MQG, 120 trades were placed by us, only 8 trades were larger than 1000 shares or 7% of our total trades
BTA, 37 trades were placed by us, 22 trades were larger than 1000 shares or 59% of our total trades
BTA - 40% of the total day’s trades were made at the price of 2.25, whilst 65% of our trades were performed at the price of 2.24 vs 32% of the entire trades for the day at that price.
I think this explains why the BTA VWAP was higher than us - we were making the majority of our trades at a price lower than what most of the trades were for that day.
We have to take a different approach with this because it shows our MQG results were better than BTA - see the variance. I think this is because we had 120 trades in much smaller parcels vs 37 trades in BTA. So therefore we were able to spread our risk more across the different price

    1) This was a 2nd entry short coming off a larger double top soon after the regular market open this morning. Notice that you could have taken the first entry off the DT, but because it was so close to the open, it was probably better to wait a few minutes and not get trapped on the wrong side of the early morning move that usually happens right after the 8:30 AM CST opening. If you took the first entry which was one tick below the arrow, then it was a good trade all the same and it was not wrong to go short there. By waiting on the 2nd entry we got a 2nd entry short off a double top with a lower higher indicating that buyers were getting weaker and sellers were getting stronger. This was an easy short and any runners were safe as well and worth as many as 7 points depending on where you exited.…

    The growth in buybacks comes as overall stock-market volume has slumped, helping magnify the impact of repurchases. In mid-August, about 25% of nonelectronic trades executed at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., excluding the small, automated, rapid-fire trades that have come to dominate the market, involved companies buying back shares. That is more than twice the long-run trend, according to a person familiar with the matter.…
