2. Can anyone explain in over simplified terms what happens with the unstack? Does it totally ignore all preferences? What is the impact?
TIA.
unstacking is the bogeyman, the John Wick of PBS. If you are in the bottom 50% of your seat and base, John Wick will build your schedule and you will do nothing because can do nothing.
if you put enough “else next bid” and are not lazy, untacking is no different than step trading, except PBS is a week faster.
