    how big of the spread can it be ?

    CCU

    Avg. Vol 377k

    I placed a limit order of $20.5, $21 and then $22, for 5 shares
    (warming up with real $).

    Still - can't get filled.

    I had similar situations on the stocks, that had a daily vol of +1M.

    Is it because of,

    it being a bucket shop
    (they are, e.g when you choose to close position, sell/cover, theres no option for market or limit order.
    Only - ,,
    Close" ... o_O ... ... ,, . ... . .. .? ....)

    or

    the lack of vol/liquidity ?


    Whats your expierence in other platforms like IB, with little orders like that ?
    (few shares and limit o)

    Thanks.

    Don't know about eToro, but currently I see it at IB @ $19.33 ask, so you wouldn't pay more than $19.33:
