T Trades In the OTC T trades are almost always without exception late prints. Say you were an insider,finance guy who has a large block of shares to sell. You can tell your broker you want to sell xxx amount of shares at the best possible price. He turns the order over to a market maker with whom is firm has a order flow agreement with.The broker normally monitors the progress of the order thru out the day.

At the end of the day the market maker will place a T Trade print on the tape for an accumulated total of the average price the shares were sold if there is still a balance left to sell.If the entire order had been sold it would have gone on the print as normal trades during hours.

The same can happen for large buy orders as stated above.
Sometimes the trade may have been completed earlier in the day. However the seller or buyer was unsure of the amount to sell or buy and the book was left open,and those trades are printed at the end of the day.

In some rare occasions the final print may have been forgotten to be entered and those are listed as T Trades also.
