I trade around a position. you don't see a price difference between 1.30 and 1.17? example on a 2 cent spread with down trend start 10,000 shares sell $10k 1.30 / 2307 shares buy $10k 1.25 / 10,307 sell $10k 1.27 / 2433 buy $10k 1.23 / 10,563 sell $10k 1.25 / 2563 buy $10k 1.21 / 10,827 sell $10k 1.23 / 2697 buy $10k 1.19 / 11,100 what's wrong with more shares? and those trades don't have to happen in any particular order... it's the same either way: sell $40k total buy $40k total end up with more shares.
