All of these trades, reported after hours were, according to my L2 legend, something called "(Z) Sold last sale - same as OPRA OSEQ". The OSEQ must mean out of sequence.
You don't see much reported after hours on this stock, ever, so it's definitely weird. The OPRA thing is Options Price Reporting Authority.
From opradata.com:
"OPRA is a computer system that disseminates, on a current and continuous basis, information about transactions that occurred on the options markets."
What all of this means is a total guess (options activity happening for EXPH???) but if you're interested here's a link to OPRA:
Pay attention to how the MMs use the out of sequence trades to try stop the momentum..It didn't work today..Also take a look at the trades that went off at .009 yet the ask never got there..Of course they were out of sequence..The MMs' didn't want the ask to get to .009 so they hid those trades..The buying pressure today was just too much for the MMs and whatever shorts were out there that had to run to cover their recent sells..The MM's got caught today with their hand in the cookie jar and if you send anything in to the SEC..ask them to explain the .009 trades today and the lack of movement of the ask to that level..
The good news is..EXPH was put on a lot of traders radars today and we will see if the upward pressure is sustainable..What the flippers don't care about is what news we are expecting..They just want to be able to get in quickly and get out just as fast..
I said the other night that it was good to see the penny traders starting to show up again..Like I told that poster..this time the run should last longer and to each their own..
IMO..great 3rd quarter numbers and the retail announcement should make for a higher base..TIA for your continued diligence...veno
