56 or 57 cents for me to flip an expensive starbond over a 100 dollars. I found I was hlding ot the wrong way and it was worth enough for me to flip it long. And since it's in the quiet of the morning I can see what my trades are doing. I don't mind paying a bit more but not 50 times more then a person buying the same stock later in the day.
To keep it simple, lets say ppost cost a $100. The fist person buying him pays 50 cents with commission that 2.5% cost to buying that starbond, the last person to purchase that starbond paid a penny 2.01% cost to buy. That's hardly fair to the first person to that bought. penalize the trader that takes the time to work out that it is advantagous to make a trade. The person that trades after the fisrt person pays an extra penny from commission whoppie. But I bet he saves more then that because the stock doesn't move the whole 50 cents the first trader paid.
