Algos, tools and research. Not selling any services, be cautious of potential scams.

@g_shullenberger Try using Claude. It's actually pretty smart, unlike some of the stuff you read on X sometimes.

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

Given the weird locate pricing we've been seeing lately, make sure you do this in DAS:

Right click in the Short Locate window → Config

Set Single Locate Max Cost ($) and Max Total Locate Cost Per Symbol

These settings prevent you from accidentally overpaying for locates, whether manually or through the DAS API.

@amberXBT people say they got some early

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

Nobody on X shorted $NXXT, but everyone shorted ethereum:0x64aa3364f17a4d01c6f1751fd97c2bd3d7e7f1d5 ...

Guess I should post my ethereum:0x64aa3364f17a4d01c6f1751fd97c2bd3d7e7f1d5 too!

-900%, -800%, +72%, -1200% not a great business model.

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@cobra_trading @0xNeg but someone could still misclick or accidentally submit an erroneous order through the API

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@cobra_trading @0xNeg Maybe cap locate prices at 30% of the stock price in your system? Shouldn’t be too difficult to implement.

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@Egalmar1 hard to come up with a conspiracy theory to explain why it’s quoted like that

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

Dear brokers, why would you quote locate prices like this?

$59 to locate a $3.50 stock…

Not a good look at all.

[David Hanlin @thelaptoplegend]

Why yes sir, don't mind if I do $NXXT

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

Some nice trades in memory/neoclouds today.

Glad to see things are staying active outside of Nolocatestan.

$SNDK $MU

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@LionTurtle3 After $OMH comes $NXXT ?

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@amberXBT @TheoryTrading Stop leaking the edge, buddy. Leave some money for us.

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@amberXBT @TheoryTrading they must be using some cutting-edge discounted future cash flow fair price model for locates. Just price them based on the future price you’ll be shorting into your account.

e.g. at $30 the locate fee is barely over 10%. Pretty much the bare minimum these days.

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@Fearless_Trades and they’ll never compensate you for it, those prices are quoted in the hope that you misclick

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@TheoryTrading Adapt your math bro. Just pay whatever they ask for locates, post your wins on X, and collect the likes.

You’re happy, your broker’s happy, buys another lake house. Everybody wins!

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@gnezdilov another 1000% and i can locate that

[small_caps_automated @SmallCapSmarts]

@xavier_comas yeah, one positive is that sometimes there are no locates for the squeezers either.
