E*Trade probably screwed you. However, I would bet $1000 that you don't get a dime (I mean it, not even a free trade) from E*Trade. But its good to see someone fighting for 1/8!
I've had my share of problems with E*Trade (see E*trade - as a service) and the score is E*Trade 100 - Rodney 0. But, I got plans to screw them.

I will use the "service" (i.e. real time quotes, research etc.) as long as I can with out paying (My E*Trade balance = 0).

The following is a dirty trick - Since I was unable to get any satisfaction for my numerous complaints. I actually felt cheated! because E*Trade had made $19.95 x 2 on a horrible trade. So I called customer service 10 times and asked a stupid question. I also resubmitted and challenged all previous denials. This costly waste of time was borne by me and E*Trade. I don't know the hourly salaries of the service and trade managers but I assure you that I wasted over $40 of their time. E*Trade, literally cost me thousands, and my desperate sabatoige tricks were the only way E*Trade lost on this deal. I know we are both better off going our separate ways.

P.S. The Power Trader and Platinum privileges are a joke! Many of the Power Traders still use the normal system because of the problems. I have Platinum privilege at E*Trade and I assure you I don't have an advantage (however the real time quotes are cool).
