Of course so unless someone takes the time to splice trades together, its anyone's guess. Anyway funds trade 10 of thousands and greater every day, again of course broken up.. Nobody but nobody on here does that, or likely anywhere close.
The context was the quoted post that seemed to misunderstand max order quantity and to conflate it with position limit. Goes w/o saying that a large order quantity typically will not show as a single trade in T&S -- tape shows matches to whatever smaller orders are resting or taking.
So to summarize and if understood properly - 1. If Short Sell at the market price, will be shown at the bid. 2. If Short Sell as limit above current price, will be shown at the ask. 3. If Short Sell Stop limit, below current price, will be shown at the ask? Cheers to all!
