Brian,
I'm not a big fan of Greenline either, and when I get back to daytrading full time, I will probably look elsewhere, but I just wanted you to know that I 'daytrade' with TD Web broker all the time.
Although the trade you make in the morning, won't show up in your portfolio list of stocks immediately, all you have to do is click on the Equity order button and 'sell' the stock. You will need to enter all the details of your sell manually, but that's all there is to it. When I'm daytrading, I often put the sell in at a high price as soon as I've seen the confirmation of the buy. This allows a little time for the 'approvers' to do their thing, probably including a check to see if I own the stock <g>. Then, when I'm ready, I just move the price down to where I want it and bingo, it's sold. I know it's easier to push the sell button on your portfolio, but this works and it isn't too much trouble.

The only time I got into trouble was when I put a crazy 'high' sell price of 4.99 on BII one day and it was approved and sold before I was ready <g>. Turned out to be a very good thing in the long run, although I missed the high that day by a mile!

Regards!
