Offsetting a client’s buys and sells in the same security on the same day, so that only the net position goes to settlement.
Why most of a busy day’s turnover leaves no trace anywhere. Buy and sell the same shares before the close and nothing is delivered.
The number of shares that actually move between demat accounts at settlement, after same-day client-level netting.
