today’s markets means that nearly every pump and dump using social media will involve investors purchasing stock on the stock market, the ruling would effectively immunize nearly all fraud perpetrated on social media.
SEC Charges Eight Social Media Influencers in $100 Million Stock Manipulation Scheme Promoted on Discord and Twitter, Washington D.C., Dec. 14, 2022
United States of America versus Edward Constantinescu, et al.
Thus, the scheme did not deprive investors of their money or property through any misrepresentation; the misrepresentations deprived them only of accurate information necessary to make discretionary economic decisions.
[Laughable ruling, Texas of course, geez….]
