Lola,

I wish I could see the humourous side of it, but I guess I can't
even do that anymore. I'm actually considering taking a trading
hiatus until this blows over...which could be months.

It's just not worth it anymore. Trading is hard enough without
having to deal with inaccurate data feeds and backlogged borkers.

This may be it for me for awhile.

"I guess efficiency is not their strong suit" is probably a matter of who they are being efficent for. My stop order today for CMS was executed at almost the low for the day. I checked, and they were trading the stock on the way down, just not my order. From $61 to $58.50 they sat on the thing, or at least that is what they want me to believe. I wonder how many other stop orders were filled on the way down and then reported as being filled at or near the low. How would I know the difference? How would anyone?
Yeah, I know its not legal etc. So?

That only works with Investorline Lola...it won't work with TD Waterhouse because Webbroken does an automatic margin check before the order is sent to a rep.....

Anyways, this KYC issue is just an excuse imo, a red herring. If there was really a desire to solve the problem, it would be a SIMPLE procedure to have the computers check your order against your client profile - all automatically.

JMHO
