Suretrade you trade in 32nds not decimals. Your limit orders can only be 20% above or below the bid or the ask. If you are trying to walk a stock up or down, well good luck, you sir, are braver than I. On the trade in question your limit order could be 5/32 or 4/32 depending upon whether you were buying or selling. That 1/32 spread between what you could reasonably offer for a bid or an ask in your limit order is the best you can do. To do better you've got to find a BB broker that allows decimal trades then you can squeeze in between the bid and the ask and do some negotiating on your behalf. Actually Suretrade should negotiate a bit for you if you are placing a market order on a stock where the spread is less than 1/32nd. But then sometimes Suretrade prefers to pocket the entire spread what can you expect for 8 bucks a trade it ain't that much doe. <g>
