Following the Money What drives movement in the market? Different participants: The normal trades – can be retail traders, small funds, large funds trading in small pieces, etc. The big trades – Larger than normal trade sizes, these are people putting a lot of capital down (or closing) at a specific price The small trades – Small retail traders, HFTs, Algos, trading a lot but in small volume. When the big trades come in, it causes the market to move heavily. Algos/HFTs are programmed to look for these trades, retail traders, day traders, and even large funds are looking for these orders coming in, and they will either join the direction or attempt to front run it. The big money is really the directional driver at any given moment. What have we been missing?? Big Money has had tools for a long time to hide their large orders. As an example, algos can be used to separate a 1m volume order into multiple smaller trades to attempt to keep the market from running away from the desired price. They could even have a diligent broker spreading their trade out over the course of a day. Or trade in dark pools where eventually the darkpool will come out to the lit-market in some sizable but oddly priced trade. Another algorithmic tool is used by institutions to get large orders in, this tool takes advantage of temporary dips in liquidity. If Big Money wants to buy large on a low price for the day, they’ll wait for sellers to exhaust themselves then over multiple trades, sweep the remaining sell volume. This creates a defensive line and probable reversal point in the market. (typically seen as hammer bars, morning stars, evening stars, etc on a charting pattern). At KOTM we follow Unusual Option Activity – large institutional option order flow – but the catch is, we never quite know if they’re using options to hedge a stock position or if they’re using options as a less capital intensive speculation strategy. If we can track the overall stock positioning of the large institutions we can get an edge and have a better sense of an option order being a hedge or speculation. All of these things are detectable and trackable, but not with traditional charting methods.

Following the Money What we can see: The traditional chart:
Price (Open, Close, High, Low) Time (Per bar, Over the day) Volume (How much per bar period) What can we read from this? High volume on the opening sell off… so down? High volume on the opening rally… So up? High volume on the close… so??? No wonder it’s easy to get chopped up in this market… Price Time Volume Hi Vol Buying? Hi Vol ??? Hi Vol Selling? Hi Vol Selling? Hi Vol ???

Following the Money Let’s put on the AlphaTracker X-Ray Specs:
What we can see: Price (Open, Close, High, Low) Time (Per bar, Over the day) Volume (How much per bar period) Volume/Trade (Who’s acting in the market) Now we can see Tuesday there was large buying but defending the top level of As we broke above that Wednesday there was continued buying, but a test of the same level from the top side, a good long entry. Thursday buyers defended as a low level, Friday we retested the same level for another long entry. Big money was active Tuesday and Thursday, and waited patiently for best entries Wednesday and Friday Defensive Sellers Defensive Buyers Test for Long Entry Test for Long Entry Big money Buying Heavily Big money waiting for best long entry

Following the Money Another example:
YDKN on 7/16 A stock that barely moves, jumped from 21.3 to close at 22.4 How could I have seen it coming? Looking about 10 minutes before the spike in the stock, big money came in and bought 1,100 shares, they did the same 5minutes later, then the stock popped. Looking at volume alone, it wouldn’t have been seen. Looking at price action alone, It wouldn’t have been seen. AlphaTracker saw it…. No price movement A-typical buying pressure

Small Money (retail) Long & Strong
Following the Money Another example: Tracking the cumulative positions over past 20-days GOOGL ahead of earnings Over the past 20-days we can see that small money has remained considerably long throughout. Big money and the normal participants (all money) positioned themselves flat into Monday this week. At the end of the day Tuesday, Big money bought heavily to a 10% long position, then accumulated more on Thursday ahead of the announcement. They continued to buy Friday even after the large jump in price ending the week 53% long (some profits taken at the end of the day Friday) Small Money (retail) Long & Strong Big Money Buying Flat into Monday

Following the Money So how does AlphaTracker do this voodoo magic????? Data Mining – Hunting for the statistical outliers to determine what is actually significant in the market (the actions of big money) and what isn’t…
9
Following the Money But what is it looking at? Let’s look at some sample data: This is a random chart of trades and sizes within multiple 5minute time periods
10
Following the Money So how does the AlphaTracker decipher this data?
Looking at the average trade size during 4 different time periods (regular trading hours, extended trading hours, opening period, closing period) it detects any unusual activity. Then it runs this data through an artificial intelligence algorithm to determine (to the best of its ability) if it’s buying or selling. Then AlphaTracker tracks big money trades and small money trades as separate from normal trades providing an insight into the actions of the market. Looking at the GOOGL chart above, we can see an abundance of big money buying (more so than selling) ahead of earnings. It also saw a large defensive play by big money with a buy order of 67k shares before the end of the day just before earnings.

Following the Money So what do you get with the AlphaTracker Indicators? AlphaTracker Lower Study: Two functions in one Day trading (track the actions of big money on an intra day basis) Big money buys are represented by green bars – light green for mild, bright green with volume labels for large buys Big money sells are represented by red bars – light red (orange) for mild, bright red with volume labels for large sells. The blue line represents Big Money’s position, as it rises they are buying, as it falls they are selling. The yellow line represents All Money (the overall market) The Red line represents Small Money (At the end of each day, all three lines are reset to zero) Big Money Buying all day Big Money Buy Big Money Selling all day Big Money Sell

Following the Money So what do you get with the AlphaTracker Suite?
AlphaTracker Upper Study See the Defensive Lines The Tracker notes defensive selling/buying and draws lines across the chart when it believes they are especially significant, other moments are noted but if price breaks them they do not continue on. These lines act as Pivot Points. Price will either bounce or break them. If they break, price will continue hard in the break’s direction.
