The Glitch of Death. The Glitch of Death (GoD) occurs when you place an order through Datek and the order disappears into the Twilight Zone. While "new messages" shows that the order has been placed, "open orders" shows nothing. Want to cancel the order? Sorry, pal, no can do. Datek has it and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. This has happened to me several times at Datek and it is the worst. Happened this morning again. Placed an short cover order for MHMY this morning. Tried to cancel the order, but saw that it was in the grip of the GoD. Several minutes later, it filled. $@#%^!!!. Sure would be nice if Datek would fix this particular problem.
