    So this is todays EXT example of a sequential price-slot hogging

    Price-slots being hogged by someone placing offers waiting for execution today in Extract Resources

    Just a half hour later the sell orders are now ahead of the subsequent orders which were placed

    In this case a seller would be pressured into selling to the offer of 10 shares at $7.32 or if they wanted to sell more would have to made offers at but at a lower price

    The infamous 617 qty now is the only one in the slot at $7.26 which previously controlled :-

    $7.220 and $7.210 on the buy side

    and $7.330 and $7.340 on the sell side

    Other 617 offers may be hidden lying beneath the 1210 at $7.230 and 1777 at $7.320

    Whether the market is moving up or down the price-slot hog controls the action

    This is the copy of Etrade action:-

    The question has to be asked

    Is this a desirable market operation?
    Or manipulation?
    Or unfair advantage being taken by opportunists because of poorly designed share market methods?

    These methods may not always prove successful for the perpetrator every the time but they do affect the free operation of the market

    We need to place a participant ID number atached to each offer so others can see these and make a decision whether they feel the market action is being manipulated

    And enable them to decide whether to participate in the available market action or not participate

    Same as standard auction laws and auction regulations

    Most I think would agree
