Does it work the same way with options? One time I tried to buy a call order I put in a limit order for something like 13 (right on the bid) and the ask was maybe 13 1/8. The bid stayed the same and the ask kept moving back and forth between 13 1/8 to 13 1/16 and then to 13 and then back up, without me getting filled.

That happened to me once with an options trade. My broker complained, and the next morning I got my fill at my limit price (as a late--very late--trade).
