Several things on fills: 1. I "watched" Irby catch Yahoo in its opening minutes while the numbers were flying all over the place on its first or second big up day. Cool, I thought. I'll try that. Well, I tried it on another stock and got filled, then it turned, flying even faster, in the first 15 minutes and I couldn't figure how to get out! Up to this point I'd been good at setting mental stop loss numbers and executing if the trade moved against me. But not at those speeds. I may change that tactic or stick to slower moving stocks or resume sitting out at least the first 15 minutes. I usually use Island and have never placed a "market" order. ARCA always takes too long. 2. AJ: I thought SOES trades were limited to 200 shares. 3. AJ: Please join SI. Your comments are really great.
