RE:I use the labels that my service provides. "B" for a buy and "S" for a sell. Well, what exactly is their methodology for labeling trades as buys or sells? This is important to know if one is to draw even mildly meaningful conclusions from the data. Do you know for instance if today's top ten volume trades occured at the bid or ask? PS, what's the name of the data service? Maybe I can find the info on my own.

Yo acidman- There is a really smart dude on the Tech Stock Options thread that used to post his ideas and observations on the possible movement of stocks based on Money Flow looking at block and non-block (i think the dividing line is 5000 shrs) trades. He had some way of determining if there were divergences between the actual price and the prices base on the MF and could predict with good accuracy movement in the underlying stock price. Your idea of looking at the top ten sells (or buys for that matter) is a great idea, but it needs to be an accumulation type of thing as opposed to just todays top ten, tommorows top ten , etc. etc. Whatever, post your thoughts and we'll share. -Neal
