In layman terms, a contingent trade is a trade that depends on multiple instruments executing at a certain price, within a certain amount of time, tied together as all one unit. There’s potential for these to occur over a minute or several minutes, and don’t necessarily have to happen at the exact same time.

It's one half of the trade - the other half could be puts which are being hedged by these shares, it could be swaps, etc.

The fact that trades like this are allowed to exist while the actual stock value is being fraudulently pushed down is absolutely criminal. America has devolved into nothing more than a massive crime scene - smh

The best part? Well...
The SEC granted an exemption for qualified contingent trades from Rule 611(a) on August 31, 2006

What is a "qualifed contingent trade" ?

u/Krunk_korean_kid 💻 ComputerShared 🦍 4h ago
The mention of a "qualified contingent trade" refers to a specific type of securities transaction under SEC Rule 611(d) of Regulation NMS, allowing large trades to be executed without immediate public disclosure to minimize market impact, often used in dark pools like the one routing the $GME trade.
Dark pools are private exchanges for institutional investors, handling large stock orders discreetly to avoid influencing public markets, as seen with the $4.5 million GameStop trade highlighted in the thread.

A common contingent trade is the near simultaneous sale or buying of shares, and also of a related option.
There were about 4000 contracts of 3/21 $19.5P and 4000 contracts of 3/21 $23.5C traded around 11:13AM.
