They all do it … and I mean ALL … every brokerage house LPS [liquidity
providers] are scumbag thieves and crooks, and depending on the market
you trade, the real question is, “do they steal pennies or dollars” from you?
It’s a little different in crypto, and in today’s blog my intent is not to bash IQCENT,
it’s to make you aware of how their crypto LP [Thompson Reuters] tries to cheat
you in their “Scumbaggery & Fuckery” role … you have to know this or you’re
gonna get gutted like a fish for dinner! … directly below, from yesterday, a
screenshot of a trade I made when their LP held the bid down while
simultaneously raising the offer, only to have seconds later the platform
“whitewash” the whole thing and make you think there’s a 1 penny spread
… and when you throw in the distinct probability that management of IQCENT
gets part of this “slippage vig”, now you know how they make their money in
crypto … they make it from unsuspecting dumbass traders!
The green dot on the left is my liquidation trade from being long … while
Phemex is rising in price, IQCENT keeps the bid stagnant, but raises the offer
… finally when they “adjust” the bid, I’m right there AT THAT INSTANT
liquidating … and that’s the green dot … if it was a red dot, the trade would
have been a loser … YOU HAVE TO BEWARE OF FALLING INTO THIS
SCUMBAG LP TRAP!
I didn’t realize yesterday, that there’s a “bigly & yuge” OPEC meeting tomorrow
concerning production quotas … I came into today “thinking” WTI oil would be
choppy & nondescript … it gets monkey hammered, followed by a bottom from
which we get a buy signal, and then proceeds to go straight up for hours
… straight down / straight up … right, good “thinkin’ there Chump!” … lesson
learned in oil … treat it as a crypto pair and go from there, cuz all of your
“thinkin’” will only lead to confusion … No trade in oil today, simply cuz I
missed the signal and fucked up … no sugar coating this … won’t happen again.
Over in crypto, a bullshit day in ETHUSDT, with about a $40 range, but for the
most part it’s been only about $20, as it yo-yos around the 2020 - 2040 area
… trips multiple times to both sides of that, which aided in getting buy signals
… “The Syndicate” doing a few trades, but not much to do with discounts being
few and far between … still, the trades were there … UP APPROXIMATELY 0.2%
on light volumes … quite frankly, I’m still steaming over the oil trade I missed
… onto tomorrow and OPEC, plus whatever crypto throws at us.
… OUTTA HERE … “The future’s so bright I need 2 pairs of sunglasses 😎😎,
and my own Brinks armored truck” 💓!! … Onward & Upward!!
