VWAP

Imported from previous forum

How would one send an IOI that you want to trade at the VWAP, rather than at a specific price? For example, pre-market open, we want to notify our clients that we want to buy 100,000 DIS at today’s VWAP…

option 1:
send a obviously bogus price, and put VWAP in the comment field

option 2:
send a projected price, and put VWAP in the comment field

option 3:
add an additional qualifier for VWAP, and don’t require a price

option 4:
add an additional qualifier for VWAP, and enter a bogus price

option 5:
change price to be an alphanumeric field, and allow VWAP as a value

Any thoughts?
