Size

Fancy Way to Say: Large order When a larger than average order takes place in a stock it is said to be in size. For a thin stock which trades 20,000 shares a day and rarely sees one individual trade of more than 1,000 shares size may be anything in the realm of four figures. For a highly liquid stock size may mean in the hundreds of thousands. It's all relative but comes down to the individual issue.
