Key points

  • It is used to follow institutional and foreign money flows.
  • Persistent net buying by certain brokers can be read as accumulation and persistent net selling as distribution.
  • broker trades include client orders and do not reflect the broker’s own view.

Formula / calculation

Net lots = Buy lots − Sell lots; Net TL = Buy value − Sell value; Average cost = Buy value / Buy lots. Yatırımcı.AI stock pages list the largest net buyers and sellers for the selected period.

Interpretation

Persistent net buying by certain brokers can be read as accumulation and persistent net selling as distribution. Net buying by foreign-heavy brokers signals foreign interest, while buying via retail-heavy brokers signals individual interest.

Pitfalls

broker trades include client orders and do not reflect the broker’s own view. Intraday round trips net out and stay hidden. It is not a directional signal by itself; read it with volume and price.
