    If you entered at 4.50, where did you see a 12% drop?

    HZN never went much below $4.50 after 9:45am.
    Also, if you placed buy market order then it should go through even at higher price like $4.60 or $4.70.
    So I suspect that your order was not a market order. If it really was, then you may want to contact your broker.
    Which broker do you use, btw?

    Only 2 possible explanations imo

    1) You thought you placed the order but actually did not (it's happened to all of us)
    2) You thought you placed market buy order but place a limit order by mistake

    Show us a screen shot of the order status, just black out any personal account info
