I randomly lucked into this today with a buy order.

I set a limit buy order for some QQQQs at 45.5 as things were falling.  And then things started really dropping.  My limit buy @ 45.5 executed at 44.44.  Freaked me out.  I was frantically checking the news for some huge calamity.  Instead I should have been loading up the entire time.
