I have a question regarding the filling of orders on AMEX options exchange for stock options. On Friday I placed a limit order to purchase 10 DIS-FC options at 1 3/8 in the early afternoon. At 2:32.17 there was a print reported for 10 contracts at that price and I was subsequently notified that I received a partial fill of 6 contracts. The data I was using was of the internet, so I requested that my broker confirm via a times-in-trade. The times-in-trade reported confirmed that my fill was part of that 10 contract fill. My question is, Why would I only be filled on 6 out of the 10 I bid? And, Is it common for the traders on the floor to combine orders and report as one fill? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wayde.

Hey Alan missed your candle alerts Friday btw, did the candles predict the sharp move up Friday here is an interesting watch list from Berney starting point for everyone's own analysis btw, alot of people are liking GE right now(except maybe Judy because of her refrigerator) I wonder what Kevin's "GE OPTION MAN" is doing right now.... Hey Kevin...checked him out lately????? To: +MonsieurGonzo (3036 ) From: +Berney Saturday, Jun 13 1998 11:08PM ET Reply # of 3041 Steve, Spendt most of May playing with TA stuff. Here's what I got so far. It clearly isn't complete but a work in progress. I'm also expanding it to the 70 or so companies with a market cap greater than $40B. Then, using the MACD of a weekly bearish with trend changing and daily clearly bullish, combined with the degree of potential move to the target, I think it will provide a great watch list.
