Sometimes you see a great daytrade, but the market forbids it. Today, DELL opened at about 63, down some 6 points from yesterday's close. It was obvious that DELL would rebound at least temporarily, so I put in a limit order at 63 3/8, and the stock stalled there for over a minute. Should have filled. But the MM was off autoex. The trade never filled and DELL took off to 66 without me. (Tried the same thing as DELL went up, but with smaller trades, and nothing worked until I tried just 100 shares, not enough to make money with.) Gary Korn
