RE: 24% down in 5 days...18 Jun 2025 21:46
Oh God, we now live in an age where uninformed idiots type everything into Chat GPT and believe every word it types to be gospel. I urge you to engage your brain and stop being lazy. More specifically, Chat GPT and its siblings are the next wave of propaganda designed to put things into the head of clueless sheep to the advantage of those who seek to control us and remove our freedoms/liberties.
GSCU is main market, I've never said it was AIM. But on the London Stock Exchange there are two platforms, the fully automated SETS system and the mainly market maker led SETSqx platform which is for thinner liquidity. In fact without the market makers on such stocks, there would be no market at all and it would be impossible to buy and sell said stocks. Please do not conflate Main Market/AIM with SETS/SETSqx
Have a look at any of the more liquid shares on the main markets, then examine their trades. You will see a mix of OB and AT printed against them, and sometimes a few others such as off exchange. AT or A trades are those that are settled automatically by the SETS order book. If you have Level 2 you can see very easily which are SETS and which are SETSqx because the former lacks any intraday DMA activity (identified by bids or asks lacking a four letter market maker code)
For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, there is no automation in SETSqx shares outside of the intraday auctions (and technically none inside them either). Any "algo" would have to calculate its strategy then log into a trading platform to place its trade via an intermediary.
Unlike the woke tosspots that programmed the AI search engines, I have 25 years as a professional trader and a deep understanding of the UK stock exchange, its platforms and its rules. Ask away!
