Order Size Interval

A useful feature may be to determine the normal frequency of round-sized trades, and monitor deviations from that expected value. The ML algorithm could, for example, determine if a larger-than-usual proportion of round-sized trades is associated with trends, as human traders tend to bet with a fundamental view, belief, or conviction. Conversely, a lower-than-usual proportion of round-sized trades may increase the likelihood that prices will move sideways, as silicon traders do not typically hold long-term views.
