just pound them 99 shares at time! When they show 1 X1 if you send 99 share market orders you will and can get as many shares at the quote as you can press the button.
Some stocks trade for over $100. It probably would not look suspicious for retail traders to odd lot these. (Although such stocks usually have crummy spreads.)
The odd lot system is for retail orders. Abuse of it is easily spotted. The best thing to do is to learn how to trade like a man instead of stealing by using odd lots. jeff--
True Auto-X is auto-X at the NBBO. Regionals have it and when it is on. It's not the same as NYSE Direct+. You'll know when you have it. IT's very fast. And I'm not talking about executing with odd lots like some are talking on this board. http://www.tradersmagazine.com/magazine.cfm?id=1499 jeff-- www.tradeoes.com
how do you get access to this - a direct link to CHX? surely you don't get access with ARCA, because there is nothing instantenous about regional fills with it.
The only problem is that tightass exchanges like the CHX don't allow professional traders to use their auto-ex system.
