2. Slow but methodical - Traders who swing large size are trying to
position themselves for a move but doing so in a very slow and
methodical way. This action can look like it offers no opportunity but, in
fact, can yield very good trades if you have the patience to sit and wait.
We usually see this later in the morning or afternoon after the initial
reactions to news have setted.
3. Suck you in / Trap you - This is the action that makes you think
something is going to happen when, in reality, the odds are that nothing
at all is going to happen and you will either sit in a trade for an hour
without the market moving or get hooked on the wrong side and blow
out at the exact turning point which brings it back to your price. Most of
the major players as well as short-term scalpers have already made
their moves and the only people currently trading are large institutions
who have to monitor the markets all day and short-term traders who
are down money and hoping to get their money back.
