Hey Surf. Let's hope that bull is ready to take us for another ride. Good article. Thanks.

Don't know what to make of today's action.

As usual I was watching several stocks, the market depths, and the trading action, thinking ahead to how it would affect the charts.

Then I placed a couple of large orders.
Then nothing happened.
My orders didn't appear on the market depth.
I called Non-Action Direct. They told me they were having trouble confirming orders.

An hour and half later, my orders still hadn't appeared, and in light volume the stocks in question had slid lower.
Now two hours after the close, I still don't know if I was filled.

So, I am left wondering how many orders weren't showing up, in how many stocks.

In these circumstances, the market depths, the closing prices, and the charts are useless to us.

Makes it even more of a crap shoot. I guess the houses weren't winning often enough, so the borkers have figured out a way to slant the playing field even more in their favour.
