[ WebStreet 1, NDB 2 ]
In my trial evaluation of WebStreet, I am duplicating orders placed at NDB, and comparing execution.
Today I wanted to short 6,000 LIPO at 6 3/8, so I split the order evenly between WebStreet and NDB. I placed both orders at 9:25. By 9:31 and a few seconds, both Web pages confirmed a fill. However, the WebStreet "Order Status" window does not show a fill price. The positions window does not yet show the position. I called WebStreet and asked someone how I can use their Web page to find the fill price. The guy admitted that he doesn't use WebStreet software, so he doesn't know how I can check.
Both NDB and WebStreet filled me at 6 17/31, the low for the day so far. Score 1 point each for both brokers. However, NDB charged me $28, and WebStreet charged me $0.
After the fills, I placed orders to cover. I notice that the WebStreet "Order Status" page window shows my order, but does not show the limit price. Are we supposed to keep track of that ourselves? |
