Im more concerned about the few who subscribe and throw a couple
hundred million of their hedge fund money at at. even then
its still a drop in the bucket.

Well, still might be nice to spread out the buys somehow, but
maybe hard to do that in a 10 minute period ...just do the After
hours or other etfs I guess...of course, then one can't just
look at the trade's results as a proxy.
I mean, if one didn't really care not using the system
results instead of keeping track of one's own one could use a
variety of etfs similar to the spy...mid cap, etc...
And I think cwa82675's point is (?) that the amount could
actually be a lot bigger if there are several multi-million chunks
from some members. $200 mill or more doesn't seem like a
stretch.
That's the same daily data I found. The question still is, how
does $50-500 mill stack up within the volume of the 5-10-minute
time slot at the end of the day, especially if trading is otherwise
thin.
Looking at 10 min bars for the last number of days it
looks like the 3:50 to 4:00 period trades about 3 to 10 million
shares although I'm sure there could be a wider range on some
days.
Im more concerned about the

Then early buyers/sellers benefit, right?

My chart shows the 50 day avg vol is 177 million. BTW today is only on track to do about half that.
Thanks, bkout
