Roughly, the term “big boys” refers to fund managers of hedge fund, asset managers, syndicate players or operators behind big bosses who help manipulate stock prices.

It is every trader’s dream to know the big boys, hoping that they will release tips before they push up stock prices. In reality, how many retail traders know of these so-called big boys? Even if small traders have the connection, will the big boys inform them before they push up the stock?

There is one simple way to identify big boys’ action though. If you have the access to the market depth of the stock like the one shown below, you might discover their action.

If single transaction of huge volume to buy up sell-queue (or to buy from seller) is rampant, it probably suggests the share price will move up. Likewise, if it is to sell down buy-queue (or sell to buyer), it means the share price might weaken.

BUT BEWARE that big boys might create artificial appearance to trap small boys.
