The explanation given is that it's also related to the order placement time and other factors. It's probably because market makers can decide whether to let your trade go through or not.$Amazon(AMZN.US)$Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ.US)"

- **長野原烟花店交易员 · 2026-04-17T11:57:08.000Z**: It was never BBO before the market opened; the prices vary across different exchanges.
- **富二代123 · 2026-04-17T10:54:18.000Z**: You have to sell based on the bid price in the order book to get a trade executed, not just because the transaction price on the right is lower.
  - **szr** (2026-04-17T10:57:24.000Z): Hmm, mainly because I still thought it was the same as during the trading session, during which it could be executed.
