    This has been going on since the advent of electronic trading - why not just take screen shots and send them to SEC/FINRA/NASDAQ Regulatory Compliance?

    If enough different players do that - it might force some action.

    This is why the practice of selling order flow encourages shady behavior on the part of the buyers of said order flow.

  4. Ive said this lots of times and ima stop saying it after this because some of you can be dense as fuck.

    1. as stated from other people, reading level 2 or T&S is not tape reading.

    2. T&S is not a reliable function to watch. Why? Because your broker can save up a whole bunch of orders and batch them all at once at a given price and the price movement for those orders have already been factored in. Meaning, you see a batch of 200k orders come through and the price barely budges if at all.

    Just like volume, for the most part, is not a reliable thing to watch + you should be able to tell the volume based upon the bar. Big bar = big volume.
