Im seeing so many questionable things now on time andnsales
Like 50 orders one share each
Or a wall of 100 share buys followed by a wall of 100 share sells.

i guess what im really asking here is how did yall learn what is happening on the screen
Like did i miss a book or some common sense piece of info that everyone seems to know except me(thats how i feel right now)

Or maybe i missed the actual process of how to figure out what is happening on the screen.
Like when you see a wall of one share or 100 share orders how do you know what that means?
Because the broker does not allow orders of less than 100 shares on a stock thats under certain price.And yet im seeing single share orders..
when i search google i dont find much useful info about most of the questions i have. Then after searching i come here and get sent back to google "do your own research bro we suffered so you have to also"
i feel like i got wrong information somewhere along the way of watching youtube videos(thats the only source i have besides few of the recommended books that i read multiple times(that really dont apply to current market anymore)
More...

you might be seeing partial fills. no idea what a wall of 100 share orders is. what makes you think a single instrument holds much info? don't you think instruments behave together?
