.845 after hours... read the codes

posted on Dec 18, 2007 12:49PM

What do the letters mean on the left hand side of the "Time & Sales" column?

The "Time & Sales" column of the Quotemodule tool displays the "Trade Indicator" code on the left side of the column. A normal trade will have no Trade Indicators.

Here are the original code descriptions:

a = acquisition
b = bunched trade - average price
c = cash trade
d = distribution
e = automatic execution
g = bunched sold trade - opening/reopening trade detail
h = intraday trade detail
i = basket index on close transaction
j = rule 127 trade
k = rule 155 trade
l = sold last
n= next day

o = opened
p = prior reference price
r = seller
s = split trade
t = form t trade - pre/post market trade
u = extended hours trade - reported late or out of sequence
w = average price trade
y = yellow flagged regular trade
z = sold - out of sequence

If the two trades after hours were "out of sequence" (from earlier in the day) I would think they would be coded "z" rather than "t".

BTW, it sounds like a couple of MMs are too short... they can not find the shares to purchase, so they 'limit' buy orders from the retail side (you and me).

Did we not see this same pattern last week? We shot up to .76 give or take only to get walked down to .66? Look at what ONE HOUR did to the price on Friday when those shares were bought back.

Today's "walk down" is another example. For those that did buy today, and are new, PLEASE look at the DD page (someone please post the DD page again... for the NOOBs). You may bwe sitting on a one day "loss" of up to 15%, but closing numbers, as you see above, can be manipulated.
