Chris; Let me know if that 1/64 fills..yiks ! I'l holler id my 1/32 fills.. sometimes I think it's your broker and who they feed the bid/ask to..I found that some brokers while you get a discount only feed to certain market makers..( they get a piece of the spread from the market maker ) also some brokers hold positions in the highly traded NYSE stocks and fill orders right out of their own inventory. Like when I do a sell or buy of say 300 CPQ.. if I hit market it moves that second..broker takes or gives it to me. It's then sent to the exchange as part of a bigger package, If I do limit..it will sit untill package is ready at that price. Sometimes if my limit is at bid or ask it will move fast, but not always, some times I get better with the limit.. but not so with market..I get the exact quote..bid or ask.. were I have got improvements on limit orders. Thing is they may not take..if the stock is trending. Jim
