Morning all.

Hi Annabelle:

The designation for the trades you refer your question to is XTSXOS

XT = Crossed trade. This is when a trade happens at only one broker and does not involve a second broker. Usually because a client wants to send stock from one portfolio to another.

SX = special crossing. Probably a portfolio rebalance for one reason or another.

OS = Overseas. Possibly GSJBW or another of the of the overseas Instutions.

Hope this helps.

If you use Commsuck you can go to Course of trades and press the help button. This drops down a window which describes the abbreviations used in the course of trades listing.

Hope this helps..

Stu.

p.s. I thought so too Stef..
