I had a limit order to buy 50 shares of something today. No 'All or Nothing' condition. In the last minute of trading, this equity traded 850 shares Below my limit, but my order did not fill. I realize the price was only below my limit for a few seconds. I always thought that could not happen (at least not legally). Called Fidelity and the guy confirmed these trades. He said they were probably a Market Order, and a Market Order takes precedence over Limit Orders. Is he telling the truth, or fibbing?
