Most orders go to the floor as limit price or better. By the time it got to the floor if the trade was better, you got the price. A lot depends on the specialists that the firm has under contract IMO. that is the controversy....about what happens on that floor and people are always talking about how they get screwed... does the option guy see an order coming in and change the bid and ask...does the brokerage house screw them....etc etc etc etc etc... and remember I SOLD to close at the high of the day my order was entered around 4:05 after I got off the phone with the broker....i logged into the real time quote site (never really REAL time) and there were quotes at my limit order price going off....but since I dont have time and sales I dont have anything to compare to.. futures holding up pretty well considering what the foreign markets are doing
