Hey Don,

Got a question for you. Had a short for RIG at 70.66. It opened at 70.66 up .01. My order went in at 9:27:52. I didn't get filled.

When I inquired, I didn't get the usual "orders ahead" line. Instead the specialist said shorts need to be in 5 minutes in advance to get assured a fill and they couldn't pair me off. This is news to me! I thought it was a 2 minute limit.

What say you?

Thanks!

I say "shorts are last in line" and "Specialist trying to get a billable order when he doesn't deserve one" - LOL.

JPM, check your typing on the order entry....unless you got filled later with a "day" (vs. OPG) order...

Slow morning, still tweaking new program.....only 1 fill...the "automated" closing order feature worked well...but, like a dummy, I did an over-ride....still made money, but if would have left the stupid thing alone, I would have made another nickel. Oh well, still testing.

No fills today.

Yesterday was driving the family back from Grandma's when the market opened, so my only opening order was "Just get in the car!!"
