Unusual volume alerts!

[stockGURU]

I thought it might be useful to start a thread where people could alert other ASF members to companies that are experiencing a sudden change in the amount of volume being traded or unusual patterns of volume being traded.

We all have different stocks on our watchlists and thought this thread could be a way of alerting others on ASF to unusual amounts of volume in stocks that others may not be watching.

Am hoping this thread could be useful in the same way that the Potential Breakouts and Outstanding Breakouts threads are.

OK here's one for SYS, 10 mill traded in one hit this morn.
What can be determined from this, is it an attempt at a price cap that didn't go according to plan?

7 1:04:06 pm 5 100,000 0.1 $5,000 1
6 12:42:37 pm 5.1 100,000 0.1 $5,100 1
5 10:49:04 am 5 10,005,050 0.1 $500,252 1

Had crossed my mind some time back but was not sure if such a context would stand alone but charts would go with it. Should be a valuable thread IMHO

Yeah a great idea. I look forward to the contributions from o.p.

Advancing on volume??? (Change extension to csv, open in Excel)

P.S. That Q was not rhetorical If i am reading this right, why would someone put 10 mill shares on the sell, only to have them snapped up in one trade?

They may well be buying and selling to themselves. I suspect (and would like some comment from others) that big players and the companies themselves play this game to keep prices at certain levels for their own ends. No proof but happens so much in certain ways that I think some trading/price may be controlled this way. ????

previously organised between 2 parties at an agreed price ? dunno merely speculating as an off mkt transfer probably easier to control

TSO

Similar previous price action, Price makes a high, then drifts back down on low volume, Big volume then occurs on strong up moves.

With the last drift however there been a big increase in volume over the last 4 days, and prices have stayed static.

Hard one for me to call, I'd want to see prices move in one direction rather then trying to guess which way.

CVN.

Just read the CVN thread.

Have a look at HEG today 7,717,366 traded. Nothing has come close to that volume since Oct 07 when there were some very large up moves in the price.

 

[nunthewiser]

Thanks for that one johnnyg

this one suits my style

cheers

 

[johnnyg]

No worries Nun, check out BLY, similar sort of setup.

Lots of insto activity here. Hartley's has a 'buy' on YTC - as reported by Bromby this morning.

[bowman]

A 300k buyer appeared very briefly during yesterdays YTC closing auction.

He's back again this morning - for the time being.

 

[bowman]

This is a similar situation to YTC, in that it appears an insto is selling a large parcel. Watch for the rally when they are done. A good entry atm looks to be 22c.

 

[johnnyg]

Have a SIP.

 

[bowman]

This is only a small blip on the radar so far. A couple of biggish volume days and since then, someone is keen to buy at .009 or less.

A bit of an oddball company in that it has transport software system and services as well as exploration interests.

Maybe one to watch for the speccie hunters out there.

For those of you who use Volume as a trading tool you may find this interesting.
Something to watch. Ive been working on this concept for a couple of years.
See how you find it in charts you look at.

There are a few "rules" which identify a "Marker or Tag" which include.
(1) 5 x + Average volume
(2) Price isnt appreciably moved ie within the normal ATR
(3) Price immediately acts as support or resistance.
(4) Commonly followed within 3 bars by very clear no demand or no supply bars.

Interested in feedback.

Chart is UXC Im all thumbs
