I have traded for about 20 years hard. Usually buying 10,000 shares and as much as 50,000 shares at a time.


It is not possible for me to do that anymore. The high-speed computers have taken away trading for anyone who cannot get immediate execution. Also they can execute in between trades when they see orders coming in. The bit in the ask means nothing.


Not only that, your broker will work against you following your trades,. I've even had Ameritrade sell my shares when I had a great trade going. I know this because I had to spend one week getting my money back for shares they sold

Then I had the Ameritrade people come to me and asked me if I wanted to work for them. They told me I made 12 profitable trades in a row and they wanted to know how I did it.

MMs will buy, or sell, for their book depending on what they see future orders are, limit or stop orders, or where they think the PPS is headed. MMs are neutral and just try to keep an orderly market.
