    TA - Algo, TCA, and execution tactic Identification

    Problem will be timing. You can run heuristics after execution. But why take a awful lot complex route. On depth of market if I see size at support zone i assume someone knows something I don't know. In other words piggy back the size. Equities like AAPl there can be thousands of reasons why...

    I may be wrong. I think we are done selling for the time being. The usual 1500 exit may push a little bit down but we are going up from globex session. Vix is signaling bottom.
