Ditto - I cannot cancel my order, and nobody answers the phone.

This is just silly, not silly-fast!

15 minutes later, it looks like I may get my AAPL at 38 1/4 after all. Now I don't want it, though.

This is scarey.

(I finally got through on the phone, and got the order cancelled just before AAPL dropped back through 38 1/4... This was like watching Dudley Dooright rescue Little Nell from the railroad tracks - a just in time save...)

Although I would love to try to trade this market, it would be imprudent to do so right now using Datek - absolutely insane. So, I am going to sit it out until Peter comes on here and tells us that this problem has been positively fixed, and what they have done to prevent it from happening again.

Then I will evaluate whether I want to continue to trade with Datek.
