I&#x27;m going to suppose that your response is fixated on:<p>&gt; Wholesaler sells short remaining 1300 shares at $10.0290<p>whereby the wholesaler takes a speculative position wrt the original order?<p>Are you suggesting that the wholesaler giving you 0.0010 profit on your trade guaranteed, is working <i>against</i> you?  Without regard to your execution costs?<p>Can you suggest a single chain of messages where you <i>make</i> money on that trade? What are the chances where that chain of messages is likely?
