Hi SA,

That is an excellent observation.

I've experimented with an at market order and it almost always fills at the bid.

If I place an order at the bid via a limit order - more often than not I;ll get a better fill.

If I place multiple orders with in a recent time frame and the fill keeps going up - I know I can sell more shares.

If the fill starts to decline in a fractional number - I know the demand for buying is drying up - very often resulting in a declining bid price.

After all its just supply and demand eh.<smile>

In general I almost never place an "At Market" order.

I've never used all or nothing option.

Great post and insight!

Thanks SA !

Bob
