I really don't feel stumped. There is no way you will definitively find out about that one Form T trade. The original question was "what is a Form T trade"...There is umpteen reasons it could be classified as a Form T as thie link describes. http://www.nasd.com/web/groups/rules_regs/documents/rule_filing/nasdw_018332.pdf page 2
who knows..We have had many Form T trades over the years, it seems especially prevalent with high volume days..What I don't follow is coals "it has to be a conversion" thinking...thanks
It could be as simple as one of the following..
Trades done directly between two parties off of the electronic market. They still must be recorded electronically, so they get recorded as a T-Trade.
A Protected Trade. A protected trade occurs when someone wants to trade a large chunk of stock without affecting the price, so it is broken up and bought/sold a little at a time, then recorded as a T-Trade at the end of the day.
