As far as I can tell you can short on SpreadEx. I have an account there and it says 83% of customers with positions in the stock are long.
At Unitedgal….. the notion that market makers are manipulating the sp lower is delusional and mis-leading. They will pitch a price around the orders they have. If it’s going lower that tells you where the balance of flow is. Do you really think that if a market-maker wad sitting on a bunch of buy orders that he would either want to or be allowed to push the sp lower? Utterly ludicrous. If you don’t know about these things then best to keep quiet

Seriously?

I found this link from a while back from researchers at Cambridge University. A similar idea using different technology providing good results on all variants. I would be asking whether the RMS mask also works on all variants?

Was just giving advice believe-it-or-not. Most will not! Although there are a few on here with a bit of a clue. I’ll keep my head below the parapet in future.

And this is directed to you Mr Kainos.

I’m not sure that anything I said on my post should have created you any such anxiety.? After all I’m just supposedly quoting the Peter and Jane Rules of Trading. But there is a chance that I might have spent 22 years in the business. And there is a chance that I might have been a head of trading. And that I might just have been at a bulge-bracket house. Now… as I said before I learnt from the talent above and all around me. I was lucky. How else do you learn? Oh apart from reading Peter and Jane. Seriously if you are not willing to even willing to consider sound, unbiased advice and have to try to question every part of it then hmmm…. that’s mildly embarrassing.

What is wrong with you? Not everybody has an agenda.

Well I have to say you've pretty much got it covered. I can't help you with your question re retail flows in the US unfortunately I've actually no idea. I was involved in bigger markets, Asia and Emerging Europe. The fundamentals of trading remain the same in any stock though. Liquidity/volatility should obviously help determine your position size. AIM traders meeting in the bar and discussing positions? Rightly or wrongly for sure that happens. Unfortunately and usually the retail punters are the last to know/hear things. Obviously there have been some notable exceptions on Reddit in recent times!
Some phrases that have remained true throughout....
"The trend is your friend" and "Only monkey pick bottoms".
I've always been a flow and momentum trader. Much more difficult these days.
Maybe you shouldbe wining and dining your Nomura buddies!!!

Thank you! I ran trading desks for a long time and a lot of my time was spent trying to remove the passion from individual trades. Not easy. But it's really important to try. Stocks trade on both fundamentals and technicals. I might add that yes I do trade a bit from home but without the comforting blanket of the flow and information you get from working at a bulge-bracket house...... it's really difficult!

I look at this share because a friend got puffed in a lot higher. I'm glad I didn't. That aside I look at this Share Chat and it reminds me of kids squabbling in the playground. Here are my thoughts and I welcome your feedback....!!!

1. The share price generally doesn't lie. It is what it is given the information available to the public. None of you know more than anybody else. Why? Because you post it all.
2. The stock has a recent daily average of 20m shares and a longer-term daily average of 40m shs. At 0.85p/share that equates to between £170,000 - £340,000 total turnover in a day!! Miniscule
3. This is currently not on the list of any market-makers or institutions. Quite frankly why would it be?
4. The 5-15% spread in the stock tells you all you need to know. No real liquidity. Market-makers do not want any large position in this type of stock. Positions they are allowed to take are based on delta, volatility and liquidity
5. The notion that there are people paid to influence this share price is preposterous

There are very passionate bull/bears in this stock as there are in most. But buyer beware. It's a penny-stock. It has almost no liquidity. It has disappointed on lots of levels in the recent past. Any perceived good/bad news will have a dramatic effect either way on the share price.

Stocks like this are just a punt. Some you win......This stock should only form a very small proportion of any portfolio. Red/black.
Good luck

The notion that a loss is only a loss once you close a position is totally mis-leading.

Couldn’t sell a mask in a pandemic

Seriously? This is your stock of choice and your trading strategy is based on "patience"?!! Hmm I have to say I personally do not recall reading about that strategy
