this is why *imo* if one understands the cycle of money in play .. one can plan accordingly because the *market* always repeats their patterns ..

which is why retail educating themselves is the best deterrent to non retails' efforts

only those who have brokers' licenses can offer financial advice per SEC regs
(which btw rules out about 99% of vehicle of choice multi/s posting *advice*) ..

i have learned over the past few years .. based on my own DD of *CEs'* efforts
.. and i'm speaking only for myself specific to our SDA 401k (self directed acct ..
no taxes re: buys/sells or time lines) to almost always have GTCs
for a portion % of my core holdings .. to keep it simple with 12,500 shares
of XXXX held .. I will set a GTC for a sell (ask) and a GTC for a buy (bid)
on approx 20% .. or 2500 out of 12500 .. i will usually set GTCs at staggered
price points .. because not only am i no chartist .. but i find it almost impossible
to know the exact top and bottom *market* does each day .. so while some
may say .. a 500 sell @ 8.00 left money on the table for a day's high of 8.30
what i saw via RT l2 was CEs' *clamp* kick in just above that price point

on XXXX .. and on above avg volume .. after the PPS take up .. that was totally visible
i sold 2 GTCs @ 7.75 and @ 8.00 for a visible *clamp* via RT l2
@ approx 8.20 to reset next round down on XXXX

i have 2 GTCs .. to buy XXXX .. one of which may have hit today/tomorrow .. @ 6.50
and another at 5.75 ..

what i won't do (provided my caveats continue to be met by mgmt)
is ever sell my core holding/s of any stock .. CTIX included

CEs' *NEED* legit CTIX shares .. that hasn't changed in 2 years

if one knows how the shits play the *game* .. one can always plan accordingly

best to all CTIX investors
