I wish I knew exactly, but I have been told about it from several unrelated sources. One person was a HOME board reader who helped to build it. Could it be a myth? Possibly. If it were real, would it be consistent with the way the big boys play this game? Yes, absolutely. The way to assure profits (on either side of the ball) is to eliminate risk. The bottom line . . . If you are sure you are going to win, you bet bigger amounts. From what I understand, as soon as you submit your buy or sell, you show up on one type of radar. You also show up on radar when you request a quote. Like Vegas, your play is "rated". Odd lots (both long and short) have shown up on radar for many years. This has traditionally been a heavily watched indicator for when a run is over. In other words, if a stock is going down down down, you watch for odd lots to be placed. . . these are mom and pops who can't afford to short a round lot 100 shares. When they start jumping in with their 31 shares, the bells ring alerting a turn around. . .triggering major short-covering and buying. This game has gone on for a long time and is not covert. . .despite the fact that small investors are not privy to this same data. Remember when I was wanting to assemble new private market indicators? This was why. To help level the playing field some. The data they have regarding trading patterns of small investors is powerful to say the least. Small investors nearly always trade in patterns. Read the patterns and they are a cinch to beat. Remember it is a zero sum game. Small vs. Large. Small figures out a way to win. . . Large loses. . . Large gets mad, then figures out a way to get even. . . Small loses. . . Repeat ad ininitum.
