Jma,

Made the same mistake last Wednesday. I placed two buys of 300 shares, one at market and one at ask. I though both were executed, but only one was. Later that day I sold 600 shares at a profit. I then called E*Trade and asked about the mistake. Was told the same as you, that I needed to buy back the 300 or E*Trade would in 48 hours. The next day I bought 300 at 2 points lower. The next following day my account balance showed the additional $600 profit.

The problem is I still have the 300 shares on my Unrealized Gains and Losses and my account position. The trade does not show on your tax records. In fact I'm going to email E*Trade today and request them to please remove the extra 300 from my account. I envoy your ability to purchase 1000 shares of E*Trade. Hope these helps. italiana
