PLS and BOTS, page-4

By the way the buying bot has no buys in. Right now buys at 12.0 are not the bot.
The bot is watching. If the 12.0 is taken out and buys drop to 11.5 the bot moves to 11.5 tempting in more 12.0 sellers. Watch the bot grab sudden bigger parcels and always at the sellers price.
It doesn't want to place a buy because it wants volume on the buy side to look low.

How to beat the bot?
Bots work in a range of around 10% usually so they don't usually cause more than 10% up or down, which is a 20% range.

If you see a selling bot, do not buy.
If you see it early you might sell and buy back later.

If you see a buying bot and want say 200K of shares, follow the bot and split your buy to 2 or more buys and place a buy order at the low price. The bot can't be there because he will force volume up and the price up. But he (ahh no, it must be s she) is helping you to buy at the lower sell price.
