<<The limit is imposed so that they don't have to be burdened with orders that are unlikely to be filled.>> Thanks for the explanation, I use to use a very conservative brokerage house which had a 25% limit. I understand the reasoning on this but on some stocks (usually the lower priced ones) it makes it requires a person to expend an above normal amount of time monitoring the movement so if I owned a stock for $5/share and wanted to sell it when it hit $7 I'd have to babysit it until it hit around $5.60.
