Playing Games on Etrade?
This is getting kinda spooky as this is the third time this has happened in the last month. I put in a bid below the ask price but above the lowest bid. My bid sits there maybe an hour or so and I bump it, Still nothing so I may bump it right up to the ask and get my fill sometimes but often not everything I bid on. Not five minutes after my fill someone comes in and sells 500 shares back at the bid price. ( a big $60 order) Thus preventing the tape from really showing any progress. Just last week I got 1/2 a fill and my order sat there for another couple of hours during which time someone came in and sold below my bid price by around 3/4 of a cent. I never got a fill on anymore of my order and it wasn't an AON order. Now I realize this is very thin but its starting to seem to me that someone is trying to paint the tape on BTT to keep any price MO from starting. Pretty easy to do when you can set a price for the old cost of a commission. Anybody else noticing this type of behavoir?
