blocking stake, page-6

twende-this is my theory it stems from the last 3.5 years
there was a noticeable shift in trading patterns and the speed of execution of trades.

i dont know alot however the majority of trading strategys
revolve around the vwap or volume weighted average price a good trading platform will provide an historical evaluation generally as a pop up on the chart.

you should look at other posts of mine on afg,anyway to continue you will see small parcels (bots),these are generated by proprietary trading platforms, largely to establish a sales
pattern,i guess its somewhat like the specials in stores there are a limited number,the reason behind this is to excite consumer behaviour, that would be you and me,the real agenda
of the people behind the proprietary platform is very simple,generally accumulation or distribution.

their plan to execute this agenda is a precision operation
and carries significant risk.

so their objective to accumulate normally based on the spread of price,that is what they trade the spread,on a previous post was an example if i had sold at 54 and purchased the next day at .405 less trade costs my stock accumulation would have been a 33% gain,a similar thing is carried out on a daily basis by the proprietary traders,whom we will refer to as hunters .

this is primarily the reason for trade movement to accumulate $ or stock,in AFG,S case without the support of
ann. and ,news i might add is a vital element for you ,
without that support and in the case of afg to support the
sp. and remove significant volatility they need to front run the stock on the bid and ask side with considerable depth,
that is depth in the incremental price on the bid and ask
combined with significant parcel size and within the total parcel size you will find small parcels that serve to protect a position in the asx bid and ask,these can be altered.

now at this point i hope it makes some sense,anyway the blocking stakes present both a pyschological barrier and a physical one,they can be withdrawn or changed at any time,
when you see stock running hard it can be news or proprietary trading systems running the stock up, however you have no way of knowing.
so what i do is look at parcel size,range of execution or spread,proprietary ttading systems are not infallible they require a human element,this morning that was presented as
a .36c large parcel by the time i had moved to buy that parcel they corrected it,so they use state of the art highspeed data with direct processing.

sometimes you can beat them,usually the superior technology wins,so back to trading you can trade over any time frame from my view the longer the riskier.

so welcome i will wait for a reply, i am happy to share
the little i think i know, there is a great deal more but this might be sufficient for the moment
