Got price improvement of 2 or 3 cents on exits, like usual, I hope this doesn't go away when the stocks convert to hybrid. Maybe they will still do the sweeps within the first few minutes after the open. No fills yesterday.

They will be able to walk the book....you will get filled at the price your order is at. Price improvement is possible at the discretion of the specialist.

We'll just have to make 'em walk a little farther than usual

LOL that's right...or if not we will walk our exit orders over to ARCA instead where we get paid for providing liquidity.

5 fills: 2 long wins, 2 short wins, 1 short loss, +338

Had my first OPG fill on a hybrid stock (PG) and can say it was just like trading a thinner Nasdaq stock. Way more volatility than I'd ever seen in PG, so these hybrids will take some getting used to on the open.

OK thanks for that info on PG. Did you get price improvement on the exit ?? I would guess not.

Technically yes, I got price improvement on the PG exit, but only because my sell order undercut the bid by a couple of cents and "swept" the book. It wasn't a standing order.

Today 4 long fills, 3 wins and a loss, +225

No hybrid adventures today.
