Not sure of this specific instance but one way it would happen is if your trigger to buy is an "all or none"...if you only want the trade to execute if you can buy all the shares at the buy price, there may be someone who is willing to sell at a price lower than your bid but an insufficient volume (# of shares) to fulfill your order thus not making triggering the trade You'd have to look at level II and see how many shares traded at that lower level to see if that's what happened Sorry, just re-read "partial buy" so shouldn't be the case No worries. I did eventually get filled on it. Just one of those things that make you go: "Huh?"

Market better start moving up soon, or I bet people are going to get tired of riding this bucking bull.
I already am and it's only been about 1 1/2 hours! LOL

I think we have a peek today just under 1387 on S&P. If so, it better hold for the sake of the bulls.

i know these bear patterns usually fail with the invisible hand around but there have been a few that have played out here the last week or so...

Same old game.
Scare everybody out and buy it up.
I got trend support at 1384ish.
Steve Grasso has 1386.
Ukarl is worried about the negative ticks. Continuation could set up something we don't want to see.

BB to speak on the aftermath of the crisis at 12:45 est. You know, the word "crisis" has really bothered me lately as it applies to our economy. A crisis of any kind that goes on for 3-4 years is a fundamental change, however adverse & undesirable it is, IMO. Crisis management doesn't reverse the damage, it can only mitigate it. We need a new economic phase, and phrase to go with it.

thoughtful. I guess the Bernank thinks the crisis is over.
In my mind, the crisis was 2008-2009, although there's a case to be made that it has never left us.

Gold is shooting up now - just a little - based presumably on the Bernank at 12:45, sometimes this is a real drag.

So does the adage "You don't get this long to sell a top" work on bottoms as well?

to be fair, credit giving to banks for treasuries is held in a fed account for the banks.
the 'money' is not in circulation
