I also got kicked off this morning and I get the following error message: Authorization failed: Retry? I have used ETrade's web service since its inception and let me the first to say that this is not a new problem. Sometimes I have to go a whole day without the ability to trade. WARNING to all who use ETrade's web service: Be very careful when using multiple browsers in Netscape. A couple months ago I had two open browsers: both of them set up for buys on different stocks. When I submitted the order it picked the stock that was in the OTHER browser. I write software for a living and believe it to be a problem with the caching algorithm. Of course I submitted a problem report to ETrade but to no avail. I no longer use multiple browsers during online trading. Lesson learned. For those traders that are active every day ETrade is not the answer. Their service at times is pretty quick, but many times I have been completely unable to trade because of their server. I am considering moving to Datek but I've been told they are not available in Florida yet. Feedback welcome Bob Huff Honeywell Space Systems Clearwater, FL
