I have no axe to grind here either. Just thought I'd add my testimony. I trade with MB and the service is pretty decent overall, but I'm thinking about moving simply because I can't place a stop order with them -- tends to limit your flexibility.

Yesterday, of all days, their accounts were all screwed up. Positions on RT screens were from the twilight zone. They posted repeated warnings via the RT news-alerts not to trade a position that isn't yours, and early in the morning they were saying that only orders to close positions would be taken by phone.

Personally, I didn't have any trouble. I only placed two trades in the morning: a buy on ISLD at 10am and a sell on ISLD at 11:30 (yes I should have held longer).
