tamanho de execução
1. The quantity or volume of a trade order that is executed in financial markets, typically referring to the number of shares, contracts, or units traded in a single transaction
The execution size of the order was 10,000 shares, which required the broker to split it into multiple transactions to minimize market impact.
O tamanho de execução da ordem foi de 10.000 ações, o que exigiu que o corretor a dividisse em várias transações para minimizar o impacto no mercado.
2. In trading and investment contexts, the actual quantity of securities bought or sold when an order is filled
Due to low liquidity, the execution size was reduced from the originally requested amount.
Devido à baixa liquidez, o tamanho de execução foi reduzido do valor originalmente solicitado.
This term is primarily used in financial and investment contexts in both Brazil and the United States. It is technical jargon common among traders, brokers, and institutional investors. In Brazil, the term is increasingly used as the financial market has grown, particularly in São Paulo's B3 stock exchange (formerly Bovespa).
