Professor Bierman here… Urban Outfitters (URBN) hit a major “manipulation groove” today. The algos jammed it up! The thing you need to understand about algos is they sniff out trends. Yet they’re programmed with such a confluence of data points… sometimes it’s impossible to know what trend they’re actually following. That’s the case today with URBN…just look at it! The algos just kept walking it up and up and up… while they sucked out any whiff of a two-sided trade. What was the trend they were chasing? Who knows?! There was no news on retail. They just swaggered in, flexed their buying muscles, and squeezed the heck out of it! And a whole bunch of other retail stocks too! One telling hallmark of stealth A.I. activity is the beautiful, curated channel you see above. The algos are NOT about to let price escape that channel. It’s a hijack in progress! When you see it

Professor Bierman here. And boy, Royal Caribbean really felt the gut-punch of the algo army today. Take a look at this chart and I’ll explain what’s happening and how you could have potentially made money. Here’s the deal: Social media giant, Benzinga “red flagged” the stock after spotting some unusual options activity. Some whale traders then took big bearish option positions. And the “heads up” to this action came out early. The fall began right at the opening! 80,000 shares traded in the first one minute, which is enormous for any hour of the day. You can guess what happened next. Algos sniffed out the heavy volume. They picked up on the buzz on social media boards… and they drove the price right through the floorboards.  The PURPLE line you see above is a gravity point. Once price got past that gravity point it was Goodnight! You could have got in and confidently

Professor Bierman here… Advanced Micro Devices… was taken hostage TODAY! Who by? Algos – that’s who! Those wretched little rascals who quietly run today’s stock market, like Al Capone ruled the streets of Chicago. This my friends… is what MONEY looks like in today’s machine-run markets. You had the potential to ride an absolute algo-created water slide… to a half-hour worth of windfalls.  Here’s the blow-by-blow of what happened: A lot of people think AMD shares are under pressure because Nvidia has their number. Nvidia put on a stellar presentation at the GTC Conference that put the screws to AMD and their own attempt at chip domination. In their silicon-powered wisdom, the algos sniffed out the order flow. They saw there were heavy AMD sellers and precious few buyers. So once they’d sniffed out the flow like a rabid hound dog, they piled on to the sell side, because they didn’t see

Professor Bierman here… The market’s going vertical… like Superman late for a dinner date on Krypton. And you can guess who’s to thank… yep, our electronic pals: Wall Street’s algos. So you can’t go long as a position trader because the risk/reward is lethal. And it’s too early to go short. So where can we find opportunities this week? The only option open to us is the intraday action… and it’s presenting us with real opportunity, so pay attention.For example: Big Blue…IBM. Feast your eyes on 2 long hours of uninterrupted algo manipulation. This is the charting equivalent of Victor Webemyama standing in the middle of a Kindergarten class photo.  And if you had 2 hours available to you to fatten your pockets… If you knew what a perfectly manicured A.I. channel looked like…(Hint: it looks exactly like the chart above!) You could just buy and buy and buy, knowing
