that is why imo it's wise to review multiple aspec
Post# of 72440
what i actually look at re: Non Retails' cycles of money in play .. is first volume avgs
then i check on what i refer to as NRs' liquidity (or lack of) .. and i do this by noting what the PPS range shows for the day .. and then the week .. when one sees above avg volume go off in a tightly held PPS range .. *imo* that is NR resetting because they have no choice .. so for example say 90 day avg is 210k
and OTC taget sees 800k go off in volume in one day .. but the PPS range is held between 41c and 44c .. that isn't *retail* .. that is a controlled reset by NR .. it will immediately impact the 10 day avg .. eventually if able to be maintained .. it will impact the 90 day avg .. but then watch to see how marked .. if done well above 30% .. it's volume done for *volume* and resetting between CEs .. *imo*
then i note
who is showing on l2 .. vs what actually gets *reported* .. because as i noted last week .. IPIX has lots of decoys .. but only 3 MMs are *responsible* for the majority of %s (volume) that has traded since May 2017 .. (probably longer but i'd have to verify files from that time frame) .. i don't like to go too far out in the weeds because this data can usually make some eyes' glaze over
then i check what % gets marked each day .. ironically back in 2010 when this link first went live by Finra (at the behest of the SEC) .. it was *deemed* OT by
the swamp because for years embeds had literally posted that there was no such thing as a *short* (legal or abusive) on OTC stox .. so clearly those falsehoods had to be *addressed* (conditioning retail) pre allowance of data to be posted
even more interesting .. was a long non used *alias* .. being resurrected for the first time in about 6 years or so .. *being activated* in approx 2010 to follow and post out *canned response* .. when that alias finally wore out its welcome at the swamp .. a new one was created who also was tasked with *canned response* and cyber *following* ..
that is the post that always gets trotted out by rote *there* .. what isn't conveyed was my response to *cyber follower* .. in that it's not the one day %s .. that matter .. it's what is shown over weeks/months and in the case of IPIX (and other OTC Survivors) .. over years
there are other aspects one can *view and digest* .. but bottom line is nothing supplants one's DD and and understanding the visual of what is shown by NR
i'm no expert on baby bios .. but i recognize what IPIX/s *volume* has conveyed since the back half of 2014 .. and i recognized in advance (July 2015 when i first publicly posted) what NR was CONveying by what they undertook and would undertake in the back half of 2015 .. which while it worked re: IPIX's relentless PPS compression .. actually failed imo *overall and bigger picture wise* .. based on mgmt's aggressive response .. and volume avgs declining .. to say nothing of what imo is equally revealing .. the diminishing MMs willing to play an UPSIDE DOWN rigged game (remember it was 25 to 30 on avg in 2015 vs today's 9 to 11) .. imo in play since the first day CTIX traded .. because again the majority of OTC targets do not survive NRs' efforts .. those that do .. with mgmt's ability to execute imo are *EPIC* .. in how NR has to handle them .. and that is what i suspect NR is fully cognizant of in 2018

lastly if anyone has the time it is truly worth the effort to observe what is shown by MMs on l2 .. at any given time .. and then note the trades that go off .. against either bid or ask .. that never adjust *size* showing .. per Finra .. all of this is SOP as are targeted trades fed below bid showing .. what i look for is when that pattern changes out .. i found last Thursday interesting because of the utilization of decoys .. rarely activated
imo it's always worth noting when patterns' change out

Interesting. When I see my trade on the tape it's the number of shares that have changed hands in one transaction. At the same time, I've also seen what some call "mirrored trades" where the MM will quickly put a buy or sell of the same amount, almost instantly. Who it was I have no clue, was it a legit trade? Or was it naked? Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. But as far as I know, the daily volume is just what's changed hands. Not divided in half.
