NYSE orders at market open won't go through

The offer was at 219.55$. It traded there during the time I put the order in. I put a limit order below the bid (Bid-0.1) so it was like a market order
Below the current bid is only marketable, in a sense, if price then trades below the bid.

Sorry what do you mean by that? Wouldn't it be a market order in that case? So if the bid is 219.6$ and I send a limit order 219.55$, wouldn't that be like a market order?

A limit order above the bid, in most but not all circumstances, would become in a sense a market order. Not below.
 
Have multiple accounts on, different platforms see which one hits first. As a retail trader you have to work that much harder to complete a task. Keep those plebians in thier place.

Thanks for this. Is there a source you're looking at, that states this rule? Thx.
No I posted that when I assumed, as l think others maybe did, order was a buy.

Therefore a limit buy above the bid, or a limit sell below the offer what just execute as if it was a market order.
