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.

However, Bond Investors,
who can use the rest
after being pummeled over the past few days,
have Veterans Day off !
So, why do bond investors get a day off
and equity investors, not so much ?
Here’s a bit of history:
Veterans Day,
which is meant to pay homage
to U.S. military service members,
used to be celebrated
by stock and bond markets alike,
starting as far back as 1938
(some put the date back to 1921).
Back in 1938,
Veterans Day was declared a legal holiday
to be celebrated on Nov. 11,
known as Armistice Day.
Over the years, the date has shifted.
That is one possible reason why
the market’s observation
of the holiday is so spotty.
Wall Street
used to observe Veterans Day
with a brief two-minute shutdown
from 1954 to 2006,
but that ended in 2007.
One simple explanation
for why bond markets close on Veterans Day
may be the fact that the U.S. Treasury Department
is closed on the federal holiday.
That means Treasury's —
a big chunk of typical trading activity
on regular days and a key benchmark —
are also forced to take a holiday.
