Hi Jma, "I had 1000 shares of a particular stock and I placed a limit sell order on 1000 shares, I also placed a stop limit sell order on 1000 shares of this same stock." sounds like the problem right there. you tried to sell the same 1000 shares twice. not cool.<g> "...as it turned out, both orders were executed by ETRADE and I was over committed by 1000 shares." bingo. "Both orders were accepted by ETRADE without any problem." these guys are so busy, i doubt they edit each transaction against the corresponding account. they leave it up to us, to know what we have and how it's to be used. "Should I believe my Account or my Portfolio with respect to this particular stock? In other words, do I still have any positions on this stock or not?" they'll likely be the judge, once they straighten it out for you. i'd continue to work the phone though. the portfolio is merely a snapshot of the Account itself. watch your Account. that's what matters. (...and if that phrase we use here, "in my humble opinion", ever applied, let it apply here.<g>)
