Could someone comment on this problem I am having.

I find myself going around in circles trying to "out think" what I see on level two.

Is it true that a significant amount of the volume on Nasdaq stocks
( some say as much as 50% ) is between MM's?!?

If MANY of the big blocks are actually churning between MM's how does an "amatuer" trader avoid being manipulated?

How can someone discern true demand for a stock from MM manipulation?

Any comments on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Street Walker,

what do you use for NYSE stocks? Are there anything similar to Level II?

Street Walker..
With your current system have you been able to take advantage of
of the play you outlined in your post #53 -> "If the stock is
going to go up, you see MM's rise to the higher ask price.
With a fast execution system, you can trade in and out....just
in time." This would be great! To scalp the scalpers!
