If it was on the nasdaq, and you were a market maker on an ECN, and you removed the bid before the trade actually went through- in order to front run your phony trade, then it wouldnt be considered a block trade. It would be considered a "Ghost Trade", or more accurately "the driving force behind most technology stocks" >>I sold 1.5mil shares of Amat today, and bought them back 30 seconds later.<< >> Would that be considered a block trade? <<
