When I placed my offer the bid was greater than 38.50. I wanted out before close and didn't care about small slippage. They still bent me over! Each bid and offer is firm for 10 contracts and I wanted to close 8. My firm should honor this trade and put the trade in their error account and deal with PHLX themselves. I know they dropped their connection with the exchange..... The broker is calling me back in a few minutes when he hears back from PHLX. ????
you'll probably get screwed......everyone blames the other person and your left holding the bag. Maybe we gap down in the morning and you cover at a better price.
good luck
good luck
They gave me a bunch of BS why this order didn't fill, like I don't understand market mechanics and how orders route! I did get them to drop my commission down $2.00 per trade for 30 days. They know they screwed up and are offering this as a "customer gesture" I assume. Better than nothing....Hope semi's gap down tomorrow.
Late Sell-off Hits Stocks
Concerns that the mild economic recovery won't spark a major rebound in corporate earnings weighed on stocks despite some better than expected results from companies such as Amazon.com (AMZN) and Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM). March durable goods orders were weaker than expected and the Fed's Beige Book pointed to slow economic growth.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 59 points (0.6%) to 10,030, the S&P 500 index dropped 8 points (0.7%) to 1093, and the Nasdaq composite fell 17 points (1.0%) to 1713. Brokerage, semiconductor and software shares led the decline while airline and telecom stocks stood out among the gainers. Volume on the Big Board was 1.4 billion shares as 1.9 billion shares changed hands on the Nasdaq.
