  5. Hey Hubert....Gee maybe its because you were using IOC orders and you werent fast enough??!! Many times when you take ECN offers or hit bids on Realtick, I bet you often miss the shares you were going after but since it is a day order you can get filled a split second later from the next offer/bid to come in.

    With an IOC order you either get the shares you go after or you don't then the order is dead. I suggest you change it to TIF orders (time in force) and give the order a few seconds of life recognizing that you are not fast enough to always get the shares you see on the L2.
