Interesting afternoon of bot vs bot, so I decided after watching the bots tricks for ages to buy some off it after it had pushed the price down. At 3.39pm I hit the ask for 500 of the 520 shares at the ask at $20.30. The previous trades had been in the $20.24 -$20.28 range at the bids, with the ask only coming down to $20.30.

I put the trade on and nothing happened, my order didn't appear to turn up at all. Went to the manage order page of comsuc and sure enough it was 'processing' for over 2 1/2 minutes!! By the time the in market appeared the SP had of course gone back up again, but I did manage to get 3 shares. Just enough to make a normal person 'chase' the price with the rest of the order. Usually when I hit buy the order goes through instantly, today was different... The character of the trading changed straight away with lots of bids around my order and just above.. sorry bot I don't fall for it... It always traded above my bid until the auction.

Then at 4.03pm, I noticed my bids were only 345 shares, I had picked up another 142 shares at 4.03, during the auction!! WTF?? How odes this happen? Anyone goes to look at course of sales and there is nothing at 4.03pm, however if you look at the chart on comsuc at the 1min scale for today, sure enough there is a trade at 4.03..

Games within games, but they don't want to let many shares go.... I'm wondering if one of the buy bots in the market is a commsec bot.
