Thanks! This makes sense. I suspected that it was a vendor error all along. It all but certain is. For FINRA trades, this vendor's timestamps start to differ from those of my other feeds, once before 9:30am or after 4pm. The further away from reg hours, the bigger the difference.

Thank you. This seems relevant. But I still probably need to call TRF to truly understand this. Appreciate your help and insight.

Here is another example, SPY on 2/23. This time, it is the original JSON under UTC time stamp: trades { SPY [ [0] { c [ [0] " ", [1] “T” ], i 79371804230221, p 432, s 150, t “2022-02-23T06:06:39.912Z”, x “D”, z “B” }, [1] { c [ [0] " ", [1] “T”, [2] “I” ], i 79371804167990, p 432, s 3, t...

I also considered the possibility that those Finra prints where left over from the previous day (w/ vendor messing things up and reporting on the next day). But that guess was proven false.

I already adjusted for the TZ of course. The prints shown are for NY times.

I have a data vendor (which does not provide any support) feeding me such SIP trade data for AAPL on 3/1/22: 013416.450|165|1|D|103|@~T~I 014749.102|165|1|D|93|@~T~I 015650.512|165|1|D|104|@~T~I 015840.911|164.7|1|D|99|@~T~I 020441.128|164.7|1|D|108|@~T~I 020616.368|165|5|D|92|@~T~I...

No problem Thanks for trying.

I did. As expected, they simply replied that it was already deprecated and no longer supported.

Does anyone know the source of such data, from such deprecated EClient API call (with reportType='ReportsOwnership')? void reqFundamentalData ( int reqId, Contract contract, string reportType, List< TagValue > fundamentalDataOptions ) It cannot be the Thompson-Reuters Ownership data, as...

When a dual-listed Canadian share is acquired and when the payout is in Canadian dollars, for a US investor, 1) Would she receive US dollars, or Canadian dollars? Is this broker-dependent? 2) If US dollars, does the broker set the exchange rate? 3) Is the cash payout subject to Canadian...

If tendering is the only way to elect the preferred form of payment (in case the default election sucks), then you may have to tender though.

Thanks for you reply. Then can a "traditional" (aka "one-step") merger offer target company shareholders an election of the merger consideration form? If so, would such an election still be regarded as a "tender"? https://www.wallstreetprep.com/knowledge/tender-offer-vs-merger/

If I own shares of a company that is being acquired, and if there is a voluntary election of the form of merger consideration (e.g. cash, acquiring company's shares), and I indeed make an election, then what happens to my shares? Would I still, after election but before the closing of the...

What you mentioned sounds like someone who shorted shares that got delisted -- so he could not cover the borrow and had to wait for the shares to be cancelled and deemed worthless by DTC. Lessons there: Don't be a pig --- if you shorted something correctly, don't try to get the last penny.

Transfer agent probably will hang up on short sale borrowers, who are really not company investors. For short positions, probably can request a cash cover value from broker. Likely will get a rip-off number. Guess one must be very vigilant on corporate actions when short selling.

Thanks for sharing your (and friends/family's) stories... Real world is a messy place.

Suppose you short some a stock over an ex-date when the stock has a spinoff of non-tradable shares of another company (or some non-transferrable contingent valuation rights, etc.) I guess the brokers typically would call in the borrow before the ex-date. But if they did not, then you the...

Answering OP and Temujin79: I mis-spoke in my last msg. There were thousands of "lots" (not shares) displayed on both bid and ask. So there were hundreds of thousands shares displayed and in competition with OP's 3000 shares offered. So OP's 3K offered is really a very small percentage of...

Got it. FYI, settlement has moved to T+2 a while ago. So it would be buy-in at T+3 these days (except for market makers who get bought in at T+6). Talking about unfairness!

I took a quick look. During time period [10:30:00.000, 10:59:59.999), 2.944855MM shares traded at 1.14, of which 0.560532MM shares traded on exchanges and 2.384323MM shares traded off exchange. During this time, the displayed offer size at 1.14 ranged from 3K+ to 5K+. I am not familiar with...
