jans,

This is amazing. It's 3 pm 12/18 and I am just now seeing this post. I
thought it curious that there was no feedback on the 123theory. Now I know
it was cyberdrama.

In order to identify retail vs block trade, I called my Schwab team and had
them pull the tick data from their Reuters screen. I gave them several
stocks over a period of time and had them calculate the % of trades under
and above a threshold that would typically indicate retail vs. institutional
block trades. On EPIQ, the trading is somewhat thinner than most, so we set
the threshold at 5000 shares. But on all the rest of the stocks we reviewed,
the threshold was set at 10000.
