The Reading the Tape Program was designed by Gilbert Mendez, a partner of SMB Capital, and who was named one
of the Top 3 Traders Under 30 in 2010 by Wall St. Cheat Sheet
Reading the Tape offers you a look at the market from the most basic perspective- supply and demand, so that you gain an edge as an intraday trader. When you read the tape you can determine whether a stock is likely to go up or down from its present price by looking strictly at the bids, the offers, and the prints. This ability to read the most likely next move in a stock is often absent from your charts, a lagging indicator. Reading the Tape (RTT) is an important skill that all intraday traders must develop. Most new and developing traders just learn technical analysis, a little fundamental analysis and then start their trading career. Consequently, they are trading without fully developed trading skills.
