Placed a options order before the market opened at the price they were listed but they were not filled?

More obviousness: wait until the open and use a market order or give them the price they want. Your choice.

Without experience, most newbies don't understand why trading liquid stocks is the "a priori" of trading. If you're trying to trade some illiquid pump and dump stock, they may have done you a favor.

If you just want in, but don't want to use a market order, keep bumping up your limit order until it's filled, or just give them an extra two ticks. If you're trying to trade "fast markets" or running price, that's a different technique and high risk.

To state the obvious way is to NOT put a LIMIT order on it. -select MARKET instead.

Shouldn't have a problem getting in then.



more specific please

Placed a options order before the market opened at the price they were listed but they were not filled, why is that?

They were pretty good picks also but I put in a limit order for a little above the asking price. What can I do to make sure that the orders are filled at the open of the market?
