How deep do you look with the buys and sells? -anything more...

How deep do you look with the buys and sells? -anything more than a cent or two above or below the market not worth looking at with a stock around these price levels -even then it is often manipulated

Not sure there is many experienced investors or traders on here that take much notice - I am pretty experienced but dont make out I know it all - which Brokers are buying or selling is interesting and some look at accumulation and distribution -despite following market for over 30 years since my early 20's I am not sure it is that relevant- Charts even show it

-once it was big parcels versus small parcels and the trend of price but now that is not really accurate as bot trading breaks volumes down a lot-- but if a lot of shares (more than normal) and it is rising I guess thats acccumulation- but also means there is a lot of sellers who are distributing!!

interested in others thoughts on that last paragraph
