Oh poor Tungstenman, did I call you to book today. You certainly fit the description. lol

"The teams of rampers and de-rampers can have an effect on some. Urgency and fear of missing out or losing all are subtly spread by teams. They will insult, bully and discredit opposition."

I agree with a lot of what you say but you post absolutely nothing but ramping hyperbole. A true sign of a pro ramper. Sorry to have caught you out. Did it hurt? Lol.

36800, happy to have gained 18.33% more money today. Happy that there was no need for stop losses.

Just about to set overnight stop losses, just in case the most unlikely scenario plays out and its “a duster” and all my gains are wiped out.

Preservation of capital is key. No money, no skin.

How do you mean tungsten?

My question at 14.07, "When do you think 1.60 will break even and reach 1.75?"

Answered at 15.17.

NICE

Instant 12% loss caused by the spread. When do you think 1.60 will break even and reach 1.75?

Someone paid 1.75, but they only bought 15 shares, lol. Take a look at all the buy trades today under £50 worth. I've never seen so many.

MM's walking up the price?

Indeed Ivor. One would think it would make little difference; however, I was naive enough in the early days of my self-investing, back in the Falklands mania days, to have been taken in myself before realising the blatantly obvious.

The teams of rampers and de-rampers can have an effect on some. Urgency and fear of missing out or losing all are subtly spread by teams. They will insult, bully and discredit opposition. Often, the teams will ramp it up, then another team in the same "office" will talk it down. It's a sad way to rip people off, but they won't get caught, and they couldn’t give a monkey's uncle about anything but the money they take from the innocent newcomers. Only a few are taken in, but it doesn't take many poor souls to take easy money from.

Investing/Trading/Money brings with it a lot of emotion, and that's what the professionals play on. People want someone else to “help” them, to guide them, someone they think more knowledgeable. People are easily led by strong voices.

Hi Alan, I am trying to be fair. I am bullish, I am heavily invested. I am a realist and am only pointing out what no-one else is pointing out.

The drill results could go either way, most likely in our favour, but a chance of one or two being "dusters" if it's the next one, then this will plummet. It's obvious it's being traded. Today's rise will be traded.

If anyone thinks it's only honest long-term investors posting here, then think again. People with thousands of posts are here influencing on an hourly basis and full-time. Why else would they post? Is it to share their expert knowledge, lol, obviously not, as many seem to be a bit ignorant of how it works, or more likely just busy discrediting opposition and ramping for their own agenda.

If it's good news, then upwards and onwards and no need to protect my gains with a stop loss, this time.

I am being fair, I am the only one not excessively ramping

Warrie, a poor loser. Thanks for filtering me, you won't be wasting my time anymore. I was only trying to educate you, and prevent you from twisting the truth to meet your own agenda.

If you're using a broker, they CAN'T see them, they can only guess where they would be using technical indicators etc. If you set your stop loss at the usual points, resistance or support then you may get stopped out. Mine are well below that point and I will still make 45% profit. I am not greedy or ever hopeful of a 10x bagger.

45% profit in 2 weeks is not bad. However, they are only going to be triggered by bad news. A fast drop will happen, followed by a very slow climb, waiting for the next result, but without the conviction that good news is inevitable. Plenty of time to enjoy my gain and get back in if I think its worth it.

Of course, if you don't have the cushion of being well in profit like me, then you can't set a "far off" stop loss, and if it crashes, you will have to fight your emotions and ponder your trigger finger action. Investors who make decisions in advance are considerably more successful than those who trade on emotion.

Well, that RNS didn't go down well, did it? Any lower and it will be time for me to buy a few more to average down.

In the meantime, DYOR on SML Strategic Minerals

Dear ChatGPT "Can market makers see stop losses?"

Market makers (the liquidity providers your broker deals with) generally cannot directly see individual client stop orders — unless the broker itself is the market maker.

If you’re a retail trader using a regular broker (like MetaTrader, Thinkorswim, Interactive Brokers, etc.), your stop-loss orders are stored on your broker’s servers until they’re triggered.

Only your broker can see them.

So Warrie, the M/Ms are going to bring the market down by 20%, that's the whole SML market, 30,000,000 avg trades a day just to get my shares, when my S/L is for a piddling amount. 20% fall just because a little private investor said on a Bulletin board they had set a S/L somewhere in the region of 20%. Yhea right!

Bluegrass, I set a S/L at 20% below and wait for the fall, hoover up shares down to 18% and then cancel my S/L at 19%. Easy money, I dont know why everyone is not doing it, lol

Chaps, its obviously so easy to trick the M/Ms because they can see your personal order book. Just manipulate them and cancel just before execution.

This is not investment advice. DYOR.LOL.

Great debate though, whilst we wait for the very next RNS, the one that will move the SP dramatically either way.

Hi bluegrass, yes I did say if news is released, the indicators go out the window.

Like you, I follow the market very closely each and every day. How would you feel if there is a bad new RNS 7am Monday morning, and you can not sell into the massive fall at 8am because everyone else is? Perhaps you get delayed on the school run, your internet goes down or you just get chatting to the postman, you know as well as me that a fall on bad news is rapid.

Don't get me wrong, I am very bullish on SML, but I am a realist; everyone thinks every drill hole is going to be like the one a couple of weeks ago, (the only result so far), a fantastic drill result. Hopefully, they will be, but there is a chance they won't all be.

M/Ms and manipulators will have the money of the overconfident "I can't lose here" brigade. (I'm not saying you're one bluegrass). Setting goals and limits in advance takes out the human emotions that mess up your trading thoughts in the heat of the moment.

It's going to be a fascinating week, if it all goes wrong I'm still going to be quids in, even if I'm on the toilet when it happens.

Good luck with your investment strategies, everyone.

"Set your stop losses today!" Do you work for the mm's by any chance?

NO.

But I am up 50%. If bad news is delivered, the SP will plummet; nothing to do with MM's seeing my stop losses.

Its safe to set several S/L. for downward movement. Don't choose something silly, like only 10% on such a volatile share. But starting at 20% its highly unlikely market makers can manipulate a drop that big on no news with such a positive outlook. But on bad news, it will drop 20% or more, and I intend to keep my gains to buy back in at a lower, IF the worst comes to the worst. I am hoping for only good news, or good news that may follow bad.

Preservation of capital gained should be everyone's aim. Once you've lost it all, you've got nothing left to fight back with. What the M/Ms and manipulators want is your money, not your shares. Don't be greedy as you will always be hoping there's more around the corner, like many RKH holders were and failed to sell at £4 only to see a drop to 40p and a wait of 10 years getting nowhere (as yet).

It all depends on where you are now in the profit zone. But frankly, I don't care what you do its your money to lose. We all learn from our mistakes.

Of course, when news is issued, the below technicals will be blown out of the water, one direction or the other, depending upon good or bad news.

Set your stop losses today!

Strategic Minerals Plc finds support from accumulated volume at 1.45p and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ 1.45p, some 0.0500p (3.33%) from the current price of 1.50p, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

"The stock has broken the very wide and strong rising the short-term trend up and an even stronger rate of rising is indicated. For any reaction back there will now be support on the roof on the current trend broken at 1.22p, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory 1.60p will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

The Strategic Minerals Plc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at 1.21p and 0.668p. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, and so far it has risen 100.00%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect Strategic Minerals Plc to open at 1.47p, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 1.40p and 1.60p, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-0.203p (+/-14.52%) up or down from last closing price. "

If you add an average of 1% a day to 1.5 for 55 days, the final value would be approximately 2.61

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
