I use two measures when I look at Thomson trading. First I look at the number of bars, and then volume, or tallness, if you will, of those bars. If both outnumber sells, then so far so good. Then I look at how much of total trading is institutional. If the pie chart portion is 50% or less, than no big deal. If 75% or more than it shows institutional interest to me...at least in relation to overall trading in the stock. I may be all wet here, but that's how I use the indicators. Obviously you don't want to rely only on what Thomson shows you. It's just one more tool to be used with all the other stuff out there. Hope this helps. Peter.
