Would both DATEK and Fidelity be reliable in high volume situations. . .the time you most need to trade? How fast is Fidelity? Can you do buy stops on both? Two of my DATEK experiences from yesterday: NTAP: when it hit 47, I placed a stop buy order (market) at the price of 48 1/2. A few minutes later the price went through my stop buy and guess what? No execution - I canceled the order when NTAP hit 54, the canceling confirmation was prompt. NTAP later hit 68, but without me .... AMAT: was trading at 92, I tried it again and placed my stop buy order at 92 1/2. After that price was hit nothing happened. I also cancelled that order later and AMAT went to 100 ..... Regards, Jrgen
