I have seen this too. I agree with Coffer's assessment, computers and algorithms plus a whole bunch of simultaneous sells (or buys in other situations) attempting to be filled simultaneously. Think of the complexity of it. I would think that if 10 trades of 100 shares were all placed simultaneously for a particular stock at a certain price, if there is less than 1000 shares available at that price, then I would think they would all be filled partially and then the system moves to the next lot. In a gap down then there are a whole goop of orders to fill, a very complex situation.

On a positive note, #4 is rocking and rolling today. On a day like today, I can wish I had not sold 40% of my position at lower prices, but I followed my rules, so I was successful and profitable. I can't help but wonder how #4 price would increase if the winds were at our backs. This one will pull back and that is when I will look to re-enter with shares sold earlier and get back to a 100% position.

It is nice to have success like this one especially, since I got beat up by having a couple of the recent bio-techs that failed to move up in my portfolio.
