I only use limit orders.A few examples of some fills.

INTC was at 57 and I entered a sell at 57 3/4.It sat there for about a half hour before the stock ran up.I got filled on half at 3/4 and half at 7/8.Remember that Fido sells order flow.

YHOO was running up and I placed a short order at 195 1/2.A few mins. later I was filled.When I looked at my T&S the highest ask was 195 with one trade at 195 5/2 and 5/8? Maybe someone can explain why I see trades below the lowest bid of the day and above the highest ask of the day.

I have bought at the bid many times but they only let me short at the ask once.Once again remember that they sell order flow and I thought that they would only let you buy at the inside ask.

BTW..I only trade very active stocks like INTC,DELL and some of the internets.
