I basically got off margin and retired from active trading when a partnership my parents bought in a NYC building got swept up into the Empire State Realty Trust, ESRT, so I have no need of level 2. I do watch the 2-day chart at Fidelity, which shows open-high-low-close and volume for each minute at your cursor. 134,000 could well be one trade; 133,467 probably more.
I just picked 20,000 because anything under that is surely just us guys playing around, unless there are multiple such in many consecutive minutes. I also amuse myself by watching the time between trades during the quiet periods, and whether they are broken by trades of 10,000+ or 400. I think sometimes the small trades just mean that the market makers don't want you to think they've gone home.
Thanks for clarifying your previous post. I wasn't quite sure what/if to respond, but I've always thought of you as one of the good guys. No offense taken.
