RE: Buys v Sells21 Jul 2021 14:48
Levs, whilst I appreciate your pearls of wisdom, I have been using such data for years, to great effect. As I've already pointed out, it will never be perfect, and indeed on some very rare days for some stocks, it will be completely wrong, simply based on the number of trades going through either above or below the mid price.
What's key, is that I test for myself through dummy buy & sell prices throughout the day, that the data is being recorded accurately and that a 10% allowance typically is now is my base case for errors.
Stocks move up and stocks move down every day, not always based simply on bus v sells, but on wider market sentiment and demand in general. We have done well here over the last two sessions, but there have been a lot of placing flippers selling into this rise and I think you might just find we drop back a bit before moving on, but let's see.
