Ramsey Su; I agree that is seems the DellHeads are here. I find it somewhat distressing. As you pointed out, they are placing small trades at 100-200 shares. This minor action is clogging up the trading desks and making my trades much more difficult. My real time day trades require quick execution, and at the 4000 share minimum, my blocks go un-executed for minutes - costing me money. I think I will go to the SEC/Nasdaq and get all their names, perhaps an email from me will stop this trivial trading and open up the desks for us. Day Trading for fun and profits. Yours, Jeff Vayda

Ramsey, Look at the trades today. A jillion of them crossed, mostly 100 - 200 shares That might not mean that all orders are for 100-200 shares. In volatile times, the bid/ask sizes shrink. So, if someone puts in an order for 2000 shares, their execution might show 10 trades of 200 shares each (at all different prices if it's a market order and the prices are changing fast!) btw, great sense of humor!
