Question...This pie chart which was at 31% institutional buying at the open, fell to 25% about an hour ago. It is now at 30%. My question is this a tool of any worth? They list it as:
Institutional - a trade reported by a major brokerage firm which typically trades on behalf of major mutual funds/portfolio managers. While these firms also have retail branches, the amount of trades reported on behalf of institutional investors dwarfs the limited amount of retail trades that are reported.
Additionally, Institutional brokers often maintain internal house trading accounts as "market makers." When these firms report their trades it is impossible to determine whether the trades were executed on behalf of an institutional client or for the firm's own house trading accounts. While trading patterns for institutional clients and house accounts tend to differ, the fact that "Big Money" is behind the trades means that these investors/traders have the ability to move markets.

Since it seems to be updated with a minimum delay, I was wondering if anyone is garnishing anything of value from it.
