Out of my last five covers in my transaction list only one has shown up as a cover. I've had three show up as a cover/buy even though it was a straight cover. I double checked and didn't in fact buy additional shares. The other one showed as a regular buy. I know its not that big of a deal, but if I'm looking for a particular transaction it'll throw me off for a couple seconds until I realize what the transaction should have been listed as. I seem to recall this happening a few weeks ago also.

This has been happening to me as well, but as bg96 says, all the numbers seemed accurate so I did bother. However, whole Corolla and F-series trading issues are still not resolved (occasionally buying or selling more shares than I entered)

Is anyone else noticing this to be true, that there are significant swings in the last trade price and estimated price per share no matter what the quantity you purchase? I have been trying to ge tout of some stock for weeks but the price swing is too significant. In this game a swing of a couple dollars can make or break you.

I've been trying to take advantage of some swings in the market, but when I go to buy or short, the price can jump almost as much as $2.00/share, regardless if you only trade one share or thousands. It's slowing my trading down considerably. I wonder if it is because there are fewer playing, therefore, fewer transactions?

I see some jumps on the price as well. However today is really quite despite being Monday, when everyone prep for tuesday IPO... maybe it is because there is only one IPO.. I am trying to reduce the number of trades I am making these days.. resisting my temptation of being day-trader..

I still hold some stocks that jump like that. It does appear to be a volume thing. I constantly do the "1 share test" before making any transaction. Depending on recent activity, I can sometimes trade without shifting the price. I think some are becoming wary of this. People seem to be trading right to the edge of price movement and this causes the stock to appear booby trapped when the next hapless soul tries to trade even 1 share.

You're exactly right! I have several that I won't take advantage of when trying the "1 share test" because of whatever shift there is. I mean a $1.75-$1.80 swing can take a sizeable amount-if not all-of the profit you've made on those shares. Maybe shorting high and going long term is the way to go-but would that ever be boring...

Brothren, this just proves that across the country, great minds think alike... or perhaps we three are like three blind mice but anyway, I too do the "1 stock test" It is frustrating because it is like you are trapped with some stock because you may want to pull cash out of it to put in another investment but you want a good gain on it as well. It just seems strange that you can be trying for days, literally, not to get the last trade price to be the same as the estimate price but for the two to be relatively close. I mean a $.30 difference doesn't matter much but like you said when you are in the upper $1.00 range to two dollar range, it is significant.
Indeed the game would be very boring if you basically have to buy/short and just stay away for a couple days. Where's the rush in that? IPO tomorrow, good luck.

Corolla & F-Series

Corolla still seems to be randomly adding shares to transactions. My recent cover of 100 somehow turned into a cover of 181. F-Series also has this problem occasionally as I noticed earlier.
