 OK, which broker are you using? If DATEK, your offer to buy would show
 on the quote screen. The is a que - fist in, first filled. 
 
 Tell me which stock and I'll take a look at it.
 
 PS - I'm in IMCC - looks like it may go next week.

HI Tom!

The trade was in XION.  The Broker, Schwab.  I'm sure the offer (bid) was
mine.  In the past, I'd get a fill if there was a trade.  I'm lost.

Thanks for your help.
