Do you find any difference in executing odd lot size as opposed to full lot size? Spreads, fills?

 

i'm so new at this... idk really.. but i do know it just outright won't go through unless you keep moving it around right over the price action. usually a sell will go through if you put no matter what if you put it below the market and vice versa for buy lmts for me.. the 5k lot entrys are so like broader term that a pip or two doesn't matter.. the nominal amount doesn't add up to mcuh

 

i am trading against options

even now i'm short more then i need to be to hedge those puts.. i don't wanna lose the gamma i sort of front ran on that strong down move.. gotta be a retracement at some point.. or not.. but just thinking about my birds in the bush as they say
