That is a great feeling. Instant reward. I was in a stock one time that gapped at the open and for several minutes traded fast and furious in a wide range. Actually not that uncommon a phenomenon. I did one or two trades completely outside of the spread (on ISLD): People were panicking in BOTH DIRECTIONS. Unreal. There is nothing like it.

I had something odd like that happen a while back. The stock wasn't moving all that quickly, but I put a bid in a good 1/4 below the inside bid, and it sat there for awhile, and suddenly isld filled me for 47 shares (I was bidding for 100) at my price. Dunno what that was about (maybe some online broker sent a market sell via ISLD? I do remember that I was the best bidder on ISLD).
