<<that is the essence of limit orders in options transactions>>

While I clearly understand the limit order point of view, my experience early on in options and stock trading was to use market orders. I've backed away from the options area over the last several years(except here lately), but executed several hundred options trades per year from about 1987-1992. After missing many a trade because of unfilled limit orders that appeared to be executable, I made the switch. Only market orders for me. If they won't work in a particular environment, I don't play there.

JMHO,

Cooters
