On stocks I've seen lots of traders put in "dummy" orders which can send a lot of people into a spin in order to help price move even a few cents in their favour. I don't trust tape on stocks at all!
Nick,

Tape reading and looking at the order depth are different. Reading the tape basically means reading WHAT HAS HAPPENED in the past tense sense.

I do trust it because it is what helps form tactics for the next session or time relevant session.
