I just put a bunch of shares up for sale at $10, a steal of a deal if you ask me. I use the worst trading platform out there. It is ScotiaMc. But I was able to enter the trade orders, one in a registered, the other non registered. Both worked.
I did get a warning saying Excessive Price Varience but I submitted the order anyway and checked the status of the orders. Status went from Pending to Processing to Open. But it took more than 2 minutes for the system to accept. I fully expected to see Rejected.
So, at least with Scotia, one can override the Warning so to speak and still get the order through. Hopefully tomorrow morning the status will not have been changed to rejected because of an over night review of accounts by Scotia.
