It depends on.. appears that the ISLD is quite segregated now, got no fills in 3 looming stocks, baby size orders. OTOH I bought at the bids when a stock was falling but recovering later Today I got my MALL which I didn't get yesterday. What I noticed was alarming weak bid sizes presented by the MMs so in one case I took 3 bids to unload 1500 shares. In another case (IPO) a market sale went off 3/8, or 3% off the current bid. Did you try BAMM, or ISLD stock? Maybe the others know something we don't know yet.

your unusual order is similar to mine.. I placed a limit sell order equivalent to the bid at that time... my order didn't fill for almost 2mins. even though the bid price remain the same w/ my limit sell and never change at all and no other executions either buy or sell all those time.. also, my limit sell never showed up on the ISLD too..I finally got an execution after that and get a "free commissions" after all... I think the problem is w/ Datek puter though...
