Yesterday I placed an order for MARG around 10:00. At 4:30, the status of the order was cancelled-expired. I thought okay fine. Today it's on the list of stocks I own. I foolishly did not check my list until after the stock was at 21 (I got in at 26). Today 3 of my trades have gone through. Two placed at 10:30 are showing open, two placed at 11:00 are showing open. And I know it would do no good to cancel them now--I'm sure they've already gone through. Yesterday, I was able to get some quick buying and selling done, but not today. I almost choked when I saw their commercial--"We know it's your money--trades go through fast and accurate---we've doing this for 23 years." I'm going to start looking for another provider. I'm going to look for some SI threads and hopefully find one that's faster. Part of the reason I like daytrading is because I hope to have days when everything's done by noon. How does their commercial go, "I traded my Ford for a Honda and my Honda for a Mercedes---all before lunch." Yeah, right thanks for letting me vent Greta
