Re: Filled - To be or not to be?

Michael,
You cannot "claim" a fill even if the market trades 1,000 times at your price
but you can certainly claim a fill if it trades through it (assuming as you
stated that there was no "fast market".
However, there can be "bad ticks" reported and these will be corrected by the
floor later. You cannot claim a fill if the trade through is the result of a bad
tick.
If your broker habitually fails to fill your limit order after trading through
it, get another broker.
