Get this CRAP with E-Trade today: Placed MARKET order for 5000 shares of a $1 stock, i CANCEL the order and change it to a LIMIT order. I get a message back, ORDER CANCELLED. 5 minutes later...ORDER CANCELLED IN ERROR, REINSTATED. Great, so now I have a MARKET buy in for a falling stock AFTER they told me it was cancelled. Then I cant sell cause the shares were not showing up in my account yet. This coulda cost me a lot of $$ and E-Trade screwed up royally. Combine this with the fact that HALF the time I place orders now, the preview is BLANK and I have to retry the order, OVER AND OVER. Or I get that message "You appear to be having trouble accessing this feature...." What a crock of BS.
