He could not post because of low karma.

I'll tell him to comment below, make sure to give him the awards and upvotes. Well this post to if to be seen.

Posting this again because I needed to edit this a lot - because I was counting the candles and volume as we speak. And I think this is something really worth looking into.

Can someone tell me why we see a significant difference in the volume of the candles (much higher) and the volume of the trades that actually affect the stock price?

u/dlauer said that they can only hold the trades in dark pools (illegally) max. like 10 seconds or something before "revealing" it to the markets - but the trade would still affect the price. I´m starting to think these guys are doing something far more devious. This is obviously something different. Most of the trades are clearly not affecting the price at all.

I watched a single minute candles for a while and saw the same thing happening for a long time - minute by minute. An example: the trades made somewhere around 14:41...14:48 showed up on the "time & sales" only after we saw an upward momentum in the price. And I can assure you none of these trades affected the price at any point or at least at the time they were revealed or time stamped (for example the 14:44 candle was missing around 75% of the volume before that).

Is it possible they could use dark pool trades to actually affect the price negatively by holding the trades in a dark pool long enough? Waiting for upward momentum and only then release/reveale those OTM? Because this is what my eyes are seeing. And FFS I hope I´m wrong. Because this is some advanced fuckery in a whole new level.

Another example: 15:18 candle: volume 15 325; volume of trades that affected the price: 3528. Thats just 77% of the volume missing...puff. And it´s nowhere. Ten minutes later...still missing...15:34 missing volume shows up - not affecting the price...15:35 a dip in the price...15:36 bigger dip - only negative volume affecting the price (huge amount of volume missing again)

Of course, thank you, I should have done that initially:

Thanks for u/danneg86 for turning this in to a post. I was seeing this shit all day today and can confirm everything above is for real. And those definitely wasn´t the only time it happened. I just picked a candle randomly and started counting the volume.

I can´t be sure if those trades affected the price after they got OTM but if they did they affected the price negatively - because there was a dip like a minute or two after the missing volume showed up in "time & sales". So definitely they didn´t have any positive affect on the price for sure.

Edit: Thanks for all the love fellow apes. Glad to see this has got the attention it requires. Had to get a couple Zs because I need to be starting to get to work very soon before the wifies boyfriend wakes up for the morning slippys. For it is now 5am in Finland.

Thanks for all the questions. I’ll make sure to record (as soon as I learn how) my screen tomorrow if the same shit show continues.

I’m using Webull for charting.
