And this is where the SBs come in useful.
They are not stupid.
If you watch whatever instrument you're trading AND one OR MORE SBs - just see which side of the underlying they start to bias.
If they're quoting longer than the underlying - you have a good indication it's going up - shorter and it's likely to go down.
The real value is in watching them switch from below to above price (or vice versa) - you KNOW you're onto a good thing when you catch them doing that.
These guys do know what they're doing - most of the time. If you don't have a strategy of your own, follow them!
N.B. They don't always get it right either, but more often than not.
