Hello, Peter, This morning, I placed an order to sell COMS at 62 7/8. The bid and ask prices that time were 62 7/8 and 63. My order failed to got executed for about 5 minutes while the bid and ask stood the same. Finally my order got timed out. I called Datek to complain about this. The first explanation I got was that the price 62 7/8 was there only for 1 minute. I double checked the intraday chart and rejected the explanation. Then the explanation changed to that there were many orders before mine and it took time to execute. I used to have orders executed in 3-5 seconds. But now we are talking about 3-5 minutes. I cannot accept this explanation. I guess you cannot either. But what's wrong with your systems? Can you offer an explanation? Thanks in advance. John
