Are you sure your data is correct?  The spread here is 1 3/4.  That's quite high.  In 1997, before the market makers were forced to reform by the SEC, such spreads were common.  Now it's fairly unusual. You sell/buy by the bid/ask price.  The quoted price/high/low of the day is sort of an average of the bid/ask price.

Can you please advice me, what stock order must be used in order to sell this stock if price will drop to 10 13/16 or lower, but not at 10 (what market sell order will do). Regards and thanks a lot in advance.
