Absolutely DIGUSTING performance from Datek today. It is not enough that the servers are slow, and all the problems with orders appearing, but the executions suck. Regularly I put an order in with a limit at the inside quote, I see trades flying at my price including on ISLD, and my order doesn't even appear on the ISLD book!!! I'm more and more getting the feeling Datek is frontrunning customer orders. I never wanted to believe that is the case, but my recent experiences of the past few weeks leave me very suspicious. I've cut back on using Datek, but recently every time I use them, I'm disgusted by their performance. Shame on you Datek. Morgan
