How to Get on top of the Order Book of a thinly traded stock at Market opening

Hi,

I am trying to buy a very thinly traded Micro Cap reccomended by an advisor. Because of the rush there are about 140K odd shares required (at the upper circuit) and 10K odd which are sold (as attested by the % traded from BSE)

I tried placing my Market order at 9am sharp, but the few seconds of delay caused (6-7 seconds in my case) pushes me really down the stack.

My quesiton is how do I reach the top of this stack? What strategies, techniques or voodo Can I apply here? How do others do it?

Any help and advice will be most welcome!

Thanks in advance!

VM
