That is a really good idea, base that default on monetary value. We were going to let you change the size of the order from the default "100", OR let you use your remaining buying power. But letting you pick the value of the order is a really good idea. Secret Hint for using new investment site: If you enter an order, when you get to the confirmation page, neither confirm nor not-confirm the order. instead, go to Daily Activity. You will see your order on the daily activity report, and the "Not Confirmed" status will be a link. Use that link to go back to the confirmation page. You can use this to "preload" a set of orders, and then confirm them later. Sometime soon this feature will be incorporated into the user interface on the site, but feel free to try it out until then. let us know what you think. -peter stern cto & co-founder, datek online
