Anyone here bought my shares of BCOR after hours 2 days ago?

It would be helpful to know what the best bid was at the time your order was submitted. Are you sure it was not $8.85? I see bids and offers like that all the time (that are 1 digit off the real last official price), trying to entice people into seeing what it is not really there. Why would your broker submit your order at $8.85 unless that happened to be the best bid at the time?

I don't want to accuse you of making a mistake you didn't make, but there is no reason to think that any software on Earth would modify the price of a limit order from $18.85 to $8.85. There has got to be a better explanation than the one you have presented so far.

it seems based on the facts the execution price was too far away from the last price to be accepted. this is regardless of the actions by the OP even while including the possibility of a fat finger error.

I realized that I have access to time and sales for BCOR due to a data subscription and was able to pull up afterhours trading for BCOR. You are correct, the best bid at the time was $6.40 and your order hit the market priced at $8.85. According to my time and sales only 4,300 shares were traded there. There was no extra 1,000 shares traded at that price.

Either you accidentally left off the 1 from $18.85, or your broker has a weird default pricing mechanism or incredibly serious software bug. Regardless of how the $8.85 came to be, it seems like your best bet is to pursue your broker for negligence in more than one way.

I changed the quantity of my order to hit the bid of 4300 shares at $18.85. That's what I could
read on my screen but in the past my broker told me that it ever happened that the bid or offer would not update to show the reality of the market. That would be great if I could find where the bid was if there was really one.

I mean the price of the cancelled order that I'm modifying. I did not even touch that box. And that box is not close to the box for quantity. So in no way I could have accidentally changed something. I clearly saw $18.85.

It could be very helpful if you have a log file from your trading software that shows the exact details of the order line which was sent from your computer to your broker. Until now you keep on repeating "I saw this... I saw that ...". Does your trading software keep a log file on your computer?

Note that it is possible that I am not seeing the extra 1,000 shares traded at $8.85 because it was busted and removed from my data source.

I think that regardless of the mistake about the price, the problem is the fact that my broker
failed to contact ARCA immediately.
