12:04 and again at 12:11 starts trading in .20 increments intead of .01 like it does all day long. None of these orders apear on my Level II. EX: trading at 12.43 and starts trading at 12.63 then back down .43. I have seen this before on high volume/volitle stocks. What is this? Almost seems like a way to force action or flush people out.
I don't know. I placed a buy limit order today before I left my system and got filled at 21.60 but it went down more than I thought closed 21.30
I was experiencing that today ... a lot of jumpy movements on some of the ETFs and banking stocks I follow.
I was seeing stray prints on lots of listed stocks today. FAZ, SPY, CVS. Had to configure the realtime charts to show just bid and ask, and not trades.
