Casaubon: It is easier to spot (no way to substantiate) with volume spikes at certain price action points. Or, you can analyze the time/sales data at the end of the day, as I do. Time consuming, but worth the effort if you know how and what to look for. Some times you can spot it intraday, but this is even harder. I watched Richard Ney do this (analyze time/sales data) for years almost every other day. That is how I learned. The best way to learn, is by experience. When you think you have seen it, follow up price action in the expected direction will help confirm you suspicions. Regards, LG

Well I focus mostly on the indexes, and don't know how it would work for a stock. The Tick is for NYSE.. and in watching that the S&P and NYSE normal respond to it fairly fast, like your almost always to late to get short after the tick goes down.. but there are times that sucker will ease on down and steady ease down BUT the INDEXES go UP so how do they go UP ..<G> but if ur not looking at the time, it's hard to catch when you back track , I need to get me a china marker to use on my my screen. <G> Every one is jumping bearish, and that will stall a fall, too many shorts and the specialist will run a squeeze, so we need an up day to shake out the weaker shorts. They guys in NY can see the stop loss orders and will grab them over and over , the market falls when most people have stopped shorting. Jim
