%% Good answer xandman+ that is why many traders/investors prefer liquid, large volume markets.Linker 2k ;you may have gotten a more exact answer with an exact stock symbol; however i would not blame you for keeping it private. Another advantage for liquid markets, like SPY for example, is the market will bounce around in a bull market or bear + most likely hit your limit order [ in time]- NOT so with illiquid, low volume stuff.Hope this helps; Blair Hull said he was the slowest market maker...... not that he takes 20 days.....LOL
