Funny trade volumes?????? (PLR2)     

seawallwalker - 28 Jul 2004 16:04

In the last hour there are many trades nearly all buys for 199 shares of PLR.

Is this someone trying to manipulate the price?

I've seen this kind of thing before - always odd amounts - on different
companies and I was
told on here (can't remember who by) that chances are they are Bots
trades.

Well it's only a thought...hopefully if anyone else has any bright ideas
they will post, but there's not many in here today.

sw - they are what has been termed pirhana bots. It is a large buy order being filled by a computer at a certain price. They were there yesterday, but the price fell through, but when it got back to 121-122p today the computer saw and restarted it's instructions.
