All,
< How about a fast exchange of some experiences on which Web brokers executed the best. >

Hi, sorry to be working an old topic, but it does seem like a good time to collect experiences on service during a crunch.

I use Ameritrade and Datek. Both locked me out during peak trading, but Datek came back much faster, and I was able to place a few trades. Ameritrade was good on executing trades (limits) which had been ordered the night before, but the server was inaccessible on Tuesday. Datek's server would at least allow access.

Of course, Tuesday saw 1.2 billion shares traded, more than double the heaviest previous volume.

Regards,

MS
