lol dude that was the underwriters sitting at 38.00 with insane shares. If you bid at that price you wouldn't get filled until after they were (which they weren't obviously). The only thing I'm not sure about is if someone else were to bid there, if their order would get bumped up ahead of any reloading. Maybe someone else knows. But what idiot would bid 38 even when they could just take .01's? That is pretty fucking stupid.
From a report "The key facts are that 43mm shares of Facebook changed hands at $38.00, almost all of them at the bid, and another 28.5mm traded at $38.01, largely at the ask." Im not here to give you slobs trading lessons. My role here today was telling you I dumped the turd at 42.90 (realtime) and show atticus for what he is, a twat. Thank you.
FB's volume at the 38.00 prints were well under 20MM shares when you first posted the "40MM" figure. You lose, again. Thanks for playing.
i left at noon yesterday, but just to set the record straight, entry at 38 wasn't limit at 38.00, it was 38.05 and 38.03 to be precise, betting on support at 38. i was lazy and just typed in 38. bid size at 38.00 was over 1000000 at times. even colocated with DMA, odds of getting the 38 print on the buy side are not good even though it hung out at that level for a while.
Of course it was, and thanks for clearing it up. You're correct re: colo being meaningless. It has nothing to do with speed.
What a total tool you are, LOL!!!!!!!! You seriously took the time for this garbage. I took your options trading related posts seriously but you lost all street cred with this. And you cannot even have the guts to admit you are sometimes wrong! Interactive Brokers takes client orders since 1995 and I traded with them since 1997. Dav of IB confirmed that. Glad to point you to the thread we talked about that. But thats what you do: You realm from thread to thread and accuse others. Your 8000+ posts are mostly made up of attacks (often unjustified ones, though about volume here you were correct) towards others and you hardly every showed the courage to apologize for bullshit you posted. Opinions are opinions, jokes are jokes, but you fabricate lies and do not have the guts to admit you are sometimes wrong. Which leads me to the definition of such person: A Loser!!!
Don't worry, that guy cries foul to everyone around him, sometimes he is incorrect but he would never realize it. Get used to it, read his options comments and filter out all the other BS, 8000 posts since he registered makes a lot of free time during his daily routine (not sure whether the routine is actually posting or something else)
Dav didn't confirm YOUR account, numbnuts. You stated you were a client >15 years, when in fact you contradicted your own BS and stated it's <15Y. In reality you haven't been with IB for more than a couple years, tops. Looks like I was correct about 38.00. I gotta ask... wtf is "realm" in this context? Is it like kollege = colleague?
