I could be totally wrong - I'm in no way a seasoned pro - but as I understand it, when your orders are not filling at or above ask, market makers are having fun. Alternatively, your puny little order is not a priority because there are bigger fish trying to accumulate and market makers are doing what they need to do to make them happy.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong - this is just my understanding of it.
