How do you separate the random from the non-random? And, if a lot of
sellers come in at the end of the day in a bullish market and economy,
say, because a long holiday weekend is coming and they don't want to go
home long...then is that random or non-random? It might be random
because the reason they are selling has nothing to do with the market or
the economy,etc, but it might be non-random because the same selling
occurs ahead of every long holiday weekend, making it predictable. (If
predictability is an element by which non-randomity is defined).
