Stops are different from limit as you know... stops are "almost" a must if you're dealing in the on-line trading business. A limit sell order will get executed by anything above that... since it is essentially a sell order to that price or better... If you like trading there... flood them with e-mails, if they don't respond... move your account is my advice. There will come a time when stops will be very valuable... to me it's an indispensable feature... SF

viola, If you put in a limit less than the current bid it will get executed as if it were a market order - not even close to being like a stop There are "stops" and "stop limits" - quite different animals Surprised that you can't put in a stop, but I've heard others including AB Watley don't let you put in stops on NAZ stocks - that's why I never switched from Waterhouse.
