đ What are Block Trades and why does the âStrong Handâ use them?
âWhen large investment funds move millions of dollars, they donât place their orders directly in the public order book of an exchange to avoid the price jumping up or down against them (Slippage).
âHow do they operate?
âThey use Block Trades (block operations): large-size transactions negotiated privately at a fixed price agreed upon between two institutions.
âOnce they are completed, they are required to report the order to the official registry to ensure transparency.
âWhy should you care as a trader?
âTracking these orders lets you see where institutions are positioning their capital before the move becomes evident in retail charts.
