Copy trading on GMGN.ai doesn't actually work.
Main Post:
Added wallet to copy trade. Wallet starts trading, nothing happens on my GMGN wallet. Does it take ages to update? Are transactions held on chain? Anyone know how this works?
Top Comment: Please use getodinbot.com for copy trading if you don’t want to get farmed. It does not copy honey pot tokens, you can turn off pump.fun trades and set limits for each wallet you are copying.
day trading strategies that actually work (unlike the crap fake gurus sell you)
Main Post:
people keep asking for strategies. here’s a list.
some I've used myself and some come from books in the market wizards series and al brooks/raschke/hougaard/etc. not financial advice—your trades, your risk. read it, steal it, print money.
EDIT: I do not "know" all of these work. this is more or less an easily accessible list. it you as a trader that makes them work or not.
1. ride the trend. don’t fight it.
- EMA/momentum cross – forget the usual 9/21 BS. use 100 EMA on the 1H. now trade only in that direction on the 1-min or 5-min. high-timeframe bias is king.
- VWAP bounce (the smart way) – don’t buy the first touch. that’s for suckers. wait for a long wick, high volume, no follow-through. that’s when smart money steps in.
- first hour trend lock – whatever the stock does in the first 30-60 min, stick with it. don’t get cute. trend is set, don’t countertrade.
2. mean reversion. buy panic, sell euphoria.
- "broken parabolic" short – stock just printed 5+ straight green 1-min candles? first red engulfing candle = short. gravity is undefeated.
- "fake halt" trap – stock spikes like it’ll halt. then... no halt. that’s a rug pull. short immediately.
- RSI exhaustion (the real way) – if RSI hits 90+ (or sub-10) and hasn’t pulled back... first 2-min reversal candle = go. this is the rubber band setup.
3. liquidity traps. where real money is hiding.
- stop-loss hunting reversal – where does retail hide stops? previous day high/low. market makes a fake move past it, then reverses hard. trade against the dumb money.
- market maker refill zones – ever see a stock grind slow, then a sudden volume spike with no movement? big player filling orders. trade with it, not against it.
- dark pool footprints – if big money is buying/selling on dark pools, the real move is coming. track these levels.
4. scalping. quick hits, no hesitation.
- "1-min rip & dip" – first 1-min candle breaks premarket high? but next candle dips first, then reclaims? that’s a long.
- big bid scalping – huge hidden bid shows up on Level 2? buy just in front, scalp the bounce. works best in low float trash stocks.
- options chain spoofing – don’t just watch stock level 2. watch the option chain. big calls bought at the ask? stock about to move.
5. trading the reaction, not the news.
- "FOMC fade" – first big move after Fed minutes? usually fake. let the dumb money push it, then fade it.
- earnings overreaction reversal – stock rips or tanks HARD in first 5 min after earnings? 80% chance it fades back. traders overreact first, institutions clean up later.
- merger arbitrage scalp – buyout announced at $50/share? if it trades above $50, that’s a free short. arbitrage funds won’t let it stay there.
6. psychological warfare. market is a casino, play the house.
- "bagholder bounce" – stock gaps down -20%+? wait for a flush, then long the first real bounce. bagholders desperate to escape.
- retail fakeouts – textbook bull flag? yeah, market makers see it too. expect a fake breakdown first, then the real move.
- "9:45 AM reversal" – retail trades like morons for the first 15 min. 9:45 is when the reversal usually hits. trade accordingly.
7. using option data to predict stocks.
- gamma squeeze ignition – sudden massive OTM call buying? market makers need to hedge. stock is about to rip.
- "max pain" friday fade – options expire where they hurt the most traders. stocks gravitate to max pain. free money for mean reversion traders.
- open interest fakeouts – stock breaks a huge OI strike? first move is usually fake. market makers need to wipe out retail before letting it go.
8. after-hours & premarket plays.
- premarket VWAP reclaim – dips under VWAP premarket, then reclaims with volume? that’s a long. algo fuel.
- after-hours liquidity trap – stock pumps in after-hours, but volume disappears? that’s a trap. fade it.
- closing bell "liquidity grab" – stock sells off into close, then rips last 1-2 min? that’s smart money grabbing shares before tomorrow’s move.
final thoughts.
if you’re out here drawing fair value gaps and waiting for "the algorithm" to bless your trade in 2025, please, for the love of god, close your brokerage account and go touch some grass.
Top Comment: Anyone who reads this, please state the strategy mentioned here, that you are familiar profitable with. Lots of what is mentioned here, is nothing I am using myself nor what I am really familiar with, so I am curious, how far spread these strategies/setups are and what the outcome is/was for users of these strategies.

