Quote from jonp:
this strategy is retarted.
there are so many factors which can make this not work, the first thing that comes to mind is the institution that posted this huge block of shares on one single penny can remove their order if they are holding back the stock, then they'll just sell later and everyone trying to get short with the "smart money" gets squeezed. second thing is if an institution is deadset on selling a large amount of stock they will spread their order out over a few different levels...that or get their salesmen to recommend the stock to the wealthy clients.
I understand your concern, but that is the whole point you see. Sometimes these large orders befool you and you have to pay for it, but then if you know the art of recognising genuine limit orders which wont escape like on even levels, then it can be great help.
You can trade on these levels keeping your out as large limit orders.
I dont know about you, but i have made tons of money using this strategy.
Right now i manually search out for any large limit orders, i just wanted to know if there's any filter which can do this work for me.
If you know any, then please let me know. Bye
