Batch Trading

Used one time per day to process transactions which have accrued during the market's off-hours, batch trading involves executing transactional orders in a "batch" as one transaction, typically at the beginning of the market's opening for that day.

So if a trader receives multiple high-volume orders of stocks for various giant inflatable wiggly-arm tube man companies or…other assets…which accumulated during the previous several hours, they will execute a batch trade at market opening to process those transactions.
