The hidden orders do not bother me much. But I find the big trades that show up on a one minute chart that are calculated to run the dome highly indicative of direction. They show up on the one minute chart as normal activity plus 1000, 5000, or 15000 contracts and 1500 contract buys HAVE showed up in the middle of the night driving up the price for months. But This morning there was the dogi in ESZ9 8:30 AM Eastern that started at 1061, went down to 1058. Check it out. Someone decided it was time for the market to go down and dumped 15,000 contracts on the market in a second. Someone else bought them back up. This one was like being caught in a crossfire. But made it look like the big boys were going to srugg off any bad news and support stocks as has become usual. Then today, they hit it with a series of sell orders totaling 5 to 10K in a minute whenever it showed signs of breaking back up outside of the channel. A message that the market is being taken down about as subtle as a Mack truck.
