Missed a great no-brainer trade this morning, after someone placed a large market sell in a stock that I was watching.

I was in watch list. Right clicked on the stock, getting the trade window. Realized that I was in the wrong account, but filled in the trade details in any event.

Changed accounts. Was defaulted back to the watch list. Right clicked on the stock and selected "load to trade window", or whatever it is. It didn't pop up, as I had already loaded it and I guess it stays in the background under those situations.

Finally reduced the watch list window and went to the trade window. The damn values that I had entered were changed to default (1,000 shares, etc.) when I changed accounts. By the time I got the order placed again, I had missed the opportunity.

It seems as though this sucker was designed in a lab, rather than to meet the needs of real world traders. I still like it, but...... there are many ways that it could be improved, and all they need to do is study the competitive products.
