It is possible to put orders in between the spread.

Just wait a couple of days and this should be back to normalish trading.

Today a number of people need to call their brokers to make an order.

Nothing to worry about.

It's hard to say if a market maker is involved.

If you are looking for messing around, look for double orders.

Let's say you put an order in to buy 5,000 shares at $0.40

However, on the ticker tape, you see a trade for 5,000 shares at $0.38 and then an immediate trade for $0.40 and you got a fill for $0.40

In that case, you got screwed.

Don't worry though, it's usually smaller brokers that pull this stunt.

This is why I stay away from some of the smaller brokers. They may offer low commissions ... but then they skim your order.

eTrade doesn't really pull this as much as others.

I don't see the trades so, can not tell you either way.
