I agree but if it was a seller, I should have been able to buy those shares at $23 5/8 instead of anyone else who was bidding less. If it was a buyer, he should never have been filled since there were others bidding more and the ask never got anywhere near $23. It was probably a seller. Not only did s/he get screwed, so did those of us who were bidding more than $23 at the time. Market orders do (should) not get filled lower than the best bid or higher than the best ask: at least not when there is someone other than a MM or specialist, who may move the bid or ask just to screw the poor sole who placed the market order, on the bid or ask.
