"bucket shop " is 1. A fraudulent brokerage firm that uses aggressive telephone sales tactics to sell securities that the brokerage owns and wants to get rid of. The securities they sell are typically poor investment opportunities, and almost always penny stocks. 2. A brokerage that makes trades on a client's behalf and promises a certain price. The brokerage, however, waits until a different price arises and then makes the trade, keeping the difference as profit. 1. Bucket shops are sometimes called the boiler room. The U.S. Has laws restricting bucket shop practices by limiting the ability of brokerage houses to create and trade certain types of over-the-counter securities. 2. The second definition for a bucket shop comes from over 50 years ago, when bucket shops would do trades all day long, throwing the ticket into a bucket. At the end of the day they would decide which accounts to award the winning and losing trades.

the "on-balance volume - oBV " is A method used in technical analysis to detect momentum, the calculation of which relates volume to price change. OBV provides a running total of volume and shows whether this volume is flowing in or out of a given security. This indicator was developed by Joe Granville. OBV attempts to detect when a financial instrument (stock, bond, etc.) is being accumulated by a large number of buyers or sold by many sellers. Traders will use an upward sloping OBV to confirm an uptrend, while a downward sloping OBV is used to confirm a downtrend. Finding a downward sloping OBV while the price of an asset is trending upward can be used to suggest that the "smart" traders are starting to exit their positions and that a shift in trend may be coming.
