      Given these basic assumptions, the savvy DayTrader can watch the tape,watch the charts, and watch CNBC to "see" what the herd of DayTraders isdoing. When a stock hits the news, and is followed by a massive number of1,000-share prints on the time of sales, chances are very high thatDayTraders are playing the stock. Watch carefully for which 1,000-shareprints are at the bid price and which are at the ask price. Since shortselling is not as popular amongst DayTraders as going long is, and becausevery few people will short a stock after a positive news break comes out onit, it is safe to assume that if the print is at the bid, a DayTrader isselling the stock, and if the print is at the ask, a DayTrader is buyingthe stock. Add up the buys and sells, and you can determine what percentageof the cumulative daily trading volume is outstanding in the hands ofDayTraders.
