There is no basis for the trade to be busted. The trade occurred at the current market price. If you read the first post carefully you will see the OP tried to place a trade $10 away from the current price but for whatever reason (fat finger or brokerage fault) it traded at the market ...no way that trade would be busted.
I'm laughing because wow you are another "special" person where even though millions of orders go through IB at the correct price, they screwed you over on your one order. You need to take some responsibility, just like the OP. Oh please do. Can't wait. Another idiot.
Actually, the OP "lost" very little money which pisses me off to no end. If he actually had "lost" money, then it would be more fitting the situation.
You come on here and defend a complete idiot. What does that make you? Thanks for the death and bad luck!
Most here have lost sight of the fact that OP didn't actually lose any significant money (at least not as a result of this order gone wrong). He entered an order and it was filled at the inside market price. So what...feel sorry for you? Not only did this trader try to manipulate the trading system, he is trying to manipulate us with his "I'm a victum" nonsense. Magellan
Either he's out $4k from his outlier BS (10 handles=$4k), or he's out $0.xx=$4k, which was his error on the 8-entry or marketable order. The former is simply retarded. Either way, he's not out anything. That's 2-3x the spread in the shares.
Gooooog morning...NFLX trading just a few pennies shy of $90 a share, you should make a new thread entitled 'Lucky after hours trade....SAVED!!!!'
He wasn't lucky. He was smart. He KNEW Netflix was going to rally so he cut his short on Friday. Better, he *bought* on Friday.
No, he was lucky. If had placed the order he said he tried to place (buy to close at $76) then the order would not have filled and he would still be sitting short this morning. He is lucky for the "mistake"
I'm being sarcastic. He sounds like the guy who, when making money is doing it intentionally, and when he's not, blames someone else. He'll probably be telling people that he bought NFLX stock in Friday's after hours. (Not bought to cover or bought by mistake).
