Things have changed a fair bit over the last decade or so. Have a look how ,much changes hands in the end of day auctions, HEAPS of big orders move through there as they don't trigger the trading bots.

Yeah I realise things have changed heaps over the last 10 years. Saw a video back then of bots placing orders on and off the market in the 1000's per second.
