I'm on express 7, and when I enter an order, it takes 2-3 minutes before it appears in the Daily Activity and Open orders pages - which is extremely dangerous, because you have no way of cancelling the order in those 2-3 minutes, should you need to.

Today the volume is extremely low, and in addition the trading is slow at this hour, so I assume the problem is w/ their software, rather than servers being overwhelmed, BWDIK.

Bottom line, it *is* too dangerous to trade, and I'm doing most of my trading through my other brokers today.

placed order...no confirmation nor any indication the order was "live"...

finally came up with "rejected" only to find the order was filled after communicating with trade desk (still no indication in my account), AFTER placing another order that was filled...

Datek is aware of the delay and my issue was resolved....hopefully...
got name and order number just in case.
