A print is an execution, a transaction (a buyer and a seller) at a certain price. If I SOES bot 1000 INTC at 80 1/4, you would instantly see a print at 80 1/4. If you looked at a times and sales report, you would see 1000 INTC 80 1/4. That is a print. We have talked before how it is possible to "jimmie" prints or to trade from one firm account to another account in the same firm, creating the print. Example, stock is 10 1/8 to 10 1/4...you have stop to sell at 10...lots of prints at 10 3/16, then 10 1/8.....they take out the whole bid the stock becomes bid 10, offered at 10 1/8...lots of prints at 10 1/16 BUT THE STOCK NEVER PRINTS AT 10... then the stock becomes bid 10 1/16 without ever printing at 10... My point is, if the you qualify your stop so that it must print at 10, the firm couldnt scoop up your shares at 10 because it never printed at 10...it was BID at 10, but only gathered and stregnthened from there.
