OT Well I'll do the math. 16flips x 8000ish shares x 2 in/out = 256,000 shares worth of the volume. Volume being 41 Million for the day. (or 33 Million for an average day if you would rather).

So? AD = 6/10ths of 1% of the volume today. Alone.

You think there might be another 150 equivalent daytraders/institutional flippers/house traders out there in the world? That would leave about 1% of the volume to the investors.

I'm surprised:
A.) He doesn't f' the price up every time he moves.

B.) The broker/Market Maker doesn't key off "AD Like" orders. Damn if they don't seem to every time I try trading a position like that in size and consistency.

Sarmad, I really have no idea, but if I had to guess, I'd imagine retail day tradin' would fall somewhere below 20%. As for the shares traded today, well (without specifically adding them up, let's say 16 round trips at 6K+ shares per, comes out to somewhere near 200K).
