RE:The BIG BIDs.............????????@Red_Deer Level II is nice to know but unless you are daytrading AAB wich is right now not a stock for that kind of trading, I am questionning your purpose for your comments??? Level II can be deceiving, you only see what professional traders want you to see. How many time you think there is a small lot on the ask side and try to move a stock up and others automatic small lot appear on ask. Same thing when you see a large amount on the ask and think it will not be breached but then it’s gone away and move on.
Support is when you see people buying a stock at a certain price. So real support is a reaction from traders that will jump in and level II doesn’t shown this, it only show what was filled at the current price.
I would use level II with 15 minutes charts and hourly charts to daytrade on highly volatile stock wich have a large volume trades.
