I was refreshing every minute or two for a couple of hours.

Then suddenly she changed.. she was 4.5mil @ 1.6c bid, and 75k shares @ 1.7 offer, at 3:53pm. This broke the 1.7/1.8c bid offer stalemate.

After buying those 75k shares, the 1.7 to 1.8 bid offer was restored. 1 minute later at 3:54 we were 1.3 mil @ 1.7c bid and 5,456,352 @ 1.8c offer. This bid size fattened til I think we had 3mil @ 1.7 bid. The 5,456,352 stayed the same for a few minutes and I wanted to smack it under 5mil. This stalemate held so I attempted to mark the close cheekily buying 456,353 @ 1.8 cents which was filled at 03:59:41. I was unsuccessful in getting a 1.8c close.

It seems brokers were doing more manipulating further, around 3 or so million shares at 1.6 cent. A heap of trades at the end of the 10 minute auction after the close. So the brokers actively marked the closing auction pretty well. Who wants a fair scrap right? Plenty of funny business in all those 1.75cent trades earlier in the session.
