Robert, You might also consider simply using a limit order with a price set slightly beyond the current bid or ask (depending on whether you're buying or selling). You're likely to get that first fill at the right price while avoiding the risk of nasty subsequent fills. Sometimes when the price is approaching a level where I wish to trade, I'll set up the trading input screen in advance with a limit order, ready to pull the trigger with one keystroke. If the price continues to move beyond my price point, I'll let it run until it stalls, then I hit the key. AdvocateDevil
