You put in an order for 800 shares. You traded 300 with one of the MM's from your notes that responded in 5 seconds. The other 500 went to one of the other MM's you mentioned. He responded in 30 seconds with a 500 share fill. There are several good books that explain the basic of how the Nasdaq Stock Market market works. I know one called "The Electronic Day Trader" published by McGraw Hill, Authors Friedfertig and West. It may help you to better understand the fundamentals.

In one post you are a genius... I held a series 7 from 1986 to just last year when I retired to daytrade. I had not opperated as a stockbroker but found that the license was easy to get and covered the DPP's I was involved in. In another one you are a moron... "ALTHOUGH THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC TRADING PLATFORM AND EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN A MILLI-SECOND, YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR A MARKET MAKER TO HOLD YOUR ORDER FOR 30 SECONDS IF THEY ARE BUSY"? I can't tell if you should open up your very own ecn and trading office or if you should give it up and start trading with E-trade. So whats it gonna be? Alfred Einstein or Alfred Newman FUnk
