    Hi guys:

    I'm trying to buy 50 shares of a NASDAQ listed stock (market cap 600mm) for my own account. I entered 50, SMART, DAY, MKT on Interactive Brokers, but it's taking it a while to execute. I understand that oddlots take more time, but would any one happen to know how long in general this might take? Would it often fail to execute when it's oddlot?

    Thank you!

    I think the statistic is 95% of traders fail.

    L O L, I made a similar mistake. I pulled up the SPY and thought, "Why isn't that needle moving? It's stuck at that price..."
     
  7. I was able to trade against all the stale orders put in by the clueless today. Best day in YEARS
