I'm surprised. Are they big orders? Most of the 1000-share stuff has been automted on NYSE, and Schwab is a market maker for a lot os issues, no? Most of mine go through on the asked, or better sometimes. If I'm about to move the price I hear about it and generally have them worked.

GF, I have found Schwab good at filling market orders in general. The exceptions have been early after market open. A decent online brokerage will explain a specific trade to you and even reimburse you if something still appears amiss (it certainly happens - brokerages can't always control their traders). If you remain uncertain or dissatisfied after exploring all avenues of redress, I'd go elsewhere. In general, I've found that Datek and Schwab make real efforts to be professional (altho they define the word differently. Which is why I maintain accounts in both. Each are good/bad in their own way.)
