The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If I haven't got the execution within about a minute I move halfway between my limit (usually, but not always, my limit is one side of the spread), I move my limit to the new half way point. Very rarely do I see the other side move away from my new limit. Generally I am trading NAS100 stocks.
