Hardline....clicking on 'All or None' puts you on the bottom of the list, even when others are after you in ordering. Don't click on it if you want a faster order. Also click 'Good until Cancelled' (goes faster than if you clicked Good for Today). Roger

Roger gave you some good advise. Your lucky that the "all or none" didn't work for you because this is considered a "special order" which would mean you would not get a quick execution. With the way the price was dropping you never would have gotten your price using this. Also what he mentioned about using GTC over Good for Day is true. They get executed faster but you can't use it for a market order. If you use it and your limit order doesn't get filled don't forget to cancel your order if you only wanted it filled that day.
