I have Ameritrade, but I find it can take hours for trades to show as filled:

--Yesterday placed buy order at 10:30. At 4:30 order status was cancelled due to expiration or something like that. Today the stock is in my account. If I had known I had it, I would have sold it yesterday. the stock is now down 6 from where I bought it.

--Today 2 orders placed at 10:30 are showing as open, 2 orders placed at 11:00 are showing as open, 2 orders placed at 2:50 are showing as open. I'm sure they've been filled--that's how it works with them.

Now that I've complained, I will say that yesterday, I was able to get quite a few trades in and actually did some quick in and out trading. In general, I've noticed that it takes 2-3 hours to be notified of a trade. I like to do a lot of buying and selling and that is not acceptable to me.

i really hope people honestly discuss their online services, because I'd like to change firms.

Oh yuk, there's an Ameritrade commercial on now. They're talking about fast and accurate trades. They are not fast enough for me

Now I want to quickly check to see if any of the orders went through.
