When I first started using Island you had to re-enter your order after a partial fill and pay a few bucks more. Now that's changed. It made me think that maybe ISLD wasn't necessarily always ISLD. I try not to assume too much and ask around. I'm also a little paranoid... Also, I wasn't talking about the market moving AWAY from me--that's no problem. It's when it moves in my favor, without me first getting filled: Then I get locked or crossed which cancels me out. Normally, you would be glad to be cancelled, because the market moved in your favor and you can now reenter at a better price. But in a wildly fluctuating market, if you are desperate, you just want a fill, and it can be very hard to catch.
