Beats mine...
For some reason, I got nailed at the start. Bid was 1.35, Ask 1.45 on the DIA 92. I got 1.60 (market order). I called my broker and asked how that happened (it was a full hour before it got up to 1.60 again).

I'm hoping to salvage something here...I'm in the money, but barely. If I get 1.45 or 1.4 (or even if the commission is waived), I can still squeeze $100 out of this.
But I think there's a bit of upside in the AM.

Well, after complaining, the response I got back was that I placed a market order (I did) and the offer at that point was 1.60. Last time I do a market order. I decided to do that just to get a faster fill. Thing is, I keep forgetting how these assholes gouge you every chance they get.
1.60 may have been the offer for 1/1000th of a second, but I happened to get sucker punched with it.
