    Last, Ask, Bid

    With Ameritrade you don't have a choice. The best you can do is a limit order. You do not have the option of selling at the ask or the bid. If you are trying to enter a short position, the MM's they use will not offer you out. If you are trying to close a position you will sell at the bid price...

    VWAP trading

    Don thanks for that practical explanation. And I hate to sound ignorant but it's my specialty, say XYZ is near/at the VWAP and the T&S starts printing size hitting the offer.

    VWAP trading

    Again.... GE and MSFT are trading at their respective VWAP's. What edge does this provide intraday? I understand the idea of reversion to the mean, that is what I count on for my trading. Actually I count on diversion from the mean.

    Question Regarding x-Div Date

    I think the ex-div date and pmt date are the same. Anyway, as long as you are out of the stock before the record date, you are safe. I know the record date thing is accurate, but someone tighten me up on the rest please, if I am not accurate.

    VWAP trading

    Okay.... for example, right now I have the VWAP for BRCM as 22.079, and the price is 22.24. What trading opportunity or information is this telling me other than the current price is above the Volume Weighted Average Price?

    Adding to a losing position..right or wrong?

    Many traders average their basis by adding to a losing position. I don't agree with it, neither do many, if any published trading experts. However, adding to a position has nothing to do with a time machine. Does your broker reflect your portfolio as separate positions for the same stock...
