One trade for 5K shares at the open is only trade below yesterdays close. Every other transaction is well above yesterdays close. That means everything was a buy, regardless of what MM and ihub shows. We have seen MM sandbag lower with volume. We will have to wait and see indeed. up 5%+ cold mean we show down over weekend.

"Looking at the actual trades does help me more than the squiggly line."

if you aren't going to keep track of the buys and sells for any period of time, learn to look at the technicals...in this case, the money flow..that will give you a good idea of what kind of buying or selling is taking place over a period of time..

trying to eyeball every trade to determine if its a buy or sell is useless..too many variables..often times what looks like a buy could be a sell and vice versa...unless you really know what you are doing and are honest with yourself...otherwise you will see whatever it is you want to see..

but over a period of time, you can look at the technicals and see what is really going on...and it eliminates the "its just manipulation" bs..regardless of whether its up or down..

that's what makes day trading so hard..things happening fast and furious sometimes with not everything being what it appears to be..the technicals cant keep up..which is why ive always said its more art than science..

with swing trading, one can see the technicals and attempt to interpret them..and take some time to do it..
