Claudealain, what broker are you using? I got 1.7 millionish and have been putting in and taking out that order for many days. The order was only in for 60 or so minutes this time. I am using TDAmeritrade which has a bad reputation for betting fast fills so all this surprises me. Sometimes or even often, the first come first serve scenario doesn't come into play. I suppose I just got lucky in terms of the fill.

I believe it was last Wednesday or Thursday that others were getting a number of .0004s filled and the bid still didn't drop to .0003.

The one thing that I learned early when buying pinky's is to make sure you order is a board lot order (for these its in inc of 1000 shares). If you don't do that you get put into the secondard order list which gets filled when all of the board lot orders are filled. This can mean that people that just put in an order get filled when you don't. Before I figured this out I had orders in for a week and then all of a sudden other people were getting filled and I was not (for the whole day). Looked back and it was because I had put the order in as a non-board lot order ... live and learn.
