I got bought in on 640 more shares SILA. Here is the notice I just received from IB:

“I got bought in on 640 more shares SILA.”
If I understood the video correctly, you chose to buy the first block in right?
So you were actually only forced in on 640 shares?
You still have 11000ish short?
Well, I chose to buy the first block rather than be forced to cover all at once. Actually it looks like the buy-in on the 640 shares wouldn’t happen until right after the open.
