Len, here is log of my last 10-15 trades from Wed to Fri of last week. I did not trade today.

Buy 200 CSCO 0:06
Sell 400 ASND 0:05
Bought 400 ASND 5:39, free trade, plus 5 free trades to cover loss.
All orders were market orders. most buys between 9:45-10:30, most sells between 12:00-3:30.
Last free trade prior to these was 7/9. And prior to this was 6/24. I generally don't have problems with them "making good" on poorly executed trades. But I must admit, the most I've ever lost was $100 (1/4 point on a 400 share trade). I generally call any time a trade takes greater than 1 minute. Also, their markets orders are either very fast, or very slow, there's not much in between. |
