This is simply not true.
I'm done belaboring the point which I have discussed ad nauseum with him on another forum. His market order analogy is a poor one because the stock market is far more liquid and less volatile. Prices rarely move 5% in a matter of seconds but they often move 5%+ in sports when spreads move a point in baskets, for ex. The volatility is simply much greater.
I think a more appropriate analogy on these prices changes is like going to a store, buying a 16oz soda which has a price tag of $1.25, paying, and then being told to give back 4oz of soda once you've walked out. If you tell me that the price is now $1.25 for 12oz BEFORE I pay, that is one thing, but to retroactively charge me for something after I've paid is deceptive at best.
Even if we assume the above practice is ok, they will put you on delay and then change the price if you've beat them to the move. That, IMO is criminal because they claim there's no delay.
