Sorry bmrchad. It is on my overview screen for the individual stock, shows various price ranges for the hour, day, week, 10 day, month, YTD, etc.. On the right side of that screen shows that stock's share and dividend info and such and will show "last trade" amount which is the numbers I am talking about.

Like right now as of writing this, there was an 11,111 "last trade size" order processed but volume is showing about 11,200??? Price sits in the red still like it has a thousand times in the last 5 months.

Stocks are not futures contracts. Futures are a net sum zero game whereas a buyer is needed for every selelr and vice versa. Stocks are shares of company ownership issued for a corporation and there are only so many legally available to be bought up total. This is also what is strange seeing this especially with rbrm and huge MOC orders even on days of low volume or no share movement, someone does an order for 276,000 shares for instance, and the price sits but it is showing as "1 order". I remember one days weeks ago where there was no real heavy volume alld ay and after close I watch a "last trade size" order stating 876,000 shares! I have seen many dozens of such buy orders being done right at or near close which puzzles me and I'd like an explanation too.
