RE: RE: RE: information onlyThis Alpha black-box think is driving me nuts. Thanks for the info. Maybe the BNC board is not the right place for it but its not like every post on this board is 100% on-topic.
Some of my BNC buys have been on Alpha. Not my choice. I use TD. The ask volume does not show up on the bid-ask quote that TD shows me. The volumes do not register on the day's volume that TD shows me. The market depth does not show these Alpha volumes either. One day, I had a fill of more than 10,000 shares for one order on Alpha.
When I call TD and ask them to fix it, they gave me a boilerplate explanation of what Alpha was. Duhh!
If anyone knows of a broker who can show me the bid-ask quote which includes Alpha, or allows me to decide what exchange to execute on, I would gladly switch brokers. I am now really annoyed about this.
Art, you complain about low volumes. Well, they are understated. That is why it is important.