Awakened poe trade in Poe2 Dev answer
Main Post:
"I'm evaluating the decision to support poe2 and leaning towards NOT to. I think it's better to pass the torch to those who are passionate about poe2 and actually play it, lol. 🤔 While I will continue to work on poe1.
p.s. It's not THAT hard to add support, it's hard to support both games at once."

POE 2 Trade Guide
Main Post:
Since poe has many new players, more and more people reaching endgame and not everyone knows how to trade effectively in this game, so I made a short guide of the basics.
On poe's official site there is a full trade section where you can filter what kind of item you are looking for:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard
(if you are playing on hardcore the URL has to end with /Hardcore instead of /Standard)
How to use it?
First of all you need to have a pathofexile.com account. If you have the game on Steam for example you have to connect your poe account to your steam account in the account settings on the main site: Home/My Account/Manage Account and on the bottom under the "Secondary Login" part you will see platforms: Steam, Epic Games, Sony, Microsoft.
Filtering on item is quite simple, you can filter for rarity, item type, item attributes, etc. I'm not going to explain it more as it speaks for itself.
How to buy?
On the rigth side you can find a "Direct Whisper" button. Once you press it you will see in the game that you sent an automated whisper message to the seller with all the details. If the seller is not afk they will invite you to a party, then usually the buyer goes to the seller's hideout (right click on party frame of the player and "Visit Hideout"), then trade the idem.
If none of you have hideout then just figure out a place where to trade, Normal Act 1 town is probably the once place that everyone has unlocked all the time. If you are already at the same zone but can't see eachother then just leave to another place and re-enter the town and it will place you to the same zone as the other placer.
How to sell?
Bit trickier than buying. You need to have a Premium Stash Tab which you can buy in the ingame Shop (Shop/Stash Tabs/Premium Stash Tab). It costs 30 points if I remember correctly.
Once you have the Premium Stash Tab in your stash you have to right click on Tab's name on the top. You can give it a unique name, color, but the rest should look like this:
You need to tick in the Public button and set it to "Each Item Individually Prices". Then if you put an item in this Tab you can right click the item and it will open a small panel. Select "Exact Price" select currency type (usually Exalted Orb) and select amount.
To figure out what should be the price try to find a similar item on the trade site and that should give you a rough idea.
Once you have it set your item will be automatically uploaded on the trade site probably under a minute. If you get an automated looking whisper that I mentioned earlier it means someone is trying to buy your item. So invite them to party and trade.
Other Notes
Trade price in POE2 is usually set in Exalted Orbs because it is valuable enough but still common enough to have at least a few of them.
It can happen one day something will cost 5 Exalted Orbs and then few days later it will be 10. It's because trade in poe2 is ever inflating. The more people reached endgame the more people will have more Exalted Orbs which means the value is inflated. But don't worry, that is why new leagues are good because the economy resets too.
Top Comment: To add on and reiterate, the normal etiquette is for the buyer to go to the seller, and for the seller to be the one who initiates the trade request. Some people are super particular about this whole thing for whatever reason too.
What does really work in FX ?
Main Post:
I am a full-time trader since past 4 years I trade in Indian markets. I recently started to look into forex and I find it alot of things like smart money and ICT and people naming basic Fibonacci retracements equilibrium and support zones order blocks and what not. I really want to learn to be a profitable trader in forex. My strength is I am a disciplined trader and I barely over trade since in doing it full-time for a while now. But I'm unable to device a stretegy. There are too many things thrown all at once.. I'm trading on a demo currently and want to get familiar using mt5 as it is a new platform to me and see how things go. If you guys can help me to what to do or point me to a right direction if you've made it to being a consistently profitable trader. I know profitable folks don't go on answering questions but please I won't take a lot of your time. 🙂

My advice is that when you see terms like ICT, SMC, FVG, animal soups, and other such ridiculous names...run away as fast as possible.
