Look at all the trades. Have you seen all those 100, 300, 500 trades sizes today? No; they are 1000, 3000, 4100. My point was larger trade size, 10 time normal, means larger investor accumulating as PPs lowers to new channel bottom.

We saw 100, 300, 500 trade sizes as the PPs went up. 11k is a good $30,000 dollar trade. Now do this 10 times down to $2.80 and 100 times back up to $3.30 over a few days and some hedge guy made some money.

The pattern of large trades down, small trades up is opposite from what you see on the OTC:BB. There, normally buys are larger on the way up. It's the emotion factor of the average retail trader on the American. The American is still full of emotional traders, not seasoned investors or traders.

Think of it this way, elementary school, many kids get their lunch money taken by bullies. Middle school fewer, and high school fewer yet. Experience learned over the years, changes what one will except and fears. Now trade on the OTC:BB, the American, then the NYSE. Each has different ways bullies try to take your money.

The OTC:BB has the market makers, both customer & service provider. The American has the hedge fund traders, (customer) with specialist, (service provider). The NYSE has personal brokers/dealers, (customers) with floor traders (service providers). They all take money from you, just use different methods.

The trick is to learn the methods. Day traders & institution fund traders have education, experience and work using sophisticated tools to learn the methods. Retail just keeps getting suckered. Most because of emotion, some just because of lack of tools, experience, and education.

We are very lucky, having this board to exchange info that will help all gain, tools, education, and experience. I know it's helped me many times. Pass it on!
