Rascal: I received a reply from I-Watch answering my questions: "While 95% of all brokers report over the AutEx System, they unfortunately do not report 100% of their trades which means that, no, AutEx does not always represent 95% of all institutional trading volume. The retail portion reflects trades reported through brokers who typically trade on behalf of retail traders - this includes online systems, such as Knight/Trimark and Charles Schwab. The "Non I-Watch" portion (gray area) of the Reported Volume Chart refers to trades not reported over the AutEx system. Broker participation on AutEx is voluntary so it is rare that all trading volume is accounted for. The trades can be related to either institutional or retail trading." I guess that clears up our misunderstandings of the I-Watch pie chart. David T.
