The other day I put in an day limit order to sell a block of shares. Within about 15 minutes 40 shares sold and 59 remained. It was only later in the day that the remaining 59 sold. Since I thought when I made the order it meant *sell 99 @ $x today* or do not sell them at all, it surprised me when a partial sell was executed. While the remaining shares did in fact sell later in the day and there was only one sell fee incurred, the thought occured to to me that it was possible they would not have and in order to attmept to sell off the block I might have been charged at least one extra sales fee. I'm thinking now that sell orders of a duration of *day* are not the thing to do, rather *GTC* would be the only way from here on out since that would insure that only 1 trade fee would be charged even if the whole sell process was to take place over a series of days. I now know that any sell order just means *sell as many shares as you can* at a given price vs *sell all or none* so keeping the order open beyond 1 day in order to insure that process seems the way to go. Anything I'm missing with this situation? BTW, I'd assume the same applies to buy orders as well.

hey, my wallet and I thank you.
