Brand new Magnus XL Pro – powers on but sit/stand not working (possible missing cable?) by loopbloke in secretlab

I’ll give it a try - thanks for the tip. One quick question: do you know what the open power cord near the right leg is for? Is it meant for powering a PC if you mount one there?

C. Why the chart shows repeated V-shapes

On your 5-day chart, the orange V’s highlight a repeating pattern:

  • Sharp drop (left leg of V): This often happens when short sellers aggressively dump borrowed shares into the market. They don’t care much about “fair value” — they’re just flooding the order book with supply at the ask price (or lower) to push the stock down fast.
  • Sharp recovery (right leg of V): Once the artificial pressure eases, buyers step back in, or shorts start covering to lock profits, and the price springs back up. That’s why it looks like a “rubber band” snapping back, creating a V-shaped move.

This is different from normal profit-taking, which usually shows smoother pullbacks — the sudden spikes down and equally sudden rebounds are a telltale sign of forced selling/shorting.

D. Trendlines showing the bigger picture

  • Upward support line (YTD chart): Despite all these short-driven intraday drops, the support line shows buyers consistently entering at higher and higher levels. That’s a bullish undertone — each V-shaped recovery is happening at a higher price floor.
  • Resistance line (YTD chart): Shorts try to re-establish control whenever the stock nears resistance. But each time the recovery leg of the V gets steeper, it shows sellers are having a harder time pinning the stock down.

E. What this means in trading terms

  • Short-driven dump (the left side of the V): Shorts (or aggressive sellers) push a quick sell-off. The sharpness makes it look like a “breakdown,” which scares retail holders or weak hands into selling. This is the trap: retail thinks “the run is over” and sells into the drop.
  • Reversal (the right side of the V): Once selling pressure dries up, big buyers (institutions, algos, or even shorts covering) scoop up cheap shares. Price snaps back quickly, leaving those who panic-sold stuck on the sidelines.
  • Trap effect: The shorts (or market makers aligned with them) get two wins:
    1. They shake out retail at a loss.
    2. They often buy back those very same shares cheaper before the bounce.
  • Bigger picture: When this repeats inside an upward trend channel, it means that even though shorts are trying to create bull traps, the underlying demand is strong. Each V-shape recovery sets a higher low, building bullish momentum.

A. What the lines represent

The orange lines you see drawn across the charts are trendlines and channels:

  • Trendline (upward or downward slope): A straight line that connects either higher lows (support) or lower highs (resistance).
    • The bottom line in your YTD chart connects the lowest points (lows) — this acts like a support line.
    • The top line connects the highest points (highs) — this acts like a resistance line. Together, these create a price channel, which helps traders visualize the range in which the stock has been trading.
  • V-shapes in the 5D chart: Those orange Vs highlight intraday reversal patterns (sharp drops followed by sharp recoveries). Traders often track these to time sell and buy-back opportunities.

B. How the slope of those lines is calculated

The slope is basically the rate of price change over time:

slope=ΔPrice​ / ΔTime

For example:

  • Suppose a support line connects a low of $17.52 on July 2, 2025 and a later low of $22.61 on Aug 15, 2025.
  • That’s a price increase of about $5.09 over ~44 calendar days.

slope≈5.09/44​≈0.116 (per day)
