I should know better.

I cancelled a market order at ETrade to short WLA last Friday, then placed another order later which filled.

They reinstated the market order (they had every right to do this, we have been warned not to do this), and filled it.

Luckily for me, the stock is down 2 points from my fill.
But I would not expect to be lucky the next time - a very stupid thing to do.

I'm waiting for my funds at Yamner to clear.
