I will mentor you right now and for free: sorry, there are no systems or patterns that consistently work. Nobody makes money doing that. (although a lot of people would like you to believe otherwise because of business reasons). If you want to be successful, find an edge: but based it on...

hehe.. well I don't trade stuff that I don't understand. I want to short this stock, but haven't done so because of it.. so I'm not making or losing any money on this one..

In the end, we all know how much money we're making and thus who is an expert and who is not..

anything and everything can happen in the markets all the time. What differentiates the men from the boys is whether you can make sense of it. Don't be fooled to think that market participants, specially HFT's which make most of the trading volume these days act randomly. They make money. That...

What calls my attention is not so much the size of the movement but rather the change in the mindset of market participants in such a short amount of time. Or in other words, I'm interested in understanding who could possibly made so many sell orders in such a short amount of time and keep the...

Thanks for your reply Scataphagos. Noise means you can't discern anything from it, but that is not how markets operate. At the first price change with low volume, few traders were willing to sell (or buy), so with little volume price went down. But later on, a huge lot was traded, and then...

Hi all I have been following this stock and have seen very unusual activity lately. Check out this graph of what happened this morning. Can you explain what could have happened here?
