I once hit my own stock bid. I entered an order to buy 500 at X. I wanted to enter another order to buy another 500 at the same price. I was using Redi at the time.

I wonder if anybody has bought some "cheap" weekly options on Thursday for a 1-day trade and then finding out on Friday that the market is closed due to the Good Friday holiday. Holidays don't fall on a Friday very often.
no need to read further than this. those who cannot trade or admit failure become brokers. arguing after facts is ueseless unless introverted. trading is still.
