    Hi All,

    I was wondering why a computer system would purchase a large number of small volume (less than $300)  stock during the day?

    For example I noticed this on one stock code I hold :
    Column 1 Column 2
    0 Time Volume
    1 11:45 104
    2 11:30 97
    3 11:20 101
    4 11:15 103
    and so on.... (it ranged from 97 to 108 in each settlement).

    There was actually a large amount of stock for sale at the given price which finally reduced from 12,500 to 6,000 by the end of day just because of this trader (or computer system).
