Mr. Dryer when people expect a service and they don"t recieve it, and lose thousands of dollars in the meantime they then become the unreasonable minority. Your right Datek has promised many things options,checking, servers that work,and have delivered 0. Mr Dryer are you a customer of Datek? I have never noticed a post by you on this thread is there some other agenda here. I posted that I placed an order that did not show on my daily activity for 5 min. In that 5 min I could have been filled, the stock could of reversed, and I could incur a substantial loss all before it even shows on my daily activity screen. In this scenario I cant sell I cant cancel. Are my expectations to high. This happens daily. My inability to sell a stock in the first 1/2 hour has cost me 4500 and 1500 last month alone. But were unreasonable. The other people that have lost thousands here are also unreasonable but unfortunately there not the minority you are. Datek first to interact with there customers in this forum hoopdidoo. Not one thing posted by Datek here has happened in fact it has gotten worse. I average 30 trades 60 roundtrips a week I think my commissions generated allow me to voice my minority opinion. I state facts here and if I was making my concerns up Datek is free to rebut them. Have they, no. Because I post facts. SI on the other hands is well run and my congratulations to you on a job well done. I f datek would post that if you want to trade the first half hour of the day this is not the place to be, and if we cant match you with a buyer or seller on island the likliehood of you being filled before the price moves away is nil there would be few complaints.
