Arrayfunction OP : Unfortunate Update: On July 20 2024, Moomoo staff decided (for unclear reasons) to escalate what had been me voluntarily leaving the platform while helping others avoid repeating my mistake to a (albeit brief) attempt at retaliation / extortion.
TL;DR: Moomoo tried to implement cold call debt collection company tactics, including harassment and an implied threat to refuse to allow withdrawal of legally settled cash. Be even more careful.
I will include confirmatory screenshots below. I live in a US state where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in written correspondence and permission from all parties is not necessary prior to making records. The law may differ wherever Moomoo operates out of and it's not worth the legal hassle if they are removed.
I have not had any personal communication with Moomoo since July 15th 2024 until they made repeated phone calls to me with a VOIP number spoofed to be coming from New Hampshire of all places. I thought it was a simple spam call (as my phone correctly labeled it) but the number immediately called back after rejecting the call. After rejecting the 2nd call, I received an SMS from a number used by Moomoo prior opening with
"Hello! This is moomoo, your stock trading platform. We have been attempting to contact you regarding your withdrawal earlier today. May we proceed with this text message?"
If Moomoo Lily had done as stated, they would have known my account is banned from opening new position
It was at that point I realized they were most likely leaving a veiled threat to seize my funds through claiming the transfer can't be completed successfully. These are all tactics debt collectors use in the US.
I left an open invitation to discuss in written correspondence via SMS or Email. Conversation ceased and the transfer went through.

Arrayfunction OP Greenhorn Dav : Thanks for the encouragement!
One thing I forgot to mention is how much I have always appreciated the Moomoo community.  I can't remember a single time I had a negative interaction with another user. Reflecting now, that played a huge role in making me feel like I belong here and kept any big loss or dumb play make me hit the eject button.
Of all the places on the internet, who would have thought it'd be a group of stock traders where everyone gets along and respects one another? So a big thanks to anyone else out there reading this too!

Arrayfunction OP gregarious Hare_7521 : What is your time frame you are looking at in terms of news? It seems to have been a one-off uptick in stock value unfortunately. There isn't really anything from a strictly data view that would point towards anything other than wobbling around the current price.
This is a good example of why you need to be careful with thinking off "averaged" data. If you were to look at the 3 month data - you would get a more optimistic point of view. With the price being relatively stable for so long prior to the one-off spike, all the metrics that rely on moving averages (which are most of the ones on here) are going to give effectively false positive "entry signs." Even after a few days have passed with lowered prices, the "averaged" values are inflated and so the trend metrics are still showing positive signs.
But if we limit the time window to much smaller chunks, you can see that in reality the stock is back to performing how it did before the spike. And the trend metrics are no longer reading positives.  I wouldn't expect much movement on price and to see the same wobbles as before the spike.
I would actually love if Moomoo added options to run metrics with the geometric and harmonic means as well as the arithmetic mean. It would help minimize these outlier problems,  but I don't think that is likely to happen.
Either way, that is why I personally use shorter calculation periods than default and always look at multiple timescales when thinking about a stock. Hope that helps 🫤

Arrayfunction OP Hase Investment King : Appreciate the feedback! Still getting my sea legs on here
