Well... it says "cancelling.." for up to 1 minute - as if it's waiting for a reversal... which happens, and then it executes me! So, I end up with a loss.

yup - i notice similar situations with limit orders where limits are outside of current bid/ask - on many occassions trades have gone thorugh at my price yet i remain unexecuted until the limit is reached - could it be someone is trying to pocket the difference on us ??

could it be datek has found a new means by which to scalp our trades ?

could it be that maybe that's where all the missing datek bandwidth goes - into trading against us !

nawww - that could never happen - nevermind my rantings - just another paranoid behind this keyboard

ps - i notice many quirky timestamps - once emailed datek about them - basically said to not worry about it - so i'm not worried
