Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Next time you place an order, specifically look for an "AON" box that may be checked. It may be automatically there, and unless you uncheck it then it stays there, and your order is automatically all-or-none. Etrade used to do that on some trades over 300 shares. It was something I had to make sure wasn't checked.

If that box is not checked, and you are in at the ask or higher, then they are obligated to give you at least one trade there. And on this stock that is 5,000 shares. Not that 5,000 shares is much, but that is the minimum, and most of thetime you get more than that.

Try it again tomorrow. make sure you are on the ask or higher (Don't go to 0.004, or "somehow" they will find a way to FILL you there. lol!) and then after about 45 minutes or so if you are not filled CALL them. Show them that you are at the ask or higher, and ask them why they are not filling you on a partial. WHoever you talk to should say "I can't tell what the problem is. I have to call on that to the market maker." IN reality that is the truth. they can not see the issue since it is not on one of the markets. But atht will force them to call onyour order and the MM should fill you on some shares immediately when they call. Maybe even all of them.

Hope that helps. smile
