Thanks to you, Scott and Lisa for your responses..
The issue is that I had cancelled an order (more specifically limit to sell at 14) and immediately fired off a new sell limit at 14 1/2. The second order never went thru cause the schwab screen came back saying I had no such position, and when I checked, I thought it said I got filled limit at 14. Whn I went back to check after the close, it turns out the 14 order did not get off. Looking at the time and sales for that particular option, 10 minutes after my attempted cancel/change, there was a 'filtered' trade with my exact position at the original 14 sell price in a sea of $12 trades. It's that filered thing I want to find out about. I wouldnt bitch so much about it except for the fact that it wiped out 2 days of profits; now that the plunge protection team shot the markets back up, I'm f***ed.

I dont know how you all can post so much when the mkt is doing it's thing - my hat's off to you all. I have a tough enough time switching back and forth between screens to keep track of all these indicators, much less to see what you all are up to! Hope you all had a great few days with all this movement :)

Thanks again,
Christine
