MARKET MAKER SIGNALS
Penny traders believe that Market Makers (MM)
will "signal" moves in advance buy using
small amounts of buys or sells as "signals".
The "signals" are such a small amount of shares
(worth no more than 5 or 10 dollars) that
no trader would have paid a commission that
costs more than the amount of shares bought.
The "signals" are from one MM to another.
100 - I need shares.
200 - I need shares badly, but do not take the stock down.
300 - Take the price down so I can load shares
400 - Keep trading it sideways.
500 - Gap the stock.
This gap can be either up or down,
depending on the direction of the 500 signal.
911 - Pending News
Understanding the Form T-Trade:
If a market maker wants to accumulate
a large amount of a stock in one trading day,
that market maker may actually not report
any of the trades that occurred
until the trading day has ended
so as not to alert the market to the collection.
