The bot thing is with just about every trade on every exchange even big heavily traded stuff. The programs that the Ameritrades and Fidelities of the world are so sophisticated that your and my trades get the same treatment and respect as those trading 100X the $ value.

For example, today I have so far purchased 4000 shares of RFP. One of my 1000 share orders got busted up into 17 different executions! The others into 4 or 5.

This is one reason why the "Trade" tab in IHUB isn't very useful. I bought some VTSI today using 3 separate small orders and each had multiple executions and it looked to me like each was characterized sort of randomly as a buy/sell beneath the Trade tab.

So last week we trade an average of about 50k shares today and then today "poof" no volume and maybe only one semi-motivated (and obviously insane) seller.

I bet we close the week over $8 with average volume of 100k shares. Yes, this week.
