I have used Cyber for about a year now and believe your interpretation of the 5 minute rule is wrong
Following is an edited printout from yesterdays trading in JDSU. You will notice that there are free fills that are several minutes apart at different prices. You can also see that I did a buy to cover followed a buy long 2 minutes later that was also "free" (free does not include ECN charges).
