RE<<Placed MARKET order for 5000 shares of a $1 stock, i CANCEL >> Apparently you do not understand what a Market order is. Etrade not at fault here looks like it is the lack of understanding what Market Order really means. Market Order An order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the best available price once the order is received in the marketplace. Normally, a market order is executed at the quoted price given before the order was entered, or at a price quite close to the quote. However, if the security is volatile, the execution price could be better or worse than anticipated.
