Below is an extract from a recent post of mine, on probably another 88E Thread, that, sorry, I can no longer find :

Large parcels (> 4m) tradedsince occurred (on 29 March) at

3.26.18pm 34 Trades Vol. 10m exactly, @ 3.5c

3.26.22pm 33 Trades Vol. 6.623848m, @ 3.5c

3.59.50pm 37 Trades Vol. 4.495420m,. @ 3.4c (Note as the last large parcel forthe day )

There were several smaller parcels traded in that 33 minutes (between 3.26.18pm & 3.50.50pm above).
I.e: x # of trades at the same time – to the second - of parcels of ~2.0m, @ either 3.4 or 3.5c.

If any other eccentric like me would like to fathom out this info – for any stock – any time any day

go to your online broker’s Course of Sales page and click on the Download CSV box, which on Commsec's page is at the bottom r.h. cnr.

((Note: you can always do this – for the whole of the days’ trades if need be – after trading has ceased for the day, right up to the time your online broker deletes it from the Course of Sales page – which in my experience – is by around 7.30am the next day,as some of you may have noticed 2 “Cross” trades (XT) that occurred with 88E a few days ago – at ~7.57.xx am, on successive? days. I think these 2 trades were between the ASX & some other country’s exchange)).

This action (per Commsec's Download tab) immediately places the data on a blank Excel .csv file page.

Widen then the 1st Col. (Col. A), on that Excel file page, to show you the trade times listed.

Then save the file as an Excel workbook file.

Then scan visually scan that Col A. for multiple trades at exactly the same time for the same price. You’ll get many trades, of maybe 10 to 20 at once,but because they’re so numerous, and for smaller parcels of ~1 to 2m, I only bother with a batch of a larger #s of trades at the 1 time.

I then highlight the vols. for each of the trades (say > 20) at the 1 time, copy that data into Col. H, and then highlight down the page each cell's data there, which tells you down the bottom r.h. corner of your screen :

Average (vol. pertrade) Count (# of trades) and Sum (total vol. of such trades).

I tend to ignore Average – both on Open time, and the Auction time – of 4.10.xxpm, when it’s my understanding that most if not all these “afterhours” trades are between brokers, and

- which you will note too are all at exactly the same price, and

- not always @ the same price of the last trade before 4.00pm.

This methodology was the foundation for my 1^st post

on the Thread EFFECT on SP post SPUD DATEAnns on 14 March

to point out the increased activity of this sort, once an oil explorer like 88E, had announced its Spud date.
