market maker signals?People call these (e) signals (miniscule trades) a load of crap, others pay attention and make use of them. I don't know but they are always being used and the trading pattern usually matches the signal. So for what it's worth, here they are.
-100 I need shares.
-200 I need shares badly,but do not take the stock down.
-300 Take the price down so I can load shares
-400 Keep trading it sideways.
-500 Gap the stock. This gap can be either up or down, depending on the direction of the 500 signal.
Some ask "Why don't they just use the phone or instant message. Well, that would mean they have to contact a large number of brokers. Much easier to just hit a key on their computer. They don't care if people see what they are doing.
Here are today's recent trades for QEI - signals are in bold type...
