"i notice similar situations with limit orders where limits are outside of current bid/ask - on many occassions trades have gone thorugh at my price yet i remain unexecuted until the limit is reached"

Do you really mean to say this? Limits are OUTSIDE of current bid/ask? If so, you aren't entitled to a fill. Even if your limit is INSIDE the current bid/ask, you aren't entitled to a fill. You only are if your bid is >= the inside bid, or your offer is <= the inside offer.

If you see trades "going through" outside of the current bid/ask, then most likely they are late posts. A lot of that lately.

Quirky timestamps - yea. Datek certainly has quirky timestamps.
