I received email from Datek saying that even though I had a sell order for TRIH @ 13 1/8 and an order had went through for 13 1/2. I could not be guaranteed a fill.
They dont say nothing about the bid being at or above 13 1/8 for the first 18 minutes of trading.
Ive used Datek for hundreds of trades and this is the first time Ive complained, but I know bull when I hear it and I will get satisfaction.If they have problems they need to correct them not come up with you just dont understand how orders work.
I could name scores of times Ive placed orders to sell @ the bid and the market maker dropped his bid and I knew I had to lower the ask in order to sell, but for the bid to remain steady for 18 minutes, I expect to sell.
