i got in at 35.00, and then it got stuck. I put in a limit order to get out at 35.04. I was the best offer, but buyers wouldn't take it. So, I cancelled my order and got out at 35.02. It's still just sitting there at 35.01 now, several minutes later.

It could have run, or it could have fallen down. I don't care because I have a few bucks profit.

Thanks for the elaboration, BTW.

i've been using limit order more often to get out, recently, to try to get 2 more cents out of the exit than I used to. Since it doesn't always work, I'm not positive it's an overall win yet. But it feels nice when it does work.
