Someone help me understand.. This morning I wanted to buy TSCP. The bid was 10 3/4. Put in my order to limit buy at 10 7/8. Little bit later saw some trades a bid of 10 7/8. Ok so I got passed. Most of the day, trades at ask of 11 1/8. Bid stays at 10 7/8 About 3:30pm, no action for the day. I cancelled my order. The bid immediately dropped to 10 3/4. Not to be outdone I put in another order limit at 11. Bid changed to ll. Stock trades at 11, but not my order. Stock closes at 11. Alright, what gives. I obviously was setting the bid, but kept getting no execution even though someone else was. Ideas?
