As long as people continue to enter 20 cent through orders after every nx against the trend the specialist will continue to be able to whip the stock and print in his own favor. This panic attack order entry just hands even more power to a guy who already has the most control.
Well sometimes you have to do that unless you plan to enter and cancel an order 50 times hoping that his Majesty will look favorably on the scum and bless them by giving them a morsel
I have found that on some liquid nyse stocks, if you exclude NYSE on IB smart you get filled much quicker??? Go figure
