A comment on Ask HN: How to Get into Quantitative Trading?. Parent comment
Where would you say 80% of the daily trade volume comes from on average?
The powers to be that I can think of:
institutional investors / fund managers slowly reallocating (selling stuff off, buying stuff) daily
high frequency trading algorithms trading shares back and forth to each other in an artificial way to generate synthetic volume/movement
market makers reacting to option chain volume to remain neutral
"hedge funds" / "quant funds" running their algorithm
what do those algorithms look for at the "minute by minute" scale if not things like support/resistance/patterns/volume?
