Apparently my trade was completed on the Alpha trading platform... It seams that since I was willing to pay 20% more than the last trade price.... and hit the bid.... Some slick dirivative of my order was filled..

So have I actually bought another 10,000 shares or have I provided a short sale for a trade. I have serious issues that the market has dropped so low as to be in the penny market with such " Liquidity provider"

The other issue is that the person I was willing to buy those shares from has also been cercumvented having his sell steped in front of. This raises very real consequences for our markets as it means that someone else can jump the que on a trade... and thus the individual investor is at a termendous dissadvantge.... Was my trade actually sold to me at .11 and the intstitution taking an additional $100 off the table.... who knows because the market is not open and transparent!
