Judy, I have used Fido for about 5 years now
also have real time streaming quotes on IQ
for a market order it usually takes 10-20 seconds for me to see the trade on IQ, after I have hit the order button on Fidelity's software
on the slow days of the last two weeks took as short as 6-8 seconds

I have tested this a number of times on thinly traded stocks with odd sized orders to ensure what I see is my fill; assume fills may be even faster on high volume stocks (I usually make 5-20 trades a day)

no difference between NASDAQ or listed stocks

so one must assume that the fill is much faster than that as the trade must go from filling through some number of stops before it hits IQ on my screen

it may take anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes to get the confirmation on Fido's software, a bit less over touch tone

I only use their FOX+ software, think that their web site sucks

also, still can not use either buy or sell stops on 4 letter stocks

they are not the cheapest but fills are excellent (if you are a high volume trader you might get a discount from their least expensive published rate)

hope this helps
