ETRADE was like a bad nightmare for me. Locked out for hours a time and almost 2 days one time. When you are locked out, the phones are clogged. ETRADE sucks even has their own thread. techstocks.com I used to post there. I am with NDB now. It is slow sometimes, but has never shut down on me like ETRADE! Pete2

ETrade will allow you to put in a sell or stop order even when you don't have a confirm from an earlier market order. I do it all the time with daytrades, especially since their trade confirmations have become so slow. You will get a warning message that you don't own the shares but the stop will execute. Happened to me in a stock the other day; buy order took 10 minutes to report filled at 13 but my stop order (placed a minute after the buy) went off at 12 as planned. Only after I stopped out did I find out that the buy went through at 13. The drawback with ETrade is you can't put a stop sell below the current price and a limit sell for the same shares at a higher price. A device that would allow both and cancel one when the other tripped would be ideal.
