Options selling at above my offer price and not getting filled

Post by kaissa »

I had put in an order to sell GDXJ options @ 12.80
I saw that there was a sale at $12.95, but my order was not filled
When I called TD they said it was because spread option positions have priority
I can see where someone selling/buying an option to close at the same price in a spread position be given priority, but cannot understand how it's possible for buy/sell trade to occur at a higher price ??
Certainly the person buying the option should have been filled at the lower price and would not be happy at all to be filled at the higher price
