data

hope everyone's enjoying a nice weekend,

just looking over some of the trading data as per questions last week.

*remember these are broker associated trades, they may have one client, they may have many clients, they may be buying themselves.


for the month to 28th July.
top net change's in millions
(with figure in brackets being actual trade volume)

Hartleys -7 (10.5)
Patersons -6.5 (34.5)
Commsec -4 (37.5)

Merryl +7 (12)
Etrade +3 (15.5)
ABN +3
Tricom +1.8


as you can see most brokers have a fair amount of churn, the likes of etrade and commsec obviously have mass clients that ceate this but other brokers use this to mask dumps or accumulation and/or to try to get the best possible prices either way.


the following data is delayed meaning it may change, however;

Merryl seemed to be the big trader on the 29th value wise, to me that points the finger at them probably being invloved in those large XTrades of 15mil and 2x 5mil trades.
interestingly the 15m trade was off-market???
as yet i don't know if they were the buyer or the seller but either way someone obviously took on that large stake it seems?


as for Friday,
Commsec seemed to be one of the most active, to me thats usually traders but again the data wont be available for a few days.
