shoch, it sounds like you might have used a market order,the stock was moving and you got some fills on island -- you are generally better off using a loose limit order that gives the stock room to move but won't let you get executed at the top of a run -- you can check to see how long it took to execute on the daily history page and figure out whether you were charged a commission -- if the first trade of a partial lot fill was executed within a minute I think you will get charged a commission no matter how long the balance took to fill. The one minute rule doesn't apply to short sells. They automatically give you the free trade if it qualifies I use ATFI at atfi.com for quotes, very reliable service but you may have to try several ISP to get it working smoothly Steve
