Lesson is that the only guarantee you have is that the bid can't drop below yours without your buy order being executed, and can't rise above your offer without your sell order being executed. Thanks for the great explanation to Craig. Now try this... I put in a limit buy order for 200 BROD at 21 5/8 several hours before the market opened. After the open, some stock apparently changed hands at 21 1/2, because this is listed as the low of the day, then the price jumped up into the 22+ range. I never got filled. BROD trades on the NASDAQ, and I know from previous posts by DATEK that sometimes they are unable to fill what is obstensibly a marketable order on the NASDAQ because they have to send the order to various MM one at a time. Is this what happened to me? Or is there some other reason I would not have gotten filled?
