Jon, you get fills at the bid regularly on Datek? Is this on stocks in downdrafts, ready to tick down anyway? I have tried many, many times and can never truly say that I've been filled at the bid unless the bid immediately moved down after my fill. I don't really consider this a bid fill, although I guess technically it is. What is it that you (and others) are doing that allow these bid fills on buys? And similarly ask fills on sells, I presume? BTW, I regularly use your Express Server and feels it benefits me a great deal. Thanks. Gary
