Wow Fred. You ought tp apply for the job as the Presidents spokesman. The way way you twist and warp what other people say is amazing.
You say that I claim based on 3 orders, my other broker will get any price I want. If you read what I wrote, it clearly says that my other broker tries to get the price I want. If it doesn't execute then it doesn't execute. But I must say my other broker does do a fine job of getting me the price I request. I have split the bid/ask on almost all my limit orders placed and when selling, at least 50% of the time I get a price beter than I requested.
Datek is great for market orders. I had a market order today that executed in 1 second. No one can beat that. But if you place a lot of limit orders trying to beat the bid/ask, then Datek may not be the best choice.
