?? Not my post but curious: I learned from a trader friend of mine that the algorithm's setup on the markets will calculate available shares along with a number of other signifcant calculations like average shares being purchased at different amounts over a period. But, basically if 60-80% of shares were being put on an ask of (example $.60 or more) then the shorts would start covering in preparation for a possible run up to avoid losses.
Why not do this? ($0.60 is just an example)
