My GTC AON (Good til canceled, All-or-none) MGLD buy/sell orders that aren't showing on the bid/ask won't be filled with the paltry volume coupled with the price we're seeing now.
I'm way below the bid and way above the ask for either event but leaving myself the option to buy smaller amounts at will. Its also a nice mini-bonus that we've been in the zero sales commission era with brokerages, although commissions never hurt any trader I know of. Like me, they're too busy making dollars to worry about tripping over pennies.
