Example 1
On Wed stock price closes at $20.
On Thu manager submits a limit ordr for 1,000 shares at $19.95. The price never falls to $19.95 so the order expires unfilled. The stock closes at $20.05.
On Fri the order is revised to a limit of $20.06.
Decision price = $20
Revised benchmark price = $20.05
Example 2.
Trader receives an order from a portfolio manager at $23.
The price the trader places the order is $23.15
Decision price = $23
Revised benchmark price =$23.15
Using the approach of example 2 in example 1, why isn’t example 1 revised benchmark price = $20.06. I am a bit confused, can someone please explain how these differ?
