Posted by Dr Tormento on May 29, 2009, 1:45 pm I placed an order to buy 50 shares at 96.56. Because of the incentive pricing for routing, the trade was executed at 96.5599. That works out to $4827.995, so there is a half cent up for grabs. They gave it to me for $4827.99. Who says the little guy never gets a break?
