People should be responsible, they claim they are, but the first thing they do when they lose is call a shyster lawyer to sue the brokerage (just general commentary, I am not saying this about you). I think the rule is of benefit. You don't want dishonest MMs running up the price because of a large size order. DocStone

This is simply an admission on the part of Web Street that they have very poor execution on market orders. It is easier to restrict the use of their customers than it is to fix the problem. Believe me, they are saving you money by forcing you to place a limit order.
