    Why does my graph go all squiggly?

    Linky

    Look at the fluctuations today between 6.25 and 6.5p.

    Is this day traders and spread betters making a crafty buck?

    The difference between the highs and lows are only 0.1p or about 1.7%. I can't imagine it's spreadbetters as the spread between buy and sell would be more than that.

        Another observation:

        To pocket £100 by buying at the lower squiggle and selling at the high, you would need to trade in volumes of about 100,000 shares. The volumes of those trades are much smaller.

              The mid price is changing. The graph will be based on the mid point between the selling price and the buying price.

              As you cannot actually sell for the mid price this is a moot point concerning 'day trading'.

              The buy and sell prices move constantly throughout the day and on a low price penny share, which this is, if there is volume it looks like it's moving.

              Which it isn't.

              But now I know you're in it. I'm going to short it.

                  I've just shorted Dickhead PLC as well. I definitely know you're in that one.

                    Trebled my dough already, and expecting this share to go all the way up to around 45p. Nice little earner I reckon.
