live action not 20min delayed,live, watch orders being pulled,reworked on the bid and ask ,miniscule trades of 1 or a hundred unit on a sub $ stock then go figure it out,automated trading in nano seconds,in fact the only stocks not affected seeing 70% are ,are the ones with limited infection,the high volume like tls,now that one is difficult you can make money but the time value and order size have greater relevance. charts have little relevance beyond a visual guide which humans,being great lovers of patterning and symmetry will go to endless detail in the hope of projecting an outcome.
that outcome is largely controlled by a computer driven system that assesses all data to optimise a strategy or potential profit scenario filling or for that matter emptying the bid and ask,creating open,close, intraday highs and lows all of which are used by fundamental systems and are largely meaning less within the controlled pattern of computer driven sales.
in short there is no pun intended,this is the ultimate rubik cube and if you are not super greedy and develop a strategy you will make money,the rest of the time the systemic manipulation is using your capital to assist their objective,leaving you the option of waiting them out(time value of money)or selling.
this is a free market,and without rules and suitable management it will never be free
